At this workshop you will ignite, connect and transform the energy of the heart chakra.

The heart chakra, located at the center of the spine at heart level, transmits compassion, empathy, love, and forgiveness. This chakra governs one’s senses of trust, fearlessness, peace, generosity, gratitude, and connectedness, as well as change and transformation, healthy boundaries, depth in relationships with others, emotional control, and love for oneself.

At this workshop we will practice gentle grief specific yoga poses, which facilitate the process of letting go of loss and grief while honoring those who have left. Cultivating a compassionate and safe environment we will discuss coping with grief and loss while embracing the healing potential of spring

The underlying theme of this workshop is to provide a pathway for conscious grieving to those experiencing a wide range of losses, including the ultimate loss, death. We will explore the grieving process through the asanas and yogic philosophy presented in Yoga Samachar, “Yoga for Letting Go” Spring/Summer 2019. Our time together will be spent in the spirit of initiating healing while reinforcing community. By the end of the workshop my hope is that you will take away the possibility of grief being a journey that, when embarked upon consciously, brings about intense growth and remarkable transformation.

This workshop is open to students of all levels. Teachers are highly encouraged to attend to better address the grief and loss needs of their students.
