Learning how to radically rest can help boost physical health, develop stronger emotional resilience, and even change the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us. In this book, Mel Skinner introduces the nine principles and the yoga practices that form Radical Rest, and explores how symptoms of depression, anxiety, addiction, and more can be supported with these practices. The principles provide the foundation and guidelines, while the practices give us an embodied way of understanding and exploring the principles through the felt experience of slowing down. This is an invitation to move toward stillness, and to discover a life more peaceful, contented, and joyful.

Mel Skinner is a yoga teacher, reflexologist, writer and a lover of yoga, particularly restorative yoga and yoga nidra. She became a qualified yoga teacher in 2014, and launched into intensive study, both with a number of skilled and inspirational teachers and alone with a yoga mat and plenty of books. In that time she discovered more about herself and became aware of the link between mental and physical wellbeing and the unresolved grief of losing one’s caregivers and home. She learnt a new way to listen to her body, and discovered the joy that comes from dwelling deep within slow time.
