About Yoga for Grief: This 8 week class is designed to help your body recover from stress caused by grief & loss while providing you with peer support in a safe, non-judgmental environment. The program uses gentle movement and guided relaxation to help you manage the changes you are experiencing in your life and in your body. You will be given the opportunity to speak and be heard through group discussion and personal self-observation along with structured homework exercises.

Proven Results: Previous Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Groups have reported a 55% reduction in stress-related symptoms. Participants have also reported feeling:

• physical relief from tension, aches and pains
• a feeling of deep relaxation
• enhanced mental clarity and focus
• a clearer sense of purpose and empowerment
• a new perspective and inner connection

Class Format: The group will meet for approximately 2 ½ hours each week for 8 weeks, with one day long retreat in the middle of the program. Each week we will practice yoga, meditation, and have time for a group discussion. Weekly themes will be woven into each gathering and the retreat.

Who Will Benefit: If you feel your body, mind and spirit are experiencing stress from grief, then you will more than likely benefit from gentle stretching, relaxation, and group support. If you feel you are ready to participate in this grief support group, e-mail Heather or call 240-446-3030 with any questions and to receive an application packet­.

Previous yoga experience is not required, and your own spiritual beliefs are welcome and respected.

Materials Included: You will receive an audio CD for home practice, as well as a manual with journaling and other mindfulness-based activities to help foster healing and growth.
