Rest and De-stress

A space to slow down. Rest Deeply. Come home to yourself.

At Elska Yoga , rest is not seen as a luxury or something to be earned, it is a vital part of sustainable wellbeing.

Many people come feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their bodies. Often, rest feels difficult. The body may slow down, but the mind stays busy. Guilt can arise. Stillness can feel unfamiliar or unsafe.

Our Rest & De-Stress offerings are grounded in a nervous system aware approach, supporting your body and mind to move out of constant “doing” and into a state of rest, regulation, and recovery.

Through gentle, accessible practices, we create space to soften the body, calm the mind, and support your nervous system to feel safer and more settled, so you can meet daily life with greater ease, capacity, and resilience.

Individual Rest & De-stress experience in the Rest Nest

A one hour, one-to-one Rest & De-Stress experience, tailored entirely to you.

These individual sessions are ideal if you’re experiencing stress, burnout, anxiety, overwhelm, or simply feel disconnected from your capacity to rest. Each session is guided by your nervous system, your energy levels, and what you need on that day.

Gentle, grounding movement
Breath awareness and nervous system regulation
Reiki
Trauma informed, compassionate support

This is a space where there is no pressure to achieve or perform, just permission to slow down, feel supported, and restore balance.
