Radical rest can not only improve physical health, support mental wellbeing and increase emotional resilience but can even change the way we think about ourselves and the world around us. In Rest is Radical, Mel Skinner gives us nine principles which provide the foundation and guidelines to radical rest along with yoga practices that lead us to an embodied way of understanding the principles through the felt experience of slowing down. She explores how symptoms of depression, anxiety, addiction and more can be supported with the practices she shares. This is an invitation to move towards stillness, and in doing so discover a life more peaceful, contented and joyful.

About the Author

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.
