iRest® Meditation
Yellow Ribbon Events
Yellow Ribbon events are made available by the United States Department of Defense for pre and post-deployment Reserves and National Guard Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen. Everyone benefits - military, first responders and family. Mindful Bliss Yoga works with organizations to create the best and safest atmosphere possible for an "mini" iRest® Meditation experience. A typical 30- 45 min. session looks like this:
-
room monitor scans attendees as they enter the room and find a seat
-
teacher introduction and iRest meditation (history/research)
-
what to expect / the “roadmap”
-
leave-behind resources
Contact your organization's Yellow Ribbon Coordinator today to find out how this program can help you and your loved ones.
Heroes, it's time to renew your health & well being

About PTSD and iRest®
​
Post-traumatic stress disorder is a severe anxiety disorder with typical treatment being medications and/or psychotherapy. iRest teachers work with those experiencing trauma, their physicians and caregivers to navigate the symptoms of PTSD, and often associated conditions such as phobias, suicidal feelings, mood disorders, insomnia, fatigue, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, all of which can be debilitating. In working with traumas of the mind, as well as severe traumas in the body, iRest has helped navigate recovery and increase coping skills. iRest is integrative in that it heals the various unresolved issues, traumas, and wounds that are present in the body and mind, and restorative in that it aids the body and mind in returning to a natural state of functioning. iRest fosters freedom from stress and trauma, and helps identify and heal destructive tendencies that otherwise can impede the healing process.
Welcome to
My Military Family

Craig Hoivik, USAF Veteran
After doing iRest, I woke up the next morning and it dawned on me, 'I fell directly to sleep last night and did not wake up all night.' That same morning I went to the gym and felt an incredibly drastic improvement in my workout quality due to both better breathing as well as a stronger awareness and connection to the mind-muscle connection. Thank you Liz for sharing your gift with me!"
