Marcela Iglesias


Certified Daring to Rest Facilitator

Certified: 2019

Sacramento, California

Marcela combines storytelling with Daring to Rest Yoga Nidra meditation to help women get deep restorative and nourishing rest. Having raised three (now adult!) children as a single working mother, she is well aware of how daily stressors erode our health and wellbeing. She now focuses her work helping women find a refuge for their exhausted selves through archetypal stories, Daring to Rest yoga nidra, and related mindfulness-based methods.

Marcela caters to women who are building and rebuilding their lives — teaching nourishing practices that allow women to rest their way to wellbeing. She knows that well-rested women are capable of dropping old stories and authoring their own authentic one.

Marcela, who is an attorney and a former corporate executive and university president, is an educator at heart. She is a yoga teacher, LifeForce Yoga Practitioner - II, has completed Duke University Integrative Yoga for Seniors Professional Training, and is an Archetypal and Cross Cultural Studies Institute (Dr. Pinkola Estès) trained facilitator. Marcela offers classes, workshops and programs both online and in-person.


Daring to Rest is Freedom - it is a refuge for our exhausted selves - it allows us to rest deeply, to listen intensely and to reclaim our wild, wise selves.

“Daring to Rest is good medicine. It the most accessible form of meditation and it has a deeply rejuvenating and nourishing effect on the body, mind and soul. It will change your life!.”
