Yoga for Grief

Description
Grief is a portal through the body
The body knows how to grieve.
Just as the body knows how to eat, sleep, birth, and love ~
the body also knows how to grieve.
To mourn.
To feel our way through the wilderness of great sorrow.
Join for a gentle practice and the cultivation of a safe space for moving with sorrow.
Trusting that the body knows
how to
grieve.

Yoga for Grief is set at a gentle pace.
Classes are not recorded.
All are welcome.
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.
