Session Description:

Yoga for Grief Relief        
Spiritual Practice to Nourish the Self
With Antonio Sausys

The fact that grief is a normal reaction to loss doesn’t make it any easier to go through. Yoga can be instrumental in addressing the symptoms of grief because it focuses on mind, body, and spirit, the three areas where grief manifests—and often goes unacknowledged. This workshop offers information and yogic techniques that can help one move through the pain of loss to find release and reief. In it you will receive: 

  • General information about grief
  • A summary with 6 categories of symptoms, emphysizing the physical ones and their psychoneurological basis
  • A comparative analysis of the Western and Eastern views on attachment and how to address the suffering it causes
  • Simple yoga exercises that address symptoms while transforming grief into a resource for personal growth
  • Helpful techniques, thoughtful insights, and useful tips for relieving grief.
Yoga for Grief Relief is a somatic psychotherapeutic protocol using Yoga techniques to address the physical, mental and spiritual symptoms of grief towards the re-identification process that follows an important loss. This combination of theoretical lecture and experiential work can help the heart of anyone who is grieving a loss or those working with them.
