How to make a Rest Nest at home

A blanket, a cushion and a quiet corner. Small things that tell your body it's safe to let go.

Your Rest Nest is simply the place you practise. The more inviting it is, the more easily you’ll return to it.

What you’ll need

A mat, rug or bed. A pillow under your head and another under your knees. A blanket, because your body cools as it relaxes. Something soft over your eyes. And, if they’d like to, your dog or cat.

Keep it simple, keep it the same each time, and let it become a little signal to your body that it’s time to rest.
