Rest is essential. In rest we heal, gain powerful insights, and renew. When we rest, we awaken to who and what we are when we stop doing, going, performing, and trying to prove.
Each class in Octavia Raheem's restorative yoga series on Sounds True One begins in a seated position with simple breath work to connect us to our bodies. Focused movement on the ground with practices of Yin, Restorative (supported) postures, or deep relaxation to allowing the body, heart, and mind to settle.
As we settle and are supported we naturally gain deeper access to what is essential. We awaken to who and what we truly are beyond our mental chatter and busyness.
Octavia Raheem has received national attention for her work training yoga teachers and diversifying the yoga and wellness industry. Octavia’s work as a yoga professional focuses on practical tools to teach individuals how to manage stress, anxiety, and fatigue through restorative yoga, yoga nidra, and meditation in a way that is accessible to all levels/abilities, and restorative to the nervous system.
Octavia is also the author of Pause, Rest, Be: Stillness Practices for Courage During Times of Change and Gather. In her writing she invites her readers into a quiet contemplative place of inquiry, reflection, and deeper self-love much like she does in her yoga classes, workshops, immersions, and retreats. She uses and shares the tools that support her own sense of wellness, freedom, and expansion in the world: restorative yoga, writing, meditation, and Yoga Nidra to guide you toward living your best life!
