Based on the ancient teachings of meditation and Yoga Nidra, iRest® is an evidence based transformative practice that leads to psychological, physical and spiritual healing and well-being.
Its practice is integrative, as it heals the various unresolved issues and traumas that are present in your body and mind, and restorative as it enables you to recognise your innate peace of mind that is always present amidst all changing circumstances of life.
iRest provides you with tools to help you relax deeply, release stress, increase resiliency, improve your interpersonal relationships and provide you with greater mastery and control in your life.
iRest nourishes noble qualities such as joy, peacefulness, empathy, forgiveness, patience and loving kindness toward yourself and others, and supports you to resolve issues such as insomnia, anxiety, fear and depression.

Tina Shettigara introduced iRest to South Australia in 2014 and has since shared the practice with many people, assisting them on their path to healing. Tina is also South Australia's first IRI Certified iRest Teacher®. She offers short courses, workshops and retreats, including the introductory course "The Essence of iRest Yoga Nidra".
Tina is also available for individual consultation, either for your personal led Yoga Nidra practice or for a co-meditation iRest "dyad" in which you are guided through a deeply healing meditation in dialogue with the teacher.
This six week course teaches you the foundations of iRest Yoga Nidra as a meditative practice. This is a meditation course, not a movement class.
