Grief comes in many forms. It's what you feel when you lose something you love—whether it's a person, pet, job, relationship, or a part of yourself. Life inevitably brings loss, leading to sadness, anger, and anxiety. When these emotions are unexpressed, they can become trapped in your body, because the body remembers. Grief is love with nowhere to go. Through compassionate transformation, you can process grief and use it as fuel for healing, opening yourself to more love.

This practice combines various forms of yoga, movement, and breath techniques to help you process grief and use it for transformative healing. It’s more about emotional liberation than physical flexibility. Often, grief causes pain to get stuck in the body. This nurturing space allows you to become aware of where you hold pain and struggle, and then express and release it through movement, breath, sound, and flowing meditations. This is a space to open your heart, connect to joy, and transform pain back into love in an empowering way.
