Yoga Nidra & Other Guided Meditation

8 Week Integrative Restoration (iRest™) Meditation Series - led by Louise Mahoney, MS, RYT-500

iRest™ is a version of an ancient yoga nidra (sleep) meditation developed with a military/veteran population in mind. This 8 session series was adpated from an 8 week iRest™ meditation series and recorded live during weekly phone meditation sessions offered by the CA WRIISC. 

Each recording cycles through the 10 stages of iRest™ while emphasizing a different stage each week in the introduction.

It may be useful to listen to each introduction at least one time as you begin your meditation practice and then skip to the meditation only as you continue to practice.

Disclaimer: We are working to improve the sound quality of some of the recordings.
