MindRest on Zoom is a soulful immersion of yoga, introspection and sweet rest at the end of our weekends, accompanied by a beautiful playlist.
MindRest in March: Humble Warrior
March in Nature is about the arrival of Spring, the greening of the fields, the fertility of the soil, planting seeds and welcoming new growth. Nature makes no mistakes - that includes us. We are invited to prepare our own kind of soil - our physical, mental and emotional vessel - for new beginnings.
In most pagan traditions, which formed the base of contemporary religion, this is a time of fast. The fast is not just about the food and stimulants we put in our bodies. It is also about our circumstances, the space we live in, the thoughts we entertain and the emotions that we indulge in. In all these areas, the principle is simple - less is more.
I invite you on the mat for a month of fast in our sadhana. We will explore and deepen into the same Humble Warrior sequence over and over again, exploring the depth that comes with simplicity. We will build courage to grow and openness not to know.

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.
