Neal Ghoshal is delighted to host iRest Yoga Nidra Level 1 Training in March 2020.
What is iRest Yoga Nidra and How Does It Work?
Developed over 30 years by Richard Miller PhD, iRest Yoga Nidra meditation supports psychological, physical and spiritual health, healing and awakening.
iRest is an accessible meditation protocol that is integrative, as it heals unresolved issues and traumas, and restorative, as it aids practitioners in recognizing the underlying peace of mind that is always present amidst all changing circumstances in life.
Due to its effectiveness and ease of use, iRest has proven to effectively support the healing process across a broad range of populations, including those with PTSD, chronic pain, sleep issues, high stress, depression, and anxiety.
In this Level 1 Training, you will learn:
-
The core principles and practice of iRest meditation.
-
How to use iRest for your personal practice.
-
How to teach and deliver iRest simply yet effectively in group and individual settings.
Following the Level 1 Training, you will:
-
Join a global community of teachers teaching iRest in yoga studios, sleep clinics, rehabilitation and healthcare facilities, hospice, prisons, universities, schools, as well as in private practice.
-
Be able to list yourself on the iRest Institute website as an iRest Level 1 Teacher.
-
Be able to access our “Teacher Resources” and our “Teachers Community Network” for further personal and professional support.
-
Be recommended by the iRest Institute to people seeking iRest teachers in their local area.
Please note: In order to receive a certificate of attendance designating you as a iRest Level 1 Teacher you must arrive on time every day and attend all training sessions.

She incorporates iRest and Self-Inquiry in her teachings of Yoga, Somatic body awareness and meditation at her yoga studio “Prema Yoga” on the Gold Coast, Australia and internationally.
In 2007, Richard Miller, her spiritual mentor, brought to Fuyuko a deeper understanding of living life in a nondual way. From a life of ever deepening joy, astonishment and Stillness, a heartfelt desire to share these precious teachings has sprung forth.

I deeply respect Fuyuko for how she integrates her grounded presence and deep passion for truth, beauty, love and community when teaching yoga and iRest meditation practices.
