Weekly Meditation from Home
Yoga nidra (yoga sleep) is a spoken word guided meditation that promotes a sense of deep calm while enhancing awareness. The meditation class follows the 10 stage iRest™ protocol.
During class Veterans:
- Discover a heartfelt mission & purpose and establish a goal for the meditation
- Establish and connect with an inner “safe haven”
- Explore the connection between body sensations, emotions, thoughts and beliefs with an awareness of how thoughts and emotions affect the body and mind
- Learn to experience an inner joy and develop an awareness of, and access to, one's own sense of well-being
- Connect with an inner strength & resiliency in order to more appropriately “respond” rather than “react” to situations in life
Ask your Primary Care Provider for a referral to participate in this meditation.

Yoga practice provides many physical and mental benefits, offering improved circulation, flexibility, respiration, energy, and more. While all exercise offers physical benefits, yoga is unique. Not only does it provide preventative mental and physical benefits, but it also teaches breath awareness—called pranayama—along with a variety of breathing techniques to help you maintain energy, strength, and relieve stress. Experts have long publicized the advantages of yoga for your mind and body, and there are many great reasons yoga has become so popular for maintaining physical and mental wellbeing.
These sessions are free.
