Bereavement Support Group
Connecting through Yoga
"Finding peace and comfort inside is still possible."
-Connecting Through Yoga Participant
William Shakespeare wrote, " Give Sorrow words: the grief that does not speak whispers the o’er-fraught heart and bids it break." Truer words have not been spoken; though not all grief can be expressed through words alone. Grief can have a profound effect on the body, mind, and spirit causing us to feel fragmented and isolated. Using gentle asana (physical poses), pranyama (breath), and meditation, begin to heal the mind-body connection in a supportive and nurturing group environment.
While grief follows a different path for each individual, you are not alone. Be a part of a special Kula (community) of fellow travelers navigating their way through the difficult journey of grief after the death of a loved one.
