Rest before you need it. Read this again. Rest before you need it.

Because how often do you tell yourself
“I don’t have time.” “I’ll rest when I’ve got through this week, month, year.”

And before you know it, the candle has been burning at both ends for far too long.

Join me for the Art of Rest 2.5 hours of slowing down, exploring and resting on Saturday 26/09 at 3pm

My partner was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes just three months into our relationship, so it became a part of my life too. I learned alongside him.

I learned about the constant decisions, the highs and lows, the planning, the uncertainty and how much more there is to living with type 1 diabetes.

Then, through my yoga trainings, I started learning more about how yoga can influence us on a physiological, psychological and emotional level. I realised there are more ways I can support him beyond simply understanding what T1D is.

Over the years, that question has grown into something much bigger. I’ve become more interested in the parts of living with a chronic condition that are less tangible and how yoga can support.

The stress. The exhaustion. The emotional weight. Our relationship with our bodies. The need to constantly think ahead. The things that don’t necessarily show up in the numbers.

I’ll be sharing something really cool soon but if you are already hooked, be the first to know and join my waitlist! Link in bio.

10 years ago this week, I arrived in Aotearoa/NZ.

In my early 20s, with no real plan but full of curiosity. I spent a few months up in the North Island, went on a roadie and ended up in Tāhuna/Queenstown, where I met some of the most wonderful people and somehow ended up staying for a while.

Working long hours in hospo and cleaning left me pretty disconnected from my body. I spent a lot of time criticising what I saw in the mirror and treating my body as just a vessel that needed to function. I’d get frustrated when it didn’t work the way I wanted it to.

I didn’t yet understand the incredible, magical work my body does every day to keep me alive. I didn’t understand it needs and more importantly, deserves, to be cared for.

I’d tried yoga before, but it was during that time, and through some very special teachers, that yoga became a welcomed presence in my life.

Somewhere amongst the trails and mountains, I found my strength. I found awe and gratitude for this body that could carry me and everything I needed up steep hills and across rivers.

And through yoga, I learned to listen to and befriend my body, and to meet myself with a little more kindness.

I’m so grateful for the people I met, the conversations I had and the lessons I learned along the way (even the painful ones).

And now I’m by the ocean in dreamy Ōtepoti/Dunedin. I never imagined this would be my life, but I’m very happy it is.

Thank you for being here 🎈

We’re all different, and different days require different things. And there’s no perfect way to rest

The Art of Rest is a space to explore different practices and notice what helps you slow down and feel rested.
No goal to reach. Nothing to optimise. No perfect way to do it.
Just 2.5 hours to step away from the noise for a wee while and simply be.

📆 every last Saturday of the month
⏰ 3-5:30pm
📍 The Movement Space

10/06/2026

Join me, Catalina at The Movement Space every last Saturday of the month or a 2.5-hour journey into stillness and deep rest through the gentle, meditative Yoga practices.

✨ The Art of Rest ✨
An immersive afternoon offering you a chance to slow down and refill your cup.

We begin with a gentle yoga asana (movement) practise to feel and connect with the body. Then, settle into a Yoga Nidra — a guided journey, where the body deeply rests and the mind gently unwinds.

Expect:
• A calming space
• Therapeutic Yoga
• Yoga Nidra
• Herbal tea
• To float into your evening

Do you know what I am talking about that there are many ways we can feel tired? Not just physically, but energetically, mentally and emotionally too.

In yoga, health isn’t just about the body or the mind. We’re multi-dimensional beings, with different layers (koshas) that all interact and affect how we feel and navigate through the world.

The way I describe to friends how I feel when I am exhausted across multiple layers is like I am barrel that is full to the brim and every drop brings it to over flow (hello tears)

At the Art of Rest, we are using yogic rest and relaxation practises to nurture all the layers.

Maybe you need a little break? An afternoon to slow down and unwind.

🗓 16th May

Do you ever feel guilty when you rest?
Like there’s always something more important you should be doing?

What if I tell you that rest is actually productive?

Rest supports your immune system, mental clarity & emotional wellbeing.
It can help to prevent burnout and actually boosts productivity.

I’d love to invite you to join me for The Art of Rest
An afternoon to slow down, move softly & be guided into deep rest.

🗓 16th May
⏰ 3 - 5:30pm
