Ideas to Design Your Own Rest Event

Let’s dream big together!

  • Gather your favorite women to rest together. Offering can include 30-60 minutes of yoga nidra, music, gentle or active yoga, journal prompts, rest circle reflection time, tea, snacks, candlelight and more. Together we will design a “sleep under” party that your group would enjoy most!

  • Grab your mom friends and get together to deeply rest. You might kick off an evening together with rest or end an afternoon of adventure with rest. Offering can include 30-60 minutes of yoga nidra, music, gentle or active yoga, journal prompts, rest circle reflection time, tea, snacks, candlelight and more. Together we’ll dream big and get the mom’s in your life some much needed rest!

  • Balancing rest & play is vital to our well being. Let’s add rest to a playful event in your life. For example, after your group bike ride, we’ll rest. After a visit to a fun museum, we’ll lay down. After learning a new craft, we’ll close our eyes. Rest offering can include 30-60 minutes of yoga nidra, music, yoga, journal prompts, rest circle reflection time, tea, snacks, candlelight and more. Together we’ll design a balance of rest & play.

  • Sometimes all we want for our birthday is some rest! Let’s get your favorite people together for a rest party! Rest can stand alone or be added to a playful gathering or integrated in to a birthday weekend! Rest offering can include 30-60 minutes of yoga nidra, music, yoga, journal prompts, rest circle reflection time, tea, snacks, candlelight and more. Together we’ll design a dreamy birthday!

  • Let’s get your favorite people together for a rested reunion! Family, college friends, old colleagues, whoever you want to reunite with! Rest can stand alone or be added to a playful gathering or integrated in to a reunion weekend! Rest offering can include 30-60 minutes of yoga nidra, music, yoga, journal prompts, rest circle reflection time, tea, snacks, candlelight and more. Together we’ll design a reunion to remember.

  • Rest is radical when there is so much work to be done. Those of us stepping into changemaker and activists roles need rest. This can be offered as a stand alone class or added to another event (example: workshop, fair, professional development). Rest offering can include 30-60 minutes of yoga nidra, music, gentle or active yoga, journal prompts, rest circle reflection time, tea, snacks, candlelight and more. Let’s take care of those who are taking care of our communities!

  • Education is a meaningful and exhausting career. Educators need rest to recover from the demanding and creative work they do everyday. This can be offered as a stand alone class or added to another event (example: workshop, fair, professional development). Rest offering can include 30-60 minutes of yoga nidra, music, gentle or active yoga, journal prompts, rest circle reflection time, tea, snacks, candlelight and more. Let’s take care of those who teach us & our children.

  • The ideas are endless. Let’s create the rest event of your dreams!

  • The workplace does not always support rest. Yet, when we rest, we do our best work! Daring to Rest inspired rest workshops designed for professional settings. This can be designed as a stand alone event or integrated into current programming and presentations. Examples include: adding rest elements to a team event or presentation, leading a yoga nidra class during professional development, teaching about exhaustion, burnout and the importance of rest. Let’s see how rest can help your business thrive!

Let's start designing!

  • "It was fantastic. I had integrated rest into my life a few months back, but these days were very meaningful and felt like the practice was deeper and more intentional. Ali is my inspiration to rest. I love the fact that she was able to share this practice virtually, and how much she cared about all of us resting and connecting during this practice. I can't wait for the next opportunity to rest together!"

    Mary, reflections on Rest with Ali offering

  • "Ali is a wonderful facilitator for helping exhausted people come back to their bodies, connect with a deeper part of themselves, and to rest! I'm truly grateful for the experience of the rest circle and hope to participate in future ones again soon."

    Carol, reflecting on Rest with Ali offering

  • "It was the most wonderful afternoon. It’s like a time warp, I have zero concept of time when I’m in it. That never happens to me, even in yoga classes I’m thinking about time. So magical!!!!"

Still have questions? Here are some FAQs!

I'm ready to learn more!

  • Location is determined by you. If you want Ali to rent a space for you, that may be possible at an additional fee.

  • We can design your rest event to be in person or online!

  • Price is unique to each event. In most cases there will either be a one time fee set or a charge per participant.

  • Yoga nidra is a guided sleep-based meditation that leads us into a deep state of consciousness.
    It is yogic sleep.
    It is a delicious nap.
