Wow, this video is perhaps the first AHA moment that I've had during a practice. It occurred around the twenty minute mark, when Denise's comment about breath made me realize that living in the present moment was not just about letting go of the past, but (as Denise put it) freeing ourselves "of the things we worry will happen." After this, I sprang up an began to cry. I have been struggling with the lost of my parents and younger sister for 12 years, and have an emotional block whenever I think about them or the accident in which they died. For the first time, I realized that I have been blocking these emotions for fear that if I began to feel them, I would become mired in them.
It felt quite nice, sticking with the emotions and letting them out rather than bottling them up.

I wonder if YogaAnytime would possibly make a series about Yoga for Grief. I would definitely watch it and incorporate it into my practice.

Dearest Stephanie, thank you so much for your bravery and courage in sharing such a powerful moment. Cheri Clampett's Season 2 of Therapeutic Yoga will release a practice on August 20, called Grieving Heart. I love your idea of doing a whole show on the topic.

With Affection, Kira

Thank you Stephanie for sharing your story. You were able to create a safe space within your practice that allowed you access to a truly deep loss. Gently and compassionately processing the emotion we have pent up eventually helps us to make our way to a place of peace--where we can honor our loss, sadness, and grief but not be held back by them. You are an inspiration.
Love & light,
Denise

As beautiful as this practice is, we never let go of grief, we learn to live with it. Would like to hear about more in depth ways to live with grief through yoga.

Judy, While we give Denise Antonini a chance to reply, you might also visit Cheri's Season 2 of Therapeutic Yoga which is about grief.

You are absolutely right Judy. We strive to find a way to come to terms with loss and suffering in a way that allows us to honor our experiences and feelings. I have found meditation especially helpful in creating a safe space in which to process difficult emotions.

I am not currently grieving, but this was a beautiful practice. The first position was hard on my right knee, so I used Savasana. Loved the side Savasana. I might do this again just in this position only, as a bike crash trauma came into my awareness (the left thigh hit a car nine years ago; the tissue is still hardened). Thank you for your caring and warm energy.

By all means David Goldstein please modify when you need to. Our bodies can have all kinds of memories surface when we practice yoga with awareness. 

Thanks for this beautiful and gentle practice, Denise! Namaste! ❤️🥰
