Hello I'm Riley, and I’m so glad you’re here. The Pause Project is a reflection of so many parts of me and my love for creating, my love for yoga, and my belief that even the smallest moments of pause can feel meaningful.

​

I’m in my early twenties, a school librarian, a wife, a new yoga teacher, and a lifelong maker. Creativity has always been part of my life, and so much of that comes from my grandmother. I learned nearly every craft I know from her from sewing, Drawing, Painting, and Crocheting . More than anything, she taught me that handmade things carry  love and care with them. That lesson has stayed with me and lives inside everything I make.

​

By day I work in a library, which feels fitting because I’ve always been drawn to spaces that feel warm, thoughtful, and welcoming. I love books, creativity, community, and helping people feel at home wherever they are. Yoga became another extension of that for me. a place to slow down, reconnect, and breathe. Becoming a yoga teacher has felt like stepping into something I’ve quietly been moving toward for a long time, and I’m really excited to carve out my own path with it.

​

The Pause Project is where all of those pieces meet. It’s handmade goods, yoga offerings, art, and little things created with intention. My hope is that whatever you find here, whether it’s a yoga class, a sewn piece, a sticker, or something made just for you, Feels thoughtful, comforting, and brings a little softness into your everyday life.

​

At the heart of it all, I just want to make things that feel good and create spaces that feel kind. I genuinely believe the world can always use more kindness, more creativity, and more moments to pause.

​

Thank you for being here, it really means a lot.
