Yoga for Grief & Stress Release
Grief and stress are not solely felt by the mind, but also held within our physical bodies and manifest as fatigue, sickness, and chronic pain. As Dr. Bessel van der Kolk notes, “the body keeps the score.”
This yoga class will be a longer, slow flow focused on long holds, breathwork, and restorative poses to help the body release tension and calm the nervous system. This trauma-aware yoga class is beneficial for anyone who wishes to engage in a mindful yoga practice, but also ideal for caregivers, those who have experienced loss, and those recovering from trauma.

She is also a trained death doula through INELDA (The International End of Life Doula Association). She is interested in helping others live life more fully and intentionally.
