This Is Your Permission Slip to Rest 🛌
As we closed our 21 Days of Rest with Yoga Nidra on Sunday, I’ve been sitting with what has quietly emerged—not big declarations or dramatic shifts, but honest realizations about rest, permission, and self-trust.

I’ll be offering Open Your Heart: Sacred Self-Care for the Month of Love at Harmony Yoga Redondo Beach on February 7th at 5-7pm —a spacious, nourishing workshop of restorative yoga and Yoga Nidra for anyone longing to soften, rest, and reconnect.

[THREE] The Triple Goddess, 1980, by Susan Seddon Boulet.

Susan: “Three has been important for me always. I think three for me is balance . . . you know, if I arrange something I’ll always arrange three things instead of two because it just looks better. So I think that my internal balance is three.”

The number three has long been important for divinities and in religion: Ancient Egypt had several divine triads, including Osiris, Isis and Horus; in Christianity there’s the Father, Son and Holy ghost; the Norse have the three Norns, spinners of fate analogous to the Greek Moirai (Moerae); in Buddhism there’s the Triple Jewel (triratna) of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha; Hinduism has Brahmā, Vishnu and Shiva (the creator, preserver and destroyer).

The Triple Goddess consists of 3 aspects of the Great Goddess, often represented by maiden, mother and crone (wise woman). This is perhaps the original trinity. The Great Goddess is associated with the moon and the Triple Goddess represents three phases of the moon: waxing, full, waning.

The Gregorian New Year asks us to reset quickly, even though nature is still resting.
Seeds are underground.
Growth is happening quietly, in the dark.

So instead of rushing toward what’s next, this is a beautiful time to honor what has been.

I keep returning to this truth:

Rest is what allows intuition to speak.
Rest is what makes wise choices sustainable.

That is the heart of Rest to Rise a 21 day yoga Nidra journey online—not forcing clarity, but creating enough space for what’s next to emerge naturally.

As we move into the heart of the holiday season — a time that can feel tender, busy, emotional, and overstimulating — I want to offer you something different:

❄️ A permission slip to slow down.
❄️ A softer rhythm.
❄️ A way to stay connected to yourself rather than the swirl around you.

This season isn’t meant to be about rushing, over-giving, or running on empty.

Winter is the Doorway to Deeper Rest — a time when the earth teaches us to soften, to listen, and to regenerate.

And Yoga Nidra is one of the most powerful ways to enter that winter wisdom.

If you’re craving grounding, rhythm, deep rest, and a more intuitive start to 2026, I’d love to welcome you into Rest to Rise: 21 Days of Rest, beginning January 4th.
