Dare to Rest? Learn an effective form of meditation
iRest® Yoga Nidra is a simple form of meditation designed for modern day living. Everyone needs a way to feel at ease when life gets challenging. iRest (which stands for integrative restoration) helps you tap into a place that is calm - even when life is not.
It is easy to learn, easy to do, and it can be done by anyone. In this course, you will learn the 10 tools of iRest, and be supported with 8 guided audio recordings and a workbook and weekly support emails.
iRest is evidence-based and has been researched in US army veterans hospitals across the US for the last 10 years. It combines mindfulness, ancient yoga techniques, and Western medical knowledge. Some people use iRest to relax when life gets busy. Others use it to help heal from serious trauma, stress, insomnia, depression, PTSD, chronic pain and chemical dependency.
Courses begin wed 17 Oct 1 - 2.30pm or Sunday 20 oct 4 - 5.30pm
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
