Day 8 - HERE This one is for everyone who is tired of feeling responsible for managing everything... including their own emotions. Today's practice gives you permission to stop fixing. Stop managing. Stop performing okayness. Just for right now, you don't have to carry it. You can simply be. Emotional exhaustion deserves a real answer. The Peace in Rest Program goes deep into emotional integration, nervous system healing, and the Yoga Nidra practices that support lasting restoration.

Life handed me an unexpected lesson in my own medicine this week. After yoga class, I fell riding home and broke and twisted my pinky finger. I'm now in a fairly dramatic hand brace, and I've got a specialist visit next week — fingers crossed (the ones that still bend) that we can avoid a full cast. So here's the irony I'm sitting with: I teach rest and restoration for a living, and now my body is asking me to actually practice it. I'm leaning on Yoga Nidra to help my nervous system settle, support the healing, and keep me company through the discomfort. It's humbling and kind of beautiful to be on the receiving end of the work. A practical note: Tidal Hearts Yoga Nidra won't release tonight as planned. The fall caused some technical difficulties on my end, so I'm giving it the time it needs to come out right. Thank you for your patience. If you've got a prayer or a good thought to spare, I'll happily take it. 🙏

Day 5 - HERE Halfway. Notice that... You've given yourself five days of real rest. That is actually radical for most of us. Today is about finding your center again... that place inside you that doesn't get swept away even when life is loud.

As we move into exploring The Rooted One, the first of the Five States of Rest (LIVE experience with @Ayla Nova this week) I’ve been thinking about a book that found me at a time when I was learning that rootedness and belonging were relationships to rebuild with myself. The book is: 📖 If Women Rose Rooted by Sharon Blackie 📖 This isn’t an easy book to summarize because it moves like myth, memoir, nature writing, and philosophy all at once. It weaves together Celtic mythology, the Heroine’s Journey, ecology, women’s stories, grief, identity, and the question: What happens when we become disconnected from ourselves, our bodies, our communities, and the land? And perhaps more importantly… What becomes possible when we return? The book suggests that rootedness is in fact a relationship. To place, community and our ancestry. To the natural world and her cycles. To the abandoned parts of ourselves. One line from the book that really 'took root' (hehe): “To change the world, we women need first to change ourselves – and then we need to change the stories we tell about who we are.”— Sharon Blackie It really reminded me of this Yoga Nidra journey we're all on and I thought I would share! Who is joining us on Thursday?🌳🌳🌳
