The experience of grief often hits us like a tsunami, and then ebbs and flows in waves that sometimes never subside. While we don’t have a choice in when grief hits, we do have a choice in how we respond to the feelings and sensations it brings.
In this episode, Grief Yoga creator Paul Denniston shares his story of how he came to know – and use – grief as a powerful connection back to love.
In his new book, Healing Through Yoga, Paul outlines the many ways in which we can use yoga and mindfulness to find the strength and courage to face and feel grief, and all of the emotions and sensations that accompany it.
