With Kevin Kortan

• Are you feeling tired or tense?
• Would you like to have more energy, be more relaxed?
• Would you like to improve your memory and concentration?
• Would you like to free yourself from emotional reactivity and negativity?

iRest induces deep relaxation throughout your entire body and mind and enables you to eliminate stress and resolve personal problems and trauma. It neutralizes anxiety, fear, anger, depression and insomnia. It teaches you how to enter deep meditation, and in its ultimate form, iRest helps you unravel the mystery of life and answer the questions, "Who am I?" and "What is enlightenment?"

Integrative Restoration, or iRest, is a modern adaptation of Yoga Nidra, the ancient form of yogic meditation. iRest helps you break free of self-limiting patterns, emotions and beliefs so that you may live a contented life, free of conflict, anxiety and suffering. In its ultimate form, iRest reveals the secret of enlightenment and introduces you to your True Nature as joyful and radiant Presence.

There are many studies that have proven the efficacy of relaxation and meditation. The great thing about iRest® is that it lures you into meditation effortlessly, through the valley of deep relaxation. You find yourself ascending the slopes of meditation without even "trying to meditate". All this while lying down! It can also be practiced seated or standing, and then throughout one's daily life.

Herbert Benson, associate professor at Harvard Medical School says, “How can we deal with our feelings of stress? … modify our behavior by regularly invoking the relaxation response” which “can reverse sustained problems in the body and mend the internal wear and tear brought on by stress.” This workshop offers tangible tools to:

• profoundly relax
• deeply rejuvenate
• sleep well
• improve your digestion, memory, and concentration
• de-stress
• support your immune system
• reduce pain and fatigue
• improve your flexibility
• resolve personal problems and trauma
• neutralize anxiety, fear, anger, depression, and insomnia.

iRest is usually practiced lying on the back, but can also be practiced sitting, or even standing. Kevin teaches iRest - Yoga Nidra one on one as well as in group classes and workshops.
