REST

“We must believe we are worthy of rest. We don’t have to earn it. It is our birthright. It is one of our most ancient and primal needs.” ― Tricia Hersey

Yoga Nidra is a restorative South Asian healing practice rooted in tantra, popularized by Swami Satyananda Ji. Yoga Nidra supports relaxation, enhances mental clarity, and helps us connect to our true nature. Clinical trials show Yoga Nidra can reduce chronic pain, regulate the nervous system, and alleviate stress.

In a world that profits from our exhaustion, Yoga Nidra is quiet rebellion.

BREATH

“Pranayama is to yoga as the heart is to the human body.” – BKS Iyengar

Pranayama is a yogic practice of controlling and regulating the breath to expand and enhance the vital energy (prana) within the body. The techniques also originate in South Asia and have been shown to support emotional well-being, reduce insomnia, enhance lung function, and prepare the mind for deeper concentration and awareness.

Our breath is a vehicle for making the unconscious conscious.

Of note:

In integrative therapy and Rest+Breath offerings, Preeti weaves modern psychology with healing modalities from South Asian culture that, in the West, have often been appropriated and distorted.

These practices have a vibrant but complicated history that includes the erasure of Indigenous (Adivasi) contributions to healing and a gatekeeping of practices from caste-oppressed peoples.

Vidya Integrative Therapy offerings are a direct response to those who seek to weaponize, politicize, and appropriate practices intended to heal and create readiness for communion with divine consciousness. They are open to all.
