Michelle McAlpin

I am an experienced practitioner (13 years) and teacher (9 years) of yoga nidra. I find iRest a valuable tool for working with myself, and others in the communities of which I am part.

Currently I am offering private sessions of iRest and planning for groups (6-8 weeks in length, closed). If you are interested in group iRest in the Asheville area, please contact me and we can see what is possible. I am also available for one time workshops on iRest. Such workshops can range in length from three hours to two days. Please contact me to discuss scheduling and costs.

I am a graduate of Naropa's master's program in Contemplative Psychotherapy, a seasoned yoga teacher, and a Gendai Reiki Shihan in the lineage of Hiroshi Doi. All of these experiences of learning to live a life at ease and helping others to do so are part of me and so of my teaching of iRest.

I also offer pro bono iRest classes, Reiki treatments, and Reiki trainings to community activists such as organizers, protesters, and street medics.
