We still don’t fully understand dreaming. Some say it helps process emotion. Others point to memory, creativity, or learning. But what’s becoming clear is this: Dreaming is connected to how we metabolize experience. And most of what we live through doesn’t just disappear at the end of the day. It lingers... in the body, in our nervous system. If there isn’t enough rest, safety, or space to metabolize it… it stays unfinished. This is part of why dreams can feel so charged. They’re one of the places where the system continues its work. Where what hasn’t been processed begins to reorganize. Yoga Nidra touches this same territory, but consciously. You’re not asleep or trying to figure anything out. You’re resting… while the system begins to metabolize what’s been held. And when that happens, insight doesn’t feel forced. It feels like something finally had the space to land. We explore this more deeply inside the Peace in Rest Program If you feel the pull to understand this in your own system, you can join the waitlist.

over the next seven days, I’m going to be taking some time to rest & restore and would love your insights, but first, a little update. i was invited, somewhat last minute, to guide a yoga nidra practice at a beautiful women’s retreat. with everything moving through my heart lately, it felt like A FULL-BODY soul-aligned ‘YES’. while i’m there, i’ll be turning inward. listening. gathering inspiration. allowing space for what wants to emerge next for this community and beyond. you may not hear from me quite as much over the next few days. and i trust you. this space continues because you continue. in the meantime, i gently suggest revisiting the seven-day REST & RESTORE chakra series. move through it slowly. choose the one that calls to you. or begin again from the root and journey upward. and here’s something i’d love to invite… If you were to attend a retreat designed exactly for you… what would it include? more silence? nature walks? deep conversation? long yoga nidras? nervous system workshops? journaling by candlelight? share with me below. i’m listening 😉😉 Connect with you all again soon!

Oh you guys..my heart is so grateful. I was lying here feeling so alone and lost and then I remembered to check Ayla’s Skool. I am so used to no support I was actually scared to check. I had a challenging but amazing day at my new school. I cried in public, then ran to the ladies and began to plot how to escape and never go back. I felt like a caged animal ready to gnaw my own appendage off rather than go back into that class. But then I heard this little voice outside the bathroom stall. It was the little girl I had helped yesterday by letting her tell me about her miscarriage. She had seen me spiral and followed me. So I came out and got a hug, then the teacher came in made me feel empowered NOT ASHAMED. I showed fragility and nobody kicked me to the curb for the curb for it. Unheard of in my life. Unheard of…so I went back to class and it was ok. And now you all…😢😢😢😢 Thank you so much. I have always been there for others, but this time people were there for me. God bless all of you💚💚💚💚💚
