“When you go through something really big, like a grief experience, there are so many ways you can either be stuck in that, or be totally disconnected because there’s so much happening. I love the yoga practice because it really encourages us to approach our bodies with capacity building and care. The practice is intended to help us find an internal gaze awareness that we eventually bring out into how we live in the world, and yoga guides us to do this in a very mindful way."
