Rest is how we remember our freedom.
Through modalities such as Yoga Nidra, restorative yoga, meditation, and somatic nervous-system practices, house of duafe centers rest as a liberatory care practice that supports lived experience and expands the capacity for ease, embodiment, and connection.
At house of duafe, we meet Freedom Dreamers where they are.
Daily practices create sustainable rhythms of ease and visioning — accessible entry points anyone can begin today. These rituals support consistent nervous system regulation and daily remembrance that rest is a birthright.
Facilitated journeys offer deeper support through community or personalized coaching — for those ready to unlearn urgency with guidance and accountability. These experiences move through our three pillars: Rest as Remembrance, Embodied Safety, and Liberatory Care.
Workplace offerings bring liberation-centered rest into organizational spaces — supporting teams, leaders, and communities in building collective capacity for sustainable care without burnout.
Every offering is designed to honor that rest is not a luxury, but a birthright, and that reclaiming ease is both personal healing and collective liberation. Whether you begin with a daily practice or dive into a facilitated journey, you're remembering what your body already knows: you were born free.

Across all offerings, our work is guided by three core pillars of liberation-centered rest:
1. Rest as Rememberance | Restorative Yoga Nidra
Our signature modality of deep rest and guided inner restoration. Through sacred stillness and ancestral remembrance, the body unwinds, the heart softens, and the mind slows just enough to reset to ease.2. Embodied Safety | Settling Nervous System Support
Evidence-based tools that expand capacity, safety, and resilience for individuals and communities.
This includes trauma-informed, somatic practices such as breathwork, settling rituals, and everyday tools for shifting out of urgency and into grounded presence.
3. Liberatory Care | Freedom Reclamation
Guided practices to unlearn grind culture, over-functioning, and survival mode. We reclaim our freedom to rest and ease as a birthright through reflection, ritual, and inner rewiring for building sustainable capacity in the work we’re called to do.

Yoga Nidra, often nicknamed “sleep yoga” or “yogic sleep”, is a deep, active rest and relaxation practice. It includes aspects of meditation, breathwork, & visualizations to cultivate deep relaxation in the mind, body, and nervous system - all while remaining aware and conscious of our being.
Research has shown that Yoga Nidra has benefits related to stress management, mood, self-transformation, receptivity, physiological and mental health, menstrual symptoms, and general well-being. The Sleep Foundation has also identified several ways Yoga Nidra can improve sleep experiences.
As a certified Yoga Nidra guide, Taylor has the pleasure of supporting every guided journey through Yoga Nidra with her voice for individuals to access deep relaxation.
