Blessed Rest: Healing Through Movement, Mindfulness & Community
Payal offers healing sessions centered around her original 53-card self-care deck, Blessed Rest by Payal™, designed to support intuitive and sustainable wellness practices. These 60-minute sessions include gentle stretching, guided meditation, personal contemplation, and group discussion. Each class is tailored to meet the needs of participants and is open to all experience levels.
Created during the pandemic as a gentle source of support, Blessed Rest by Payal™ features 40 aphorisms, 5 action cards, and 5 breathwork cards to encourage rest, reflection, and renewal. The deck serves as a guide for building a daily self-care practice that honors each person’s unique path to balance and healing.
Payal believes in the transformative power of movement and mindfulness to enhance both physical and mental well-being. Her approach invites participants to reconnect with themselves through simple, meaningful practices.
Each session includes:
STRETCH – Yoga
MEDITATE – Mindfulness
JOURNAL – Gratitude
DISCUSS – Community connection
Through these sessions and the Blessed Rest deck, Payal empowers individuals to embrace rest as a healing act and to make small, intentional choices that support long-term well-being. Experience the power of rest as self-care—connect through movement, reflection, and meaningful conversation.
"Connect with your inner abundance and take refuge in your heart. Let your practice be your prayer."
