YOGA for GRIEF RELIEF

Yoga for Grief Relief combines the practice of yoga with bereavement support. It is specifically designed to support body, mind, and spirit through the grief process. Yoga postures can assist in working through symptoms associated with grief such as poor sleep, intense emotions and holding stress in the body.

While we don't have talented dogs to assist us, we do have a wonderful yoga teacher and an experienced grief counselor to lead the class. Marilyn Eberhart, our teacher, and Maureen Emerling, our grief counselor, lead the class through breathing exercises, gentle yoga poses and guided relaxation.  Yoga sessions provide a safe space to explore thoughts and feelings in mind and body.

Join us every Wednesday at 5 PM, First Lutheran Church Old Fellowship Hall, 109 W. Third St., Warren. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Call 814-723-8060.
