Since becoming an iRest teacher over ten years ago, the benefits have been truly transformative. My world view, my life view has been enriched by a deeper understanding of what meditation is, a clear and deep pathway with really practical tools not only to meet the challenges of my life, my work and my relationships, but to help me understand what my life is about. Although rooted in ancient teachings, I love how contemporary and meaningful the practice is.

You’re ready for a deep, restorative iRest practice and the teacher begins by asking you to find a comfortable position on your back. You look around the room (or as the case may be, the Zoom) and everyone else seems to be managing well. In fact, they all look pretty blissed out. Why can it be so hard to just lie still?

Ten years ago I had the great pleasure to meet Fuyuko Toyota. We were both assisting our teacher Donna Farhi on a long 21-day training and I was immediately drawn to Fuyuko for her warmth, her humility and humour and her deep, compassionate wisdom.

Have you ever noticed feeling light and physically relaxed when you’re happy? Or noticed sensations of unease in your heart, stomach, or gut when you’re upset?
Meditate on physical sensations, known as bodysensing, in order to feel calm, grounded, and healthy.
