$60.00 Nurturing the Grieving Heart Through Yoga
Yoga to
Nurture the Grieving Heart: a 4-week workshop
A year has
passed, and our lives have changed. Loss is an inevitable part of that change.
That uneasy feeling you’re experiencing may be grief. Whether we acknowledge the
loss or not, grief lives in our body. Whether you are grieving a loved one, or
the loss of an essential component in your life, the pain of grief is real.
Pain is inevitable, but the added-on suffering of isolation, fear, or anger is
optional.
During this
4-week workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to explore how grief shows up in
your body and thoughts. Nurturing the Grieving Heart Workshop offers you a
compassionate way to journey through your suffering toward a healing path.
While there is no timeline for grief, allowing, rather than resisting releases
energy for healing.
The
intention of this yoga workshop is to help you to remember your loved one with
more love than pain through targeted breathwork, movement and meditation. This
workshop is virtual, which allows you to explore in the safety of your own home
yet have a supportive and loving community available.
You are
invited to be part of a community of grievers, wherever you are along your
journey.
