As a yoga instructor, intuitive astrologer, and sound practitioner, I know firsthand how life’s demands can take a toll on your body and spirit. When I was raising my children in my 20s and 30s, I didn’t believe rest was an option. Between working full-time, managing a family, and running my kids to different sports events, the only time I had for myself was working out—lifting weights. While it gave me a brief escape, it wasn’t restorative.
By the time I reached 40, my body gave out, physically and mentally. I realized I needed to slow down, but even then, I gravitated toward aggressive styles of yoga. It wasn’t until I took my first Yin and Restorative class that I understood how much my body needed rest to regulate and gain clarity. That experience transformed me, and now it’s embedded in the yoga I practice and teach.
In the words of Octavia F. Raheem, “Rest is not a place of weakness, but rather a place of power and restoration.” This belief inspired me to create a space where we can collectively embrace the rest we deserve.
That’s why, at the age of 46, I’ve designed the *Rest and Restore* retreat—a sanctuary for women, especially women of color, to pause, heal, and find renewal. Through mindfulness practices, restorative yoga, sound baths, and guided reflection, I aim to offer the rest I once didn’t think was possible. This retreat is about creating space for you to reconnect with yourself because you deserve to nurture the one person who gives so much: *you*.
