Mindful grieving yoga therapy

Compassionate, Somatic-Based Grief Support

Experience a different approach to grief support through Katy’s Mindful Grieving Yoga Therapy Programs. These programs, based on the Center for Somatic Grieving’s curriculum, follow an evolutionary progression that will guide you through a process of self-inquiry, to not only move through your grief, but to experience greater clarity and understanding of your purpose and life path.  Going through a loss might cause you to question or even redefine your identity.  Through the support of a loving community, you will be guided to surrender to the flow of life and discover new parts of yourself.

Awakening to grief: virtual 6-Week mindful grieving yoga therapy program

A powerful introduction to Katy’s compassionate, somatic-based approach for grief and loss of all kinds. Within a supportive, closed-group container, you will be guided to observe where you hold grief in your body and how to witness your sensations, emotions, and thoughts without judgement.  Because it’s necessary to feel grief in order to process it, this program strives to teach you how to begin to be present with yourself (even when it is painful) and to receive the wisdom that can only come from within.

Each week, we will meet for 2 hours and use the following tools to support us in our self-inquiry:

  • Guided Meditation

  • Journaling 

  • Group Sharing 

  • Yoga / Movement 

  • Relaxation / Integration 

Throughout the 6 weeks, we will explore the following themes:

  • Creating a Safe Container to Grieve In

  • Presence & Body Awareness

  • Unconditional Love & Acceptance

  • Grief as a Teacher

  • Evolution of Identity Through Grief

  • The Process of Change

Next 6-Week Program begins on Saturday, June 8th at 9-11am Hawai’i time
Cost: $400 (Payment Plans Available)

Mindful Grieving Program Reviews

Mindful Grieving Testimonials

“This course was a very big part of helping me work through the grief that I am experiencing. I learned a lot in the teaching portions and I felt like I was offered such a gift in making a place for grief each week. I learned to give myself more grace and time through this class. I also really enjoyed the yoga portion. Through the yoga, I was able to release a lot of emotions that I was holding in my body. After just the first few weeks, I felt much more free and light.

Even though I am still grieving, I feel like I now have the tools to work through it in a healthy way. Katy provided such a safe, open, and welcoming environment and I’m so thankful that I joined in on this course!”

“Katy provided a comfortable, safe space for sitting with grief and being okay with not being okay. I really appreciated all aspects of each session and I felt that I was able to slowly build a spiritual connection with my inner wisdom. Despite dealing with grief, it actually never felt too heavy or uncomfortable to sit in silence and meditation. The yoga asana practice was also really nourishing and releasing.”

- Jane

“The 6-week group was really amazing. It gave me the chance to reflect, learn, and grow within myself. I found that each week I looked forward to the group. Katy did an excellent job of guiding the group and providing a safe and comfortable space.”
