Exploration, rest, and awakening of body, mind, and heart through the practices of gentle yoga and iRest® yoga nidra
A Gentle Journey
with Turi Hetherington
Eight-week series
31 August- 19 October 2021
Tuesdays 6:30-8:00pm CT
“The inspiration you seek is already within you. Be silent and listen.” - Rumi
In our fast-paced, high-tech world we’re often on the go, moving from one task or commitment to another, leaving little time to replenish body, mind and spirit. The pace of it can wear us out.
Join Turi for this 8-week Gentle Journey to:
Learn science and philosophy behind iRest® Yoga Nidra
Explore the 10-step protocol of iRest® Yoga Nidra
Move your body to unwind built-up stress and tension in your hips, back and shoulders
Deeply calm your nervous system
Learn how to integrate difficult thoughts & emotions
Awaken to your essential nature of vibrance, peace and ease
Enhance your sense of joy, equanimity and well-being in daily life
When it comes to yoga, the pose we need the most is savasana (the final resting pose at the end of almost every yoga practice).
iRest® Yoga Nidra is like a long, guided savasana. The journey takes you through all the layers of your being - physical, energetic, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. You will meet and greet sensations, the breath, emotions and beliefs along the way. You will rest in your inner sanctuary of peace and ease. Your heartfelt desire will be your compass.
It will be a gentle journey of self-discovery and self-love.
“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.”
– The Bhagavad Gita
