Delano Community Education

In support of a yogic community, this specialty yoga class is offered for persons navigating the mysterious journey of grief, transition, and loss.

Holidays, anniversaries, birthdays, and special occasions can be especially difficult after a loss. Whether the loss of a loved one, the loss of a pet, the loss of a job, a home, health or income, the loss of security or friends, body image or sense of self-worth, the loss of a role we once played for others or the loss of a relationship - transition and loss leaves a residue of grief in our physical, energetic, and emotional body. When we experience emotional trauma and loss, every cell of our being holds the energy that is “grief.” If we acknowledge and mourn our losses, we can release the energy of those trapped experiences and cleanse our beings, allowing energy to flow through us. We can accept the healing available to us, embrace the goodness of life as it is, and set ourselves free through the transformative practice of gratitude.

Using breathing techniques, physical yoga, reflection, meditation, and personal ritual, we’ll honor our experience and restore ourselves, mind, body, and spirit. Yogis of all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced practitioners, are welcome.

The techniques offered in this workshop can be used at any stage of any process of grief, transition, or loss, even long after the wake of traumatic grief seems to have subsided.
