Grief & Gratitude

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.
