What is it about rest that makes it feel so hard? It’s like we’ve got to earn it, prove that we deserve it. And what if we had a different relationship with rest?

Emmie Rae is on a mission to change our relationship with REST. But this is a relationship that she herself has wrestled with over a number of years. Emma shares her drive and hustle approach to work and life, and how she resisted the urge to explore the value of deep rest…..even as a yoga teacher she didn’t want to be known for the so-called soft ‘yin’ yoga.

And yet she has found solace, recovery, and creativity in the value of rest that she is sharing this insight with others.

Emmie is a writer, yoga teacher, and founder of The Daily Rest, a digital membership site for prioritising rest and receptivity in the lives of vibrant, busy women. Based in Tokyo, her work is rooted in experiential learning, community, connection and finding beauty in the everyday.

I found this conversation equally challenging and opening, as a pathway to explore creativity and connection. I invite you to think about REST differently through the wisdom that comes from Emmie Rae.
