iRest Yoga Nidra for Anxiety

Anxiety shows up in different ways for each of us; persistent worry, a racing heartbeat, overwhelm, or a sense of being disconnected. In this mini-course, licensed therapist and senior iRest Yoga Nidra teacher Stephanie Lopez introduces how anxiety can take shape, why it persists, and how we might begin to soften its grip. This course is especially designed for yoga teachers, dedicated students, and those seeking accessible, yoga-based support for working with anxiety.
