Resting into Self-Acceptance

Meditation Library - LoveYourBrain

Led by Kyla Pearce

In this meditation I’ll guide a practice focused on deepening the trust we have in ourselves. This is important because when we trust ourselves, we can more clearly see our value, and make the choices we need in order to thrive, including things we may want to change. This yoga nidra meditation will integrate all elements that we’ve been practicing - sensing our body and breath, witnessing thoughts, cultivating a heartfelt intention, and welcoming our experience as it is - to bring together all the skills you’ve developed during this series.

Kyla (she/her) serves as the Senior Director of Programs and Research, overseeing the design, implementation, and evaluation of LoveYourBrain programs on a large scale. By turning inward through mindfulness, Kyla believes we learn to be with our whole selves with greater compassion, which is fundamental to wellbeing and inspiring positive social change. Kyla has blended her expertise as a yoga and mindfulness teacher and practitioner, researcher, and advocate to develop evidence-based, TBI-centered yoga and meditation curricula, which she trains yoga teachers and clinicians to deliver in clinical, community, and online settings. She recently completed a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Dartmouth College investigating the impact of yoga and meditation for people with neurological conditions, and has published broadly on this topic. She has been part of the Pearce family for years, and, following Kevin's accident, played an integral role in the launch of LoveYourBrain.
