Rest to Awaken with Dr. Gail Parker

Duration: 90 minutes

Between the global Covid-19 pandemic and the global awakening to racial violence and injustice, we are in the midst of evolutionary change. This is a pivotal time in our transformation as conscious beings. Events that are unfolding, and our responses to them, have the potential to change each of us for the better. We need rest now more than ever, yet it is no wonder that our sleep patterns are more disturbed than ever before. But what if our sleep disturbances are not sleep disorders, but are actually wake-up calls that invite us into deeper levels of contemplation and awareness that, if heeded, can be transformative. In this session led by author, psychologist, and yoga teacher Dr. Gail Parker, you’ll learn how to work with your sleep disturbances in ways that support rest, transformation, growth, and well-being.

Yoga2Sleep Rx: Sleep as a Spiritual Practice with Pamela Stokes Eggleston

Available on demand.
Duration: 90 minutes

When it comes to sleep disturbances and insomnia, often the focus is on the body’s response to lack of sleep, including stress, moral injury, foggy mind, and anxiety. But once you uncover the spiritual nature of sleep as outlined in ancient yogic texts—including Bhagavad Gita, Yoga Sutras, and Upanishads—you can begin to use this wisdom to practice self-inquiry, self-reflection, and soul work, which directly coincide with the quality of our sleep and rest. Pamela Stokes Eggleston, director of Yoga2Sleep and co-founder of Retreat to Spirit, will guide you to reframe sleep as a contemplative practice that should be revered: The therapeutics of yoga can help you achieve this.
