Rest and Digest

Led by Turi Hetherington

This is a short practice of sensing the body as a way of activating the relaxation response. Tension can build up in the body without us even noticing. As we bring kind, gentle attention to the body and breath, tension may naturally dissolve and reveal a sense of underlying ease and well-being.

As a yoga instructor and holistic health coach, Turi (she/her) helps individuals develop strength, flexibility, and balance in body and mind. She is especially drawn to the quieting practices of gentle yoga and meditation to reduce stress and tension in the body, find the quiet place behind the busy thinking mind, and calm and soothe the nervous system. She enjoys integrating the ancient practices with modern-day science to help individuals on their healing journey connect with their essential nature of wholeness, peace, and ease. 

Turi is a LYB-certified instructor and serves on the board of her local Concussion Resource Center. Her other trainings and certifications include E-RYT200, RYT500 and YACEP, Heart of Sound: Mantra and Nada Yoga certified, iRest® Yoga Nidra Level 2 Teacher, and Holistic Health Coach. In addition, she is currently pursuing iRest full certification and a 300-hr Meditation Teacher Training through Mind Oasis.
