A Body Sensing Practice

A key part of the iRest Yoga Nidra practice is body sensing, noticing and feeling sensations in the body, learning to safely 'feel' and 'listen' to the body's messages.

The body is the vehicle we have to experience life, yet many people are disconnected from the body. Cut off because it’s too uncomfortable to connect with and feel your body, disconnected, and disassociated because of past hurt, pain, trauma or problems with the body and what it's been through.

It’s the classroom where we can explore and heal. The more we can be with whatever comes up for us in a practice. As we become more comfortable with ourselves physically, mentally, and emotionally, we can be less reactive, so we can learn to respond healthily to how we feel about life situations. We can live with less conflict and more integrity, giving us more satisfaction, peace and happiness, which means we can be comfortable with life and being ourselves.
