MOVEMENT, STILLNESS AND SELF-INQUIRY
MindRest on Zoom is a soulful immersion of yoga, introspection and sweet sweet rest at the end of our weekends. On April 17, we will gather for a sweet Easter & Full moon celebration of dying to our old identifications and “resurrecting” as what remains.

What to expect?
MOVE: We will start with a well-rounded yoga practice to get into our bodies and shift from doing to being mode. The aim of this practice is to help us embody the different parts of the inquiry.
INQUIRE: Every week, there will be a different suggestion for a meditative self-inquiry. It helps us investigate different parts of ourselves. Sometimes, this process is pleasant and others - not so pleasant, but invariably rewarding.
REST: In a longer than usual guided relaxation called yoga nidra, we will let our conscious minds rest and open to experience all that is.
What do you need for this online practice?
A yoga mat (if you have one but not essential), a pen and paper, a blanket and anything else that might support your seat and make you feel extra comfortable.
What is MindRest? (in normal times)
MindRest is a series of sound-infused evenings of yoga, mindfulness and deep relaxation. Together, we create an oasis of stillness, nourishment and deep rest from our busy lives and minds.
Each workshop will explore a different inquiry into our nature, following a familiar structure: MOVE your body through soulful and accessible yoga, STILL your mind through sound bath, mindfulness and guided relaxation, INQUIRE deeply through free-flow journalling and let true insight arise from this stillness.
MindRest is not about teaching you anything. In fact, I have nothing to teach you and all knowledge can be forgotten here. Together we create a soothing cocoon of deep and healing relaxation so that you can uncover your own inner wisdom - a 'MindRest' where the body can open, the conscious mind can let go and insights can arise from within. You are your own compassionate teacher.
Love.
