Grief Yoga® Workshop for the Holiday Season
Harold Leever Regional Cancer Center | 1075 Chase Parkway, Waterbury
Grief during the holidays can feel especially heavy — like the world is celebrating while your heart is
quietly aching. This workshop is a place where you don’t have to hide that pain. It’s a safe space to be with what’s real, to becomes aware of your emotions, to move gently through them, and to remember you are not alone.
Holding Space for the Heart is a two-hour Grief Yoga® experience rooted in breath, movement,
sound, and stillness — designed to help you soften into your grief, release what you’re carrying, and
open your heart to connection, love, and inner strength.
Grief Yoga®, developed by Paul Denniston, is a healing modality, not about physical flexibility, but
about emotional liberation. Grief Yoga is for anyone navigating loss, change, or heartbreak, and it
welcomes all bodies and levels of experience.
During our time together, you'll be invited to:
- Begin with a brief guided journaling session (journal provided)
- Learn how Grief Yoga works to support emotional release and resilience
- Move through a 75-minute Grief Yoga practice using breath, movement and sound
- Rest in a short, guided meditation to ground and restore
- Share, reflect, or simply listen during an optional closing circle
No yoga experience is necessary. Practice may be done on a yoga mat or in a chair. All bodies, all emotions and all experiences of grief are welcome.
- Cost: $45 per person, cash or Venmo accepted
- Registration is required. To register, visit tinyurl.com/HoldingSpace16NOV2026
