Join Becky Verner for a Mother’s Day Memorial Gathering offering tools for personal well-being and a social support group for those grieving a loss.
We will begin with an introduction and Circle of Remembrance candle-lighting ceremony to build a safe space of community and support. Next, we will participate in a short, gentle yoga class to connect our breath with movement and stillness - focusing on mind/body awareness, breath and the factors of our lives we can control. A longer guided-meditation Savasana will be offered to close the practice.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a photo of the loved one(s) they are grieving to the event, to place beside their mat during class. Please wear comfortable clothing so you may take part in the gentle stretching exercises during yoga. Bring a yoga mat, or let us know ahead of time if you need to borrow one and we'll have one for you there. It is important to arrive on time or even early; 10 minutes is suggested to get settled in. Space is limited.
