Rest Is Productive
Stillness is not the absence of doing — it is where the body repairs, the mind untangles, and energy returns. We protect it fiercely.
Our Story
About Softglow
A quiet corner of Wetherby devoted to rest, warmth, and returning to yourself.
Hello, I'm Maya
Softglow began the way many good things do — with burnout. Years ago, running on empty between work and young children, I stumbled into a slow yoga class and, later, onto a Reiki couch. Both changed how I breathe, sleep, and meet my days.
I trained as a 200-hour yoga teacher and a Usui Reiki Level II practitioner, then opened a small studio so others could find the same softness. My teaching is gentle, unhurried, and free of expectation: you will always be offered options, and resting is celebrated here.
When I am not holding space, you will find me walking the Wharfe with a flask of tea, arranging chimes for our upcoming sound evenings, or blending the room mists we use in every session.
