: What is Slow Rest :

Slow rest is the practice of deep restorative relaxation. 

Slow rest is a unique fusion of gentle seated body awareness movements, deep rest postures (restorative yoga), calming breath practices, restorative rituals and therapeutic touch (reiki).

All deep rest shapes are done laying on your mat with the support of bolsters, blankets, eye pillows and weighted sandbags to help the body feel safe and supported so the relaxation process can begin.

Weighting the body is a delicious key element of slow rest, as it helps to profoundly calm the body. Settle restless and agitated energy. Support nervous system repair.

Additionally, you’ll be energetically supported by Carole, with aromatherapy, reiki, healing touch, flower essences, botanical sprays, and cbg + cbd gummies to fortify your overall well being.
