iRest

What is iRest?

iRest is a unique and comprehensive set of tools for life. We will never get very far if we are not prepared to work on our internal structures to build resilience to life change and challenge. iRest teaches us that within each of us are the inner resources to stay anchored and awake whilst being shaped by change. 

iRest will introduce core concepts for personal development and deep understanding into our human nature.  

Richard Miller, the creator of iRest has drawn on the ancient wisdom philosophies of yoga and Buddhism as well as current brain science. 

iRest research studies have been conducted since 2007. Populations include veterans suffering PTSD, populations with chronic pain, symptoms of stress, sleep disturbances, and depression.

iRest was found to have improved sleep time and quality; decrease body tension and reduce depressive symptoms in participants completing a 6 week program. In terms of chronic pain iRest has been shown to be well suited to “empower patients to manage their conditions through the skills and techniques taught.”
