Bear moving in woods pauses for refreshment (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
tea breaks
'pauses for refreshment' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'bear moving in woods' is the wordplay.
'moving' indicates an anagram.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'woods' becomes 'teaks' (teak is a kind of wood).
'bear' anagrammed gives 'abre'.
'abre' going within 'teaks' is 'TEA-BREAKS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
