with Emily Burton
Join Emily Burton for a special two hour workshop for anyone at any yoga level who is experiencing or has experienced great loss. In this workshop we will discuss how grief is an expression of love, how sacred practice is a way to honor our loved ones and our lives, and how yoga provides the framework for navigation. The initiation of great loss is a life shattering experience and one that most human beings will experience somewhere along the way. When we gather in communities that share the same pain and we move into sacred practice together- we begin a powerful healing journey. Our prayers are amplified, our hearts are seen, and who we are is shared as everyone we love and have loved.
There will be zero pressure to share in this workshop. You can come quietly and receive. All are welcome, all are seen.
2 hour workshop includes;
Discussion
Meditation
Asana
Savasana
prayer/
ritual.

Emily Burton has been teaching yoga for almost 20 years. She owns the yoga dive in Grass Valley and leads international retreats, teacher trainings, and workshops. Her training is in Anusara yoga and she was guided by her teachers in Los Angeles for many years before moving to Sacramento to be with the love of her life- Sean Manchester. When Sean got an opportunity to direct the special education department for the highschool district in Nevada City- they relocated to begin a new life and start a family. Blessed with two beautiful little boys, Sean supported Emily in opening up her first yoga studio so she could stay local and share the gift of yoga with students in her community. On March 31, 2018- while kayaking the South Yuba River, Sean was in an accident on a rapid and passed away. To say this event dismantled her life is an understatement. Everything changed that day and everything continues to change. Emily is passionate about bringing death out of the shadows of our culture and bringing more ritual and sharing around our loss. She leads an online widow support group and learns more and more about life through her grief than anything else. As a teacher, she weaves the personal into the universal and hopes to give students a space on the mat to feel and connect to the vastness of love which goes far beyond our physical bodies and resides in every moment of every day.
