Yoga Therapy for Grief & Loss
Experiencing Grief or Loss can have a profound and lasting effect on the mind and body. It can be physical pain, disruption of sleep, mood swings, and extreme bouts of sadness.
Yoga Therapy can be a powerful, gentle and non-addictive treatment, it can positively impact your daily life:
- Focus your mind to be present
- Help rebalance the biorhythms so sleeping, eating and emotions normalize
- Relax muscles and relieve physical pain
- Allow you to be compassionately connect with your grief
- Creates a supported, healing space to address how you are feeling
Yoga is also a great form of self-care, lifting your spirit and setting intentions for the week ahead.
Mindfulness, Meditation and Guided Breathwork are some of the best practices to help grievers tap into their inner self, and is also a useful tool to help calm the mind and emotions, and redirect the quality of your thoughts.
There is no set timetable for grief. You may start to feel better in 6 to 8 weeks, or it may take longer, this is no reflection on the depth of a person’s grief, just their ability to manage it. You may start to feel better in small ways, it becomes a little easier to get up in the morning, or maybe you’ll have more energy. Like anything grief recover is a process, and takes effort and commitment.
Yoga therapy is a compassionate and gentle journey to recovery.
Why are 1-on-1 sessions better than a group class?
There are no other students in a private session so we can focus 100% on you and your needs. This is especially helpful for those with specific issues, physical and emotional, they want to work on, those who want to really focus on their own healing journey, anyone coming back from an injury, and those who might be concerned about privacy.
Let’s create a space together where you can imagine, activate, and embrace your whole, strange self as a catalyst for personal, and (sooner-or-later) collective transformation.
