Grief touches all of us.
Sometimes in life-altering ways, other times in subtle and surprising moments of change and transition. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, experienced a major life event, or are simply navigating the everyday rhythms of letting go/holding on, grief is ever present.
And just as love does, grief transforms us.
This monthly Yoga for Grief 2-hour workshop offers a safe, compassionate space to be with your grief. Through gentle yoga, meditation, and restorative practices, you can calm your nervous system, ease tension, and have intentional time for reflection, release and healing. During Savasana there will be a crystal bowl sound bath to deepen your experience. (Note: For any Livestream attendees I will share a spotify playlist for listening during the sound bath portion.)
Who is it for?
Anyone carrying grief in any form, recent or long-held, big or small, personal or collective; who would like to explore supportive yoga, mindfulness and meditation tools in a group setting with the intention of tending to your own needs and self care.
What will we do?
-
Gentle yoga and restorative postures (all levels/ages)
-
Guided meditation, visualizations and breath awareness
-
Extended savasana for deep rest and integration
-
Crystal Bowl Sound Bath during savasana
What if I don't want to share?
During this practice we will share our names but will not be sharing any personal details regarding our grief or grief experiences. There will be no advising, saving or fixing during this workshop.
Why come?
Grief can feel isolating, confusing and difficult but you don’t have to face it alone. Using these yoga tools and mindful practices Yoga for Grief offers ways to meet yourself where you are, soothe and soften the edges of loss—so you can find more compassion, presence, and understanding.
Join me.
All grief is honored, no grief too big or too small.
Please note: This workshop is not therapy. For individualized grief support, we encourage you to seek a licensed professional.

Yoga for Healthy Hands
Next session to be announced!
Text much? Knit or Crochet? Artist at the easel? Do you chop veggies and open jars? Have aches or arthritis in your hands that make daily activities more challenging?
Wave goodbye to sore and stiff hands with some finger-fantastic yoga exercises. With so many repetitive motions in our daily routines it's essential to engage in exercises for hand health and flexibility. Let's keep your hands, fingers and wrists happy and healthy by strengthening the muscles that support the joints, keep ligaments and tendons flexible, help with circulation and ease stiffness and discomfort. Together we'll do exercises specifically targeted for fine motor skills, and practice a few hand mudras. We'll also learn how to adapt traditional yoga asanas for hand and wrist issues.
A printed handout with list of exercises will be provided (or emailed to live stream attendees). Strong and supple hands are a key to healthy aging! Bonus activity: bring your creative project (drawing, journaling, knitting, crocheting, etc) and stay after class to enjoy the benefits of your newly revitalized hands.
