Grief in Motion: A Workshop Using Yoga to Cope With Grief
With Annie Smith, RYT200 and Certified Grief Counselor
Saturday, October 14, 3:00 – 5:00 pm, $50
In-person at Shree Yoga
Each of us faces many different losses throughout a lifetime: death of a loved one, separation, relocation, life transitions, pet loss, and others. A grief reaction is a normal, appropriate response to loss and affects all aspects of a person’s life: physical, emotional, cognitive, social, behavioral and spiritual. Grief is expressed through all these dimensions. The intention of this workshop, Grief in Motion, is to provide a safe and compassionate environment to explore the benefits of yoga to cope with loss and grief.
Your workshop will include:
- Theme-inspired centering
- Mindful breathing techniques
- Yoga practice (gentle yoga)
- Education--grief process, mindful awareness, transformation following loss
- Guided, contemplative journaling
- Guided meditation
- Resources to help support you in your grief
