Why daring to rest?
Deep rest provides us a sense of freedom and presence in a world that doesn’t feel certain and solid. While studies have shown that the form of sleep meditation we teach, known as yoga nidra, can help you manage symptoms of insomnia, depression, anxiety and more, at Daring to Rest we also know that this gentle ancient yogic sleep practice can help us be in the present moment, befriend our pain and suffering, and remember who we truly are. In our culture today, where rest is seen as lazy, weak and unproductive, it’s daring to give yourself permission to lie down and wake up to more wisdom and well-being.
