Description
Book SynopsisRadical rest can not only improve physical health, support mental wellbeing and increase emotional resilience but can even change the way we think about ourselves and the world around us. In Rest is Radical, Mel Skinner gives us nine principles which provide the foundation and guidelines to radical rest along with yoga practices that lead us to an embodied way of understanding the principles through the felt experience of slowing down. She explores how symptoms of depression, anxiety, addiction and more can be supported with the practices she shares. This is an invitation to move towards stillness, and in doing so discover a life more peaceful, contented and joyful.
