Grief Centered Yoga Practice with Monica

This gentle and nurturing yoga class blends gentle hatha, restorative, and yin practices to provide you with a slow and easy format where you can find what feels good in your body and explore breathwork and mindfulness. This yoga class is designed to create and hold space for you to simply be, and to come as you are, wherever you are on your grieving journey. We welcome you with open arms and look forward to creating and holding space together! Please make sure you have a quiet space to practice with a yoga mat and perhaps a water bottle. The practice can often be elevated with use of pillows and/or blankets. We will go over what we will be using at the beginning of each class.
