Movement to Rest

The balance between rest, play and work is important to our lives and sometimes can tilt more towards work than rest and play. In modern society work and striving is recognized as an achievement where rest is seen as a privilege, instead of something necessary to our wellbeing. 

Rest is Important. Rest and play support creativity, our ability to work smarter and it gives us the energy to work and play harder. Rest practices address symptoms of stress, anxiety and burnout, and improve our general wellbeing. So we offer you a time to Rest. In a 90minute practice we will move through a gentle grounding flow in seated and reclined forms. As we flow, we transition towards a resting form to practice Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra is also known as guided rest. Kathleen’s Yoga Nidra practice is based in the IRest program, which includes progressive muscle relaxation, guided visualization and breathing practice.

What to bring

Comfortable warm clothing and cozy socks. If you would like to bring your own blanket or eye pillow you are welcome to. The purpose of the practice is to be as comfortable as possible, so you want to be warm and comfy.

Movement to Rest is offered in English and can be followed either live at Ananda or online from your own house.
