yoga for grief retreat
Join Kerri Hanlon, Yoga Home co-founder, for a special weekend dedicated to exploring and processing grief. Most of us hold grief in the body in some way. Grief is caused by loss of loved ones, loss of jobs, of homes, of business, relationships and more. When left unattended, it can manifest into mental, physical and emotional strain.
Yoga and mindfulness are pathways to move some of the grief energy through the body in a constructive manner. Come spend a weekend dedicated to processing your grief, in a constructive, supportive way. We’ll spend time addressing how grief is showing up for you and use movement, breath and mindfulness exercises to find release.
Grief can feel incredibly isolating; being with others can remind us that we’re not alone, allow us to drop deeper into our feelings and acknowledge the pain we feel is real.
The weekend will include daily yoga sessions, optional hikes, nourishing meals and plenty of time for cozy cups of tea, journaling and rest.
No experience is needed; only a willingness to show up. Brand new beginners will find plenty of direction on all aspects of our practice and more experienced yogis will discover ways to use their practice to support healing.
