It’s been a month since my second dash of COVID, and I am having to be very patient and slow, and continue to pace myself and continue to rest. Anytime I exercise it sets me back. I am so thankful to have many yoga tools […]
A Venice Souvenir
I offer this recording to you made early one morning in Venice during my recent travels. This is a simple Yoga Nidra practice designed for busy times, or during travel, that will take just 20 minutes. It offers a settling and grounding, body relaxation and […]
Nest for Rest
Women gathered, rested and connected as I guided a sequence based on the nest painting I made and this beautiful poem by Mary Oliver. It was such a potent gathering and felt like we were laying down the foundations for a year of tuning into […]

When you begin practicing Constructive Rest Position (CRP) you might find that you are so tired that you more or less fall asleep whilst listening to the audio guide from part 1. With practice and once sleep debt has been addressed, Constructive Rest is a good […]
