About the program

A three phase journey

The program follows the Daring to Rest Method
and unfolds in three phases:

Day 1-4, The Rest Phase: connecting to your body & recognizing physical exhaustion

Day 5-8, The Release Phase: awareness of mental and emotional exhaustion & foster your intuition

Day 9-12, The Rise Phase: connecting to our inner knowing & rising up rested

The flow of the journey

12 Days of Rest-mas is a self-directed, at home experience. The program is released on December 10th designed for you to finish by the solstice. However you can begin whenever and take as much time as needed to complete. I am here to support you throughout.

Cultivate presence with a brief gentle somatic movement practice and then rest each day with a short 15-20 minute rest practice.

Days 4, 8 and 12 feature longer (approximately 35 minutes) full length yoga nidra meditations.

The course is delivered via downloadable audio files; meaning you can save and take them wherever life takes you. All content is yours to keep forever.

* This program will run inclusively from December 10 through January 31st. Please download all content by this date.
