Complete rest is medicine for the modern world

TESTIMONIALS
“The Beyond Rest weekend immersion is a balm and an antidote, for the fluttering, hurried experience many of us call a life. It gave space to calm the heart, and clear the clutter from our minds, so that the ease and spaciousness underneath can be revealed.
One of my teachers calls this ‘God’s gap’; the space in which the extraordinary can reside within very ordinary moments. Irene’s presence, wisdom, and rich experience as a facilitator and teacher of yogic practices is potent, and so grounding. She harnesses the power of quiet spaces, while keeping our awareness engaged with the content and the rich somatic practices. It brought about an atmosphere of sincere connection and contemplation - one which I know each participant brought out into their lives and the world they touch.
The pace of each day was considered, and unrushed; ample time was left to digest the learnings, and also be nourished by delicious Ayurvedic meals. Left feeling a sense of rejuvenation, with the inspiration to lean even deeper into the wisdom of rest. A treasured experience I still hold close.”

The 3 days of beyond rest took me into catharsis, deep rest followed by rejuvenation. The space held by Irene and the participants felt so safe that every part of me felt seen and supported allowing for the release I needed but did not know was on the surface. The practices were gentle yet so potent. I took away some incredible learnings as a student of yoga and deepened my understanding of how to truely support my students towards transformation as a teacher. I am forever grateful for this short yet powerful bout of self care I offered myself and a year later am still benefiting from.
