For anyone facing Grief and Loss at this time, we send you so much love. ❤️ Feel free to use our Grief and Loss Yoga Series available on the App.

🦋 Session 1 of 7 | Winter: Awareness in Body and Mind 🦋

Our first session begins in the cold of winter. Grief manifests in the body as physical symptoms—often as pain and tightness in the chest and throat, disrupted sleep, shallow breathing, frequent sighing, fatigue, and exhaustion. Our nervous systems shift into survival mode, a state of threat and danger.

Who does your heart miss today? As we begin, picture them in your mind’s eye—perhaps during a happy time. See their face, say their name. Feel free to hold your loved one’s name in your heart throughout the entire practice.

What does your heart miss today? Sometimes we find ourselves in a space where life has not gone as planned. We must allow ourselves to grieve what will never be.
