In today’s world, slowing down can feel impossible. We push ourselves to do more, achieve more, and prove our worth through productivity—often at the expense of our well-being. Yet true healing, creativity, and clarity arise not from pushing harder but from allowing ourselves to rest.
This workshop is an invitation to step away from the noise and reclaim rest as a sacred, life-giving practice. Together, we will explore how rest supports the nervous system, why so many of us resist it, and how to begin welcoming rest back into daily life.
Through a guided Yoga Nidra meditation, you will experience deep nervous system restoration and a felt sense of spaciousness in body and mind. Following the practice, you’ll be guided through journaling and reflection to create a personalized 30-day self-care plan—a simple, nourishing rhythm you can carry forward after the workshop ends.
You’ll leave with:
-A deeper understanding of why rest is essential for healing and balance
-A powerful 30-minute Yoga Nidra practice you can return to again and again
-A customized 30-day self-care plan designed to meet you where you are
-Tools to help you sustain rest as medicine for your body, mind, and soul

No prior yoga or meditation experience is required. All are welcome.
Facilitator: This workshop is led by Dawn Cannon, trauma-informed yoga teacher, meditation guide, retreat leader, and CEO (Chief Energy Officer) of The Creatrix. Dawn specializes in guiding others to reclaim rest, clarity, and soul-led vision through practices rooted in compassion and awareness.
