Rhythm in Rest

As part of Soft Girl Soft Life's #30SoftChallenge campaign, we're curating the opportunity for you to reset your mind and body with an evening of deep rest, joyful cardio dance, and a healing sound bath.

• Activity 1: High-energy cardio dance to release stress and move your body.
• Activity 2: Gentle stretching to slow your heart rate.
• Activity 3: Immersive sound bath with singing bowls to calm your nervous system.

What to Expect

• Welcome: Arrive, settle in, and connect with other participants through curated activities.
• The Movement: Follow fun, easy dance moves to uplifting music. No dance experience is needed.
• The Transition: Cool down with slow stretches to prepare for stillness.
• The Sound Bath: Lie back on your mat while soothing sound vibrations wash over you.

What to Bring

• A cozy blanket and a small pillow
• A yoga mat (optional)
• A water bottle to stay hydrated
• Loose, comfortable clothing for movement and lying down

About the #30SoftChallenge Campaign

The 30 Soft Challenge is your invitation to stop putting ourselves at the bottom of the list. For 30 days, we're choosing one intentional act of self-care each day — creating space to listen to what we need and practice making self-care a part of our everyday lives. There are no 5 AM wake-ups, rigid routines or rules to follow. Rest. Move your body. Call someone you love. Set a boundary. Journal. Go outside. Make something. Say no. Do absolutely nothing. You define what self-care looks like for you. While Soft Girl Soft Life centers women in our broader community and programming, the 30 Soft Challenge is open to everyone because we believe everyone deserves space to slow down, care for themselves, and choose softness.

Dates: September 1–30, 2026

The practice: One intentional act of self-care each day of September
