DEEP REST and RELAXATION

iRest® is a form of yoga meditation called yoga nidra often called, "the sleep of the yogis," as it takes us to a place between sleep and awake where deep healing can occur.

Guided iRest® (Integrative Restoration) is typically practiced in a lying down position with supports of pillows and blankets to allow the body to deeply relax, the breath to flow freely and the mind to settle into a state of calm.

iRest helps to

  • shift the nervous system from stress mode to restorative mode,

  • increase self-awareness and

  • resolve habits and cycles that perpetuate suffering.

Pronounced RAY-KEY, Reiki is a Japanese healing art that has ancient roots through-out the world. It is based on the belief that our body has an innate ability to heal itself.

During a Reiki session, a practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the client's body, enhancing the flow of life force energy. It is a gentle and non-intrusive method that can support one’s healing intentions while providing deep relaxation and relief of pain and stress.

As you rest and connect, you may feel a slight tingling, heat, coolness, other sensations or nothing at all, depending upon how your body senses energy at the time. You may feel increased relaxation, focus or peace and calm in your mind.

Restorative yoga is very different from the active forms of movement yoga. It involves resting in a supportive nest of yoga blankets and props arranged to help soothe and purify the nervous system, release holdings in the body and mind, and cultivate feelings of bliss.

Most people report a quieting of the mind, deep relaxation in the body and a natural connection with the stillness and peace that abides within.

A flexible, three-tiered pricing structure is available for most services, so you may reflect on what you are able to pay and choose the best fit for you.
