  • Yoga has been instrumental in my own healing which is why I hope to help others discover its power. Students have told me that grief yoga classes have been a transformative journey allowing them to shift their thoughts and release them. Grief is a very personal and unique experience, and some show up in a raw state, while others are blocked from their emotions and need to connect to and express their grief. Some of us cry in this class, and there is also laughter. It is brave to show up and do this beneficial and healing work.

  • All people experiencing grief are welcome including loss of a loved one, a difficult health diagnosis, or loss of a job to give some examples. All clients are given space to express their grief.

  • Gentle yoga is for anyone who desires a slow, supportive and accessible practice. Participants include those new to yoga, those recovering from an injury, athletes, pregnant or postpartum women and seniors. These classes are less about performance, and more about presence. They are wonderful support for anxiety and stress.
