Yoga for Grief
Grief lives in the body too, not only in memories.
Gather online for the first four Saturday mornings in May to practice Yoga for Grief as a way to gently integrate, breathe, feel, and move through grief. We know grief and love are intertwined; we can embrace both with breath and mindfulness. We emerge more whole and open.
All are welcome.
Description
Our aversion to grief numbs the body.
We numb out with addiction, overwork, and screens.

Whatever comes, we let it be as it is. When we do this, we come to see, in this moment or the next, our emotions always moving… Our emotions move in us, move through us, and move between us. And when we allow them to move freely, they change, perhaps scarcely and perhaps gradually ~ but inevitably. This is grief’s most piercing message: there is no way around ~ the only way is through.
