UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

SATURDAY May 10 •  1PM – 4PM • IN PERSON OR VIA ZOOM

Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Credits Available

All students, from first-time practitioners to advanced, are invited to experience the complementary practices of yoga asana and iRest yoga nidra. This workshop, offered by Cara Sparkman will begin with a meditative ‘check-in’ and an exploration of intention–both short term and long term. From this foundation, we’ll explore somatic movement and meditation practices designed to help us rediscover peace and resilience and to address the ultimate underlying cause of stress by experiencing our true nature as the non separate wholeness of Being. Practitioners of all levels will enjoy a balanced practice with lasting whole-body effects, and teachers will appreciate new techniques for postural conditions arising from somatic manifestations of stress, such as Extension Syndrome, Flexion Syndrome, and even functional scoliosis. Finally, the practice will conclude with a 25 minute guided iRest yoga nidra, featuring a long body-sensing and a focus on Being. Participants will not only enjoy the benefits of the workshop, but will also receive a recording for their personal use.

Based on the ancient teachings of meditation, iRest yoga nidra is an evidence-based transformative practice that leads to psychological, physical, and spiritual healing and well-being. Its practice is integrative as it heals the various unresolved issues and traumas that are present in your body and mind, and restorative as it enables you to recognize your innate peace of mind that is always present amidst all changing circumstances of life. iRest provides you with tools to help you relax deeply, release stress, increase resiliency, improve your interpersonal relationships and provide you with greater mastery and control in your life. iRest is an evidence-based, mind-body approach that is the result of thirty-plus years of observation, research and hands-on development by Dr. Richard Miller and associates.
