Richard Miller Endorsement: "Teaching Yoga Nidra to specialized populations such as Military requires skills beyond what we teach during our Level I and II trainings. These skills include how to: bridge world and cultural views; use language appropriate to military culture; meet specific challenges pertaining to Military populations; adapt scripts to fit individual and group needs; and much more. Robin, Karen, Molly and Pat are experts in the field, and present a rich kaleidoscope of information and techniques that will help you hone your skills and comfort level in bringing iRest to servicemembers, veterans and their families. The need is great, the opportunities many, the work important. I wholeheartedly support this program, and find myself gaining new insights every time I listen in on their teachings."
