As we move into a new quarter, there’s no better time than now to slow down and reflect on our journey. While January is often seen as the season of “new,” I believe it’s more of a continuation of the previous year—a chance to go deeper. It’s a time to build on the lessons we’ve learned, honor the habits that sustain us, and reflect in stillness to help us grow.
This is also the perfect opportunity to embrace true rest—not just the kind of rest where we flip through TV channels or mindlessly scroll on our phones, but the kind of rest that allows us to recharge at a soul-deep level. This is the rest that invites clarity, inspiration, and balance into our lives.
Q1 Focus: The 40-Day Rest & Meditation Practice
For the next three months, I invite you to join me in a simple yet transformative practice: a 40-day rest & meditation challenge.
This practice is grounded in three restorative poses that can be done individually or in sequence, paired with intentional breathwork or a short mantra. It’s all about setting aside 11 minutes each day to recalibrate, regain focus, and reset your body and mind. This daily commitment helps release built-up tension, soothe your nervous system, and open space for new ideas.
The 3 Poses:
Wide Leg Forward Bend (Prasarita Padottanasana) – Releases tension in the legs and lower back.
Reclining Bound Angle Pose (Supta Baddha Konasana) – Opens the hips and invites deep relaxation.
Savasana – The ultimate pose of stillness and surrender.
Why 11 minutes? In many yoga traditions, 11 minutes is the ideal time to create subtle yet profound shifts in your energy and emotional state. It’s enough time for the body and mind to reset without being overwhelming.
This is your invitation to carve out a small but powerful moment of peace each day—no need for fancy equipment or a huge time commitment. It’s about making space for yourself in the busy rhythm of life.
Creating Space for Creativity & Reflection
True rest goes beyond the body—it creates a sanctuary for the mind. When we allow ourselves to pause and reflect, we create space for new ideas and creativity to flourish. That’s why I’m excited to announce the launch of the Still Point Sanctuary—a membership designed to guide you back to yourself through restorative yoga, meditation, and mindfulness.

Whether you’re ready to dive deeper into your practice or just need a place to pause and reflect, the Still Point Sanctuary will give you the tools to reset your nervous system, open space for creativity, and reignite your sense of purpose.
