Simply Rest

​120 minutes of deep rest through restorative yoga, reiki, a sound bath, and reflection.

​Pause, listen, and restore

​In a world that moves fast, Simply Rest is an invitation to pause and reset, as we come towards the end of the year.

​Through restorative yoga, reiki, a sound bath, and guided reflection, this experience offers deep rest and a return to your body’s natural rhythm. It’s a space to listen—to the whispers of your body, the quiet within, and the call to slow down. Come ready to simply rest.

​POV

​You arrive early to unwind and savour Fleur de Femme tea. Nestled into bolsters, pillows, and blankets, you melt into restorative yoga poses as Reiki’s gentle energy flows through you. Soft rainstick sounds and a swinging chime lull your mind into deep rest. And in the final moments, you share a tender conversation—first with your body, then in the warmth of community.

​Your body will thank you for:

• ​Shifting from stress mode to deep relaxation, supporting nervous system regulation

• ​Clearing stagnant energy and restore energetic balance

• ​Improving sleep, mental clarity, and emotional well-being

• ​Reconnecting with its wisdom and innate capacity to heal

​This intimate session is best for:

• ​Anyone seeking deep relaxation and a break from the demands of daily life

• ​Individuals looking to reconnect with their body and its natural rhythm

• ​Those experiencing stress, anxiety, or burnout and needing a reset

• ​People interested in exploring holistic practices like restorative yoga, reiki, and sound therapy

• ​Anyone wishing to improve their mental clarity, sleep quality, and emotional well-being
