We all have grief, often in our core memories from childhood, from the death of a loved one, or from a physically traumatic experience. This course will hold space for the way these core memories or often unspeakable experiences live in our bodies and cells now. We will work with our triggers, anxieties, depressions, unknown places, and more; to allow them to arise in the body, to engage with awareness with them (and you have a lot of support to do this!) and then to embody these experiences of grief and let them flow, let them live, let them move, release, and reintegrate. Because as we all know, these experiences don't go away, they live with us, and we learn to live with them, as part of the fabric of our journey of being human. Every one who faces their grief is a hero, in my eyes, a daily warrior able to look themselves and others directly in the eyes with an open heart. This is a gift to yourself to do this course. Please reach out with any questions and all the details are here now:

Everyone is welcome. We will engage in the practices of asanas (postures) and pranayama (breathing). Instructions will be given on awareness of the body for inner discovery and healing. The aim is to live a fully embodied, joyful, and awake life!
Actions are taught to stabilize ourfoundation, deepen the body-mind and mind-heart connection, and release tension. Props such as belts, blocks, bolsters, blankets, and chairs are used to assist in working with postures and make poses accessible for all bodies. With precise and easy-to-follow guidance, we will learn to build each pose from the ground up while tuning into the body and mind, to harmonise movement, breathing, and awareness, to work with physical edges to release stuck emotions, to create strength and well-being—physically, mentally and spiritually.
