Rest + Reset
It is time to get back to the way you’re supposed to feel.
Explore how yoga and the breath can help regulate your nervous system, manage stress, ease anxiety, manage emotions, and create resilience in the body.
Rest + Reset yoga creates balance in your body and mind. I know this based on personal experience.
Even though, “I know better,” I had my own burnout in 2019 as a content creator working on an impossible project.
Dealing day after day with gruelling, pointless meetings, having “mind-fuck” experiences at work and trying to manage my family situation as a single mom, I felt tired, uninspired, and stuck.
I also felt like, I couldn’t take time off, because my project was about to take off.
Then I crashed.
Complete exhaustion in body, mind, and my soul where I could not even read two lines of an email. It was then that I discovered yoga, which helped me to get out of the burnout state.
Now, I use yoga and breathwork to keep me balanced, so I never head back into burnout again. It was truly a terrible experience.
This weekly Rest + Reset class allows us to practice and co-regulate together, creating safety within the body.
Feeling SAFE is EVERYTHING when it comes to health.
Managing cortisol and insulin are the keys, and I will teach you how every week, step by step.
No overwhelm. No pretzel poses.
Gentle, slow and calming is the intention.

Why yoga?
The purpose of yoga is to calm and quieten the mind.
Yoga is not about doing strong physical exercise or doing a handstand. Yoga is about how you can release tension, which allows energy to flow, creating vitality in the body.
If you are someone who is “doing” all the time, this type of REST + RESET yoga will help you to reconnect with your body and start to build a healthy relationship with yourself.
What is the benefit?
Practicing this kind of yoga, shifts the nervous system from fight and flight into rest, digest and healing tones. This allows us to heal and start to gain more energy, day by day.
We want to get the body’s out of constant alert, which is exhausting, and encourage the relaxation response (Herbert Benson, 1975.)
The practice teaches us to listen to what our body needs.
We learn to honour the body’s need for food, rest, and loving connection.
Physically we explore the areas in the body where stress is typically held, including the jaw, psoas muscles, diaphragm, lungs, shoulders, and rib cage.
Once we can experience this stress being held, we can move intentionally, breathe, and attempt to release the tension.
Key concepts that support REST + RESET:
Acceptance
Self-regulation
Body, mind, heart connection
Self-compassion
Self-care
How to build resilience
Deep rest and true nourishment
