Rest Is A Skill

Episode description
Rest isn't something you earn.
It's a skill.
In this episode of The Modern Yin Podcast, we explore why so many women over 40 find it difficult to slow down, why rest often feels uncomfortable, and how nervous system regulation changes our relationship with stillness.
We'll discuss the conditioning that teaches women to prioritize productivity over recovery, the connection between safety and rest, and why practices like Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra help retrain the nervous system to soften and restore.
Because rest isn't laziness.
It's a skill worth practicing.
