Being With Grief

Being With Grief Online course starting in April

This program will be an informative blend of cognitive insight and behavioural practice with embodied supportive practices through breath, mindful enquiry and movement.

My Medicine of Grief
I found grief work through experiencing deep personal loss… It was scary place for a while and realised I was in denial and experiencing a lot of shame. The fear I felt about losing my mobility, my ability to move, my work, the way I always could.

Teaching yoga was my anchor for over 25 years… Moving my body helps me integrate all the emotions I felt at times and helps me navigate myself through this life.. It is how I express myself out in the world, my strong fit and healthy self through my embodiment practices.

So this triggered the unthinkable for me and began the process of coming to terms with limited mobility, first my yoga practice and my ability to walk brought me to the acknowledgement that I need to have both my hips replaced.
I prefer to say, hips upgrade, which resonates with me better - It was 13 years later from when it was first suggested to me at the age of 43, and a full time yoga teacher.

During these latter few years when I didn’t feel so comfortable teaching yoga that I found breathwork and somatic practices that ‘The Medicine of Breath’ was born.

Working with the breath has taken me on a deep healing journey of my own grieving and healing trauma, embodiment, ritual and rest.

I absolutely know these practices have been my mental and emotional support and it is now my life’s work.

Collaborating with Martin from Cruise, a bereavement councillor, we offer this 4 week online course exploring embodied practice, authentic conversation and compassionate listening.
