Certified Daring to Rest Facilitator

Certified: 2021

Brevard, North Carolina

Paula Karssiens embraces her past growing up in rural Minnesota, her years spent living in Asia as well as multiple locations throughout the US as the context for positioning her views. As a Cat Scan Technician, she saw much of what can go wrong with the human body and the impact it can have on the mind and spirit. Paula completed the RYT 200 twice and has extensive experience in Yin Yoga, meditation techniques and has taken multiple other teaching courses including chair yoga and yoga for breast cancer recovery. She is also a Reiki practitioner.

After experiencing clear benefits from Yoga Nidra she decided to further her education specific to this practice. A Yoga Nidra workshop she attended included a segment from Daring to Rest™. She was attracted to the focus on empowering women through the practice of rest and decided to take on the certification process through the Daring to Rest™ Academy. Now as a certified facilitator she seeks to put that objective to work.


Daring to Rest is A peaceful path to true relaxation.

“Daring to rest elevates consciousness, freeing it from physicalness while accelerating healing of the mind, body and spirit with lasting effect.”
