About this Class

NOTE: This class is for Veterans only Come back to yourself with iRest. This deep meditation is a wonderful nervous system reset for every human. Used in military settings as a top tier therapy for PTS and operational stress you will rest deeply in stillness for body & mind. This practice is a wonderful support for stress relief, mental health and pain. Make sure you are in a comfortable physical position, a chair or lying on the floor or in bed. If you are lying, down place a pillow under your knees and heels to rest the back. You may want a blanket to cover you as your body temperature will drop during class. Instruction is primarily verbal cueing; minimal physical demonstration. Recommended props: blanket, pillows

I have mental health issues, although the meds help a little, I find groups such as this one really help keep my mind centered, the body calmer, and all around more positive attitude and outlook. Very grateful for these classes
