At The Threshold: On Fierce Compassion & Reclaiming Our Rest / Octavia Raheem","description":"Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Octavia Raheem, beloved author, mother, activist, yoga teacher and practitioner, whose books - Gather, and Pause, Rest, Be: Stillness Practices for Courage in Times of Change - offer revolutionarily gentle, powerful ideas and practices to restore the body, mind and spirit.\u00a0\n\nHaving received national attention for her work training yoga teachers and diversifying the yoga and wellness industry, Octavia\u2019s work as a yoga professional focuses on practical tools to teach individuals how to manage stress, anxiety, and fatigue through yoga and meditation in a way that is accessible to all levels and abilities, and restorative to the nervous system. Her work has been featured in Yoga Journal, Mantra magazine, Well + Good, CNN, WXIA, and Atlanta Magazine, and she is one of the most vibrant and inspiring voices I have come across in the re-imagining of what it means to reclaim our rest.\n\nIf you\u2019re searching for a way to come home to yourself, or to transform ethnic or race-based stress and trauma, Octavia\u2019s teachings offer a path towards refuge, and her voice is a powerful guide to surviving, healing and thriving in difficult times.\n\nRecorded on 15th April 2022.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/db7ee881-8d12-4bc4-a838-459a9fad70ae/avatars-yd46n2ujyabzat4l-m7nolw-original.jpg"}
