iRest is a meditation practice base on the ancient tradition of Yoga Nidra, adapted for the modern life. It can be practiced by anyone, regardless of physical ability or experience with meditation. When practiced regularly, iRest enables you to meet each moment of your life with peace and wellbeing. This practice can be done while sitting in a chair or lying on the floor. Bringing a yoga mat, blanket, towel or small pillow, and eye covering could make the experience more enjoyable but is not necessary. Barbara Holt is a registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance(RYT-200) with over a decade of experience teaching yoga and meditation in a variety of settings. Barbara is an iRest Level 2 teacher. To learn more about the benefits of iRest, please visit www.irest.org.

From there, we will go up the ramp and view what is left of the old Maribel Caves Hotel.
