the monthly rest ritual

a monthly pause. A space to slow down, soften and come back to yourself.

This isn’t just a yoga class, or another thing to do. It’s a space to stop doing.

Each month, we gather for a guided practice of rest and mindfulness: a blend of slow movement, stillness, and honest reflection.

Before we meet, you’ll receive gentle off‑the‑mat invitations and reflection prompts to help you ease out of the noise of daily life and into something quieter.

These touchpoints are part of the ritual itself, making this an experience that extends beyond the live session.

This is your space to practice rest not as a performance, but as a conversation with yourself.

Next rest ritual:

june 28th. 90 minutes. Online via Google Meet.
Sliding‑scale: $35-$50 CAD. recording included.

Rest isn’t always easy. Sometimes it feels uncomfortable, unfamiliar, or even a little guilt‑soaked, especially in a world that celebrates constant doing and pushes us to hustle.

So many of us move through life carrying more than we realize - tension, expectations, responsibility, care.

It sits quietly in the body until we finally pause long enough to feel it.

The Rest Ritual is a place to practice a different way of being.

A place to lay some of that down, breathe a little deeper, and connect to yourself aagin.

A place to remember that rest isn’t something you earn, it’s something you practice returning to.


what this is

A 90-minute monthly ritual intentionally crafted to help you:

  • Exhale more deeply (physically, emotionally, spiritually)

  • Reconnect to your body and breath

  • Explore what rest feels like for you

  • Build a relationship with stillness and slowness over time

We’ll move, breathe, pause, and listen.

Not to fix anything or to optimize you to do more or be more efficient, but to meet and care for yourself, deeply.

what’s included

The Monthly Rest Ritual unfolds gently across three phases, a rhythm that supports you before, during, and after we meet. This is more than a single session, it’s a full monthly experience.

✧ Before we meet (1 week prior)

You’ll receive a few intentional touchpoints: a reflection theme, journal prompt, maybe a short audio or breath practice.

They’re not homework. They’re small invitations to start softening into rest, one moment at a time.

✧ The live ritual (90 minutes)

Each ritual includes:

  • Guided slow movement through yin and restorative yoga (no experience required)

  • Restorative, supported shapes

  • A mindfulness meditation and intimate intuitive rest practice

  • Space to quietly journal or integrate

✧ after the ritual

You’ll receive the full replay, playlist and your reflection prompts to return to at anytime.

Many people revisit the recording when they need another pocket of rest later in the month.

It’s not about doing rest “right.” It’s about noticing what unfolds when you give yourself permission to pause.

This ritual is for you if you’re:

  • Craving stillness but unsure how to actually slow down

  • Feeling stretched thin, overextended, or quietly overwhelmed

  • Tired of being told to “just relax”

  • Longing for a deeper sense of rest that meets you where you truly are

  • Curious about building a more honest, easeful relationship with your body

  • Ready to explore rest in a way that doesn’t require perfection, performance, or pretending

This space is especially supportive if you move through the world holding a lot - emotionally, mentally, or energetically - and want a place to lay some of that down.

No prior experience is required.
open to beginners and regular practitioners alike.

Just bring your openness to soften, to breathe deeply and to move slowly.

 what people are saying about the rest ritual

I hold these reflections with so much gratitude <3
They’re reminders of what can open when we slow down together.

Each ritual feels a little different, but the common thread is this:
people leave feeling more connected, more grounded and more at ease than they arrived with.
