Based on the ancient practice of Yoga Nidra, meaning “yogic sleep,” iRest Meditation is an evidenced-informed guided meditation protocol that’s been widely studied for it’s efficacy in helping alleviate stress, anxiety, symptoms of PTSD, chronic pain, and insomnia. iRest Meditation has historically been endorsed by the U.S. Army Surgeon General and recognized by the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury as a form of complementary and integrative medicine.

In this workshop, participants will learn about the 10-step protocol of iRest and be guided through a light-hearted interactive learning experience in which they’ll craft their “Inner Resource” — a powerful self-regulation tool that’s yours to use when life gets too “life-y.” The workshop will conclude with a full iRest Meditation practice.

Your instructor, Alli Houseworth, (E-RYT 500, YACEP) has been teaching iRest meditation to active duty service members, veterans, and civilians since 2018. Alli also teaches adaptive yoga to veterans as part of the Warrior Canine Connection’s Mission Based Trauma Recovery program, the Army Recovery Care Program, (folks in recovery from substance use disorder), and works as a Yoga and iRest Specialist for O2X Human Performance (a company founded by two Navy SEALS that provides customized wellness programs for public safety departments, the military, and federal agencies).

Past students have shared :
"iRest helps me acknowledge my emotions and self-negativity so I can better cope with life's struggles and daily experiences.”
“I am thankful for iRest and the concepts and techniques that I have learned, and am still learning.”
“iRest has given me tools to better my mental/emotional health, in turn making my recovery a little easier to understand and deal with.”
