Healing Grief with Yoga and mindfulness.

About this course

Grief shows up in unexpected forms and often during unexpected times. It may arise when you lose a family member, friend, or beloved pet. Grief may be part of the heartache of a divorce. You may grieve the loss of youth, or perhaps you grieve the life you aspired to live or the child you planned to someday nurture. Everyone faces loss at one time or another—it’s a substantial part of the human experience. Because we aren’t taught how to grieve, you may not be equipped with the knowledge or skills you need to manage loss when it happens.I have studied grief for over 20 years through my work with hospice and my yoga for grief program. I've learned that there really isn't any rhyme or reason to grief.. No right or wrong way to grieve. It differs from person to person but there are some resources and words of wisdom that can help you heal.Grief can be a zigzag across those stages with no particular order, and you may not experience every stage. There is no prescription for the process of grieving, and grief doesn’t merely disappear once you’ve zagged across every stage. You may never experience closure after a loss.This course will offer tools to help you begin to heal. Tools to help you be more present with your grief, to accept it as part of your life. I hope you gain a new perspective on grief and the healing process.
