Yoga Nidra Meditation
Online Gatherings & Recorded Yoga Nidra Meditations
These iRest Yoga Nidra practices are open and beneficial to everyone. We gather monthly to discuss iRest Yoga Nidra meditation and to explore a new theme. We then practice with a new Yoga Nidra recorded practice uploaded that afternoon (which will then be part of the growing library of recorded practices). Below you will see a preview of the schedule of the live-streaming gatherings, as well as the growing library of recorded Yoga Nidra practices. There are three sections in total of Yoga Nidra offerings.
If you already have a monthly subscription and would like to access these practices, click here.
If you are not yet a member, you can enjoy a 10-day free trial of ALL recorded and live-stream gatherings.
Click each section to preview the livestream practice times & summary of recorded practices. To access these classes you will need to sign in to your 'Dashboard' (see link just above).

Guided meditations that support deep healing, meditative inquiry, and deep renewal – equally beneficial for beginner meditators and advanced practitioners.
Gather with Clearlight and a growing community for monthly live-streaming discussions and Q & A. Enjoy the company of fellow yogis, share experiences, or ask questions to support your own personal practice.
Enjoy unlimited access to recordings of Yoga Nidra practices from an ever growing library of meditations, and then practice anytime. A newly recorded Yoga Nidra is added on a monthly basis.
Be guided by a teacher steeped in experience and training of over 20 years. Clearlight is a certified senior iRest Trainer, Teacher, and Mentor with the iRest Institute in California.
Rest deeply in the comfort and privacy of your own home, allow yourself time and space with no one you need to speak to afterwards... and nowhere to go... just linger and integrate the gifts of your practice.
Have a collection of practices at your fingertips to reduce stress, help you sleep, support physical, emotional and mental healing, and to pursue your path of inquiry guided by the deepest calling of your heart.
Explore iRest as both a way to build day-to-day wellbeing and resiliency, and to connect to your deepest Self. Clearlight offers an accessible understanding of the nondual wisdom teachings that inform iRest, with insights that come from her own journey and decades of personal study and practice.
always reach out if you have other questions... I'm here...
Yes! Everyone has 10 days to access all live and recorded classes free of charge. Sign up for the monthly membership to access the ten days of free classes. If you'd like to keep the membership, no action is required. Otherwise it is easy to cancel your membership before the ten days are up, or anytime thereafter.
You can stop your monthly membership anytime. Sign in on the top bar of this page, click 'My Account,' then click 'Billing,' under Subscriptions simply press the Cancel box. This will stop future billings. (You will have access to the classes until the end of the monthly period for which you have already paid.)
You do not need to purchase any extra materials. The most important thing is you are comfortable during the practice. The practice is usually practiced lying down, however you can try it sitting as well. You can lie on your back, on your side, on a couch, in your bed, on the floor... as you like. It is helpful to have a blanket as your body does typically cool, and pillows to support your body. An eye bag to cover your eyes is lovely to have if you have one, a folded towel will do.
Absolutely! Although the Mindful Yoga movement classes are designed to support inner quiet, wellbeing and inquiry, there are other practices available that do not include movement. Within the course content of the Mindful Yoga and Meditation you will find recorded meditation, breathing, and chanting and mudra practices.
A regular Yoga Nidra practice is effective in reducing stress and anxiety, improving your direct sense of wellbeing, and in building a toolset to increase resiliency, navigate intense sensations and emotions, and to reconnect to the part of you that is already whole, complete and okay all along. These benefits are IDEAL in supporting the health and wellness of your pregnancy and childbirth, and the practices are essential in navigating the early days of caring for yourself as you care for baby, and far, far beyond. So long answer to simply say, yes.
Short answer: Everyone. This is an extraordinary practice, in that it is simple, accessible and transformative... beneficial if you've never meditated before, beneficial if you're a seasoned meditator of decades.
The practice recordings are meditations that can be followed by everyone, with opportunities within each Yoga Nidra to tailor the inquiry to your personal needs. The individualized iRest sessions are directly personalized to your needs, and very effective if you have a specific interest or goal, if you are seeking support in your journey of healing (physically, emotionally, mentally) or are healing trauma, or for guidance in deepening your own meditative inquiry - all to awaken your capacity for deep insight, healing and understanding. Contact Clearlight directly if you are interested.
Your monthly membership will give you unlimited access not only to Yoga Nidra Meditations, but also to live-streaming and recorded practices of Mindful Yoga & Meditation – a powerful way to feel better in your body, work with the breath and calm the mind. Read more about Mindful Yoga.
