Daring to Rest: Reclaim Your Power with Yoga Nidra Rest Meditation Karen Brody

Who would you be if you were able to get enough rest? That's the question Karen Brody is asking women to explore in Daring to Rest

As 'worn-out' has become the default setting for women today, here’s a book to help women learn how to properly rest — not just allow for more downtime or inactivity, but find a place of true stillness. With the framework of yoga nidra, she guides women through a 40-day, 3-phase program (Rest, Release, Rise). Yoga nidra is a guided meditation done lying down that deeply relaxes the body and accesses the subconscious mind — where we can shift patterns that have been holding us back, keeping us exhausted, and unable to operate from our core selves. After this 40-day reboot, she teaches how to carry the effects of your practice into everyday life, so you don’t fall back into the cycle of worn-out exhaustion.
