Summary

Restoring your body, mind, and spirit amid change is an act of courage, empowerment, and hope. This warm, powerful guide will help you honor the changes and spaces in your life with purposeful rest and reflection.

If you're trying to push your way through endings, beginnings, and places of uncertainty, only to find yourself more confused, disconnected, tired, and uncertain, this book will hold and fortify you. Yoga teacher and activist Octavia Raheem offers us the motivation and guidance we need to restore ourselves in the midst of all sorts of change. Change in our lives — whether it be welcome, joyful, challenging, or more subtle — presents us with the opportunity to pause and gather our energy to work with whatever lies ahead.

Drawing wisdom from yoga philosophy and her many years of teaching experience, Raheem offers us the motivation and guidance we need to restore ourselves in the midst of all types of change. She gives us three simple restorative yoga poses (savasana, side lying pose, and child’s pose), and offers short teachings, reflections, and practices to see us through times of ending, beginning, and liminal/transitional space. She shows us how slowing down, stillness, and deeper connection to our own transitions empower us to move through collective shifts with more grace — and what it means to navigate shifts and change with presence and courage.

so glad I listened to this on audio

this book is full of so much wisdom and I know I will come back to it again and again. also I am SO glad that the author read it - not only is her voice gorgeous just purely as an audio treat, she infuses her intent and love into it. this was a joy. I read it on the last day of 2022, a hard year, and I feel better prepared and supported for what comes next.
