Transform Your Pain with Grief Yoga®

Are you experiencing pain, anxiety, fear, grief, sadness, physical frustrations, nervousness in your life?  It seems that all of us are experiencing this in some kind of way.  However, pain of any kind often keeps our emotional light dimmed, our heart hidden and creates disconnection between ourselves and others. Join Charity for this workshop where she will share insight into grief/grieving and offer an all-accessible Grief Yoga® practice with the intention of creating a safe space for you to move through whatever it is you need to in the moment.  The practice is all-accessible (can be done in a chair or on a yoga mat) and no prior yoga experience is needed!  

"It's possible to move with your grief to discover what might be on the other side: a place of grieving that is empowered, that is strong and alive." – Paul Denniston, founder of Grief Yoga®

 The all-accessible, gentle movement-based class uses breath, movement, & sound and your grief as the fuel to invite a compassionate transformation of the heaviness, pain, grief, sadness, and disconnection into energy of more connection, joy, peace, and love.  It is in no way about trying to forget about a loved one or to push away pain.  It is about feeling everything, getting curious, and then releasing yourself from the heaviness and burden of the pain to feel light again.

 *There will also be a 30-min blue lotus tea ceremony at the beginning of our workshop for you to experience if you choose to!*
