Christian Yoga for Grief - Closed Heart Stretch

In this Christian yoga for grief class, you are invited into a series of "closed heart" postures. When grieving, we trust Jesus' teaching that "Blessed are those who mourn, for you will be comforted." Instead of trying to rush to feeling better or shove down the grief, we enter into it. In this class, you tuck everything in, keep your heart close, and allow the tenderness you may be feeling to be honored. We simply mourn.

Thank you for this practice. I cried like a baby, and it gave me comfort in the loss of my 18 year old nephew 😢. Thank you, God bless ❤

My dear friend, Danielle, whom I have known since we were babies, suddenly and unexpectedly passed away in her sleep last week, September 3rd, 2024. She was 34 years old.

My heart is hurting with the rising and the setting of the sun....and yet rejoicing at the fact that she is in heaven, awaiting us all, safe and sound.

Thank you.
