I’m Jaipreet (Joy) Chandna, founder of The Rested Human™ and co-founder of Araam Retreats, a sanctuary in the Himalayas dedicated to rest.

In 2019, I experienced temporary blindness for 42 days. After years of working constantly, I found myself having to stop. That experience became part of my journey toward understanding rest, listening to myself, and learning to pause.

Today, I share yoga, meditation, retreats and writing practices that invite us to slow down and hear ourselves more clearly.

Writing has been part of my life for over twenty years. It has helped me uncover my intentions, understand my patterns, and find my own voice beneath the roles, expectations and masks I wore.

The Pause Practice grew from that journey. I hope it gives you space to listen inward and take time for your Araam.
