Restorative Yoga for Grief at the Center for Grief and Loss
Tuesday, September 1, 2026, from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm, $35 registration
Grief and loss impact us in a myriad of emotional, physical, and mental ways. Common physical symptoms include fatigue, aches, pains, changes in appetite and digestion, disrupted sleep, tightness in the chest, difficulty breathing well, headaches, irritability, forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating, and a compromised immune system.
Yoga can aid in easing some of the symptoms of grief by helping to unite the body, breath, and heart when it can feel like this connection has been severed by loss. Having a designated space and time to tune into what’s happening under the surface creates space for healing. Unlike a support group, yoga for grief combats the feelings of isolation often accompanying grief without any pressure to talk or absorb details of other people’s pain. This event is for anyone who has experienced a significant loss, as defined by themselves.
