Yoga for Grief at The Portland Yoga Project @ The Portland Yoga Project
Mar 29 @ 5:30 pm – 6:15 pm
Yoga for Grief at The Portland Yoga Project @ The Portland Yoga Project | Portland | Maine | United States

WITH VICTORIA RUTLEDGE

LAST FRIDAY OF EVERY MONTH | 5:30 PM- 6:15PM | SUGGESTED DONATION $15

MOVEMENT FOR GRIEF

Grief, like anger, is a feeling that wants our attention, our energy, and our bodies. How do we hold such complicated and intense sensations? How do we transmute and alchemize them so that we can create more acceptance around our experiences? For some, movement is the key into this integration. This will not be a traditional asana class, instead we will use different movement styles to explore where things are seated in the body. You can expect a moving meditation in the form of shaking, dancing, and simple asana sequences designed to be repeated until what is heavy in our hearts has been given its appropriate space. This space is designed to hold all kinds of grief, and no one will be turned away.

This yoga for grief class is held directly prior to Victoria’s Yoga Nidra & Sound Bath class, please feel free to sign up for & attend both.

Donations will be collected at the door. If able, please bring a suggested donation of $15 in cash or check. Registration for class is free.

DONATION BASED YOGA NIDRA + SOUND BATH FOR GRIEF

The past few years have put all of us face to face with grief and all that it can encompass. Whether it is the passing of a loved one, dramatic change in circumstance, or just mourning the passing of our former selves, the tools we cultivate to process and hold grief are a deeply important. This workshop is aimed at holding compassionate and soft space for ourselves to notice where we are in our grief. There is no wrong way to move through change and challenge. You can expect 30 minutes of guided meditation, 15 minutes of sound bath, journaling, and completely optional small group sharing.

Wear comfortable clothes, and bring any props, pillows, or blankets that allows you to rest in stillness for the duration of the meditation.

This class is held directly after Victoria’s Movement for Grief class and is also offered virtually, please feel free to sign up for & attend both.
