Register through Darthub with CRN 32678. CLASS IS FULL 25S. You can look for space during drop/add, but we cannot add additional students to the course.
The iRest Yoga Nidra wellness course is an 8-week meditation program (with a required orientation session: Thursday, April 3, 4:30-5:30 in Berry 178B--the SWC/ASC Conference Room) created by psychologist and yogi, Dr. Richard Miller, based on the ancient tradition of Yoga Nidra. iRest was adapted to Western psychology and neuroscience and has been used as a mindfulness intervention that decreases stress and depression for many populations. Each class will focus on a different iRest skill from body scans to embracing opposing emotions and conclude with a poem and written reflection. Students have the opportunity to learn about the skill, practice in class, and then are given audio resources to practice at home. To enrich their practice, students will be assigned brief readings, associated worksheets, and will fill out meditation logs to record and reflect on their at-home practice. Register through Darthub with CRN 32678 and complete this form (to be added). PLEASE plan to attend required orientation session: Thursday, April 3, 4:30-5:30pm in Berry 178B--the SWC/ASC Conference Room.

You will be guided through the ancient practice of yoga nidra: a deeply restful and rejuvenating sleep-like meditation. Participants will be invited to lie down, get comfortable, and simply listen to the words of the meditation while doing absolutely nothing else. Yoga philosophy states that 30 minutes of yoga nidra practice is equivalent to 3-4 hours of sleep. Come see for yourself!

Refresh is a sleep quality intervention designed for college students based on cognitive behavioral therapy. Students with poor sleep quality who take part in the self-administered Refresh program show improved sleep quality and depressive symptoms.
PLEASE NOTE: This is an 8-week module, so you'll be enrolled in the CANVAS course at the beginning of the term. It is not required that you complete this for the credit, but we want you to have access to it at the start of term. The course will prompt you to keep a "30-second sleep journal" every morning and read one short module every week that contains info, tips, and practice for the week.

The prompts will also be available via SWC newsletters for those unable to attend in person.
Please RSVP:
Each week will look something like this:
5 minutes: Welcome and settling in with tea
10 minutes: Brief introduction to the day's theme and journaling prompt/method
10-30 minutes: Individual journaling time with the weekly prompt
15 minutes: Optional sharing circle (participants can share insights if they wish)
5 minutes: Closing reflection and preview of next week's theme

During these one-on-one sessions, you get a chance to talk out all of the things you've been carrying in your head or on your heart with a trained listener who can provide a source of non-judgmental support. While these conversations can vary greatly in terms of what we discuss, our goal is to listen carefully and work with you to navigate the different transitions you're facing and take steps toward making the most of this period of your life.
