Emmie Rae is the founder of The Daily Rest Studio, a online membership for making the practice of Rest accessible in the lives of busy, creative and sensitive women. Part educational platform, part yoga studio, this is a space to change the way we move through the world - not through more force, effort or struggle, but by finding the courage to slow down, to soften and to show up as who we already are.

After graduating from the University of Technology Sydney with a Bachelors Degree in Writing and Cultural Studies, Emmie wrote and published poetry in literary journals, winning an Express Media award in 2014 for her poem I am my own person, standing on the concrete by a family of fallen plants and hosting poetry nights for ‘people who hate poetry.’

In 2015 she began teaching yoga full time and over the next seven years introduced the practice of Restorative Yoga and Deep Rest to multiple studios across Sydney, Australia, teaching classes and hosting workshops, trainings and retreats both locally and internationally.

The best way to connect with Emmie’s work is through the thriving, intimate community of The Daily Rest Studio. You can also join on Retreats & Trainings, engage in Soft Business Mentoring or read her long-form personal essays on her best-selling substack, The Deep Rest Salon.

Emmie currently lives in Tokyo, Japan and spends most of her free time falling deeper and deeper in love with her adopted home.
