Yoga For Grief Relief
This is an awesome outlet to offer people who need to grieve in different ways. Such a great idea.
– Participant
Grief is ever present in our lives both individually and collectively. We experience loss of all kinds, whether it be of a loved one, a job, a pet, a relationship, aspects of ourselves or dreams we once had.
We invite you to join us to find relief in your grief through the act of yoga.
Yoga for Grief Relief takes place on the first Tuesday of every month at My Studios.
This is a free program in partnership with My Studios and Kieran Nadeau.
