Healing Through Movement, Breath & Community
Gentle yoga, breathwork, and grief support designed to help you feel less alone and more at peace.
Grief is exhausting.
And it doesn’t live only in the heart — it lives in the body, too.
Since 2014, Yoga for Your Grieving Heart has offered a compassionate, body-based approach to grief support through gentle yoga, breathwork, and community.
This supportive 6-week series offers space to breathe, move, and be with your grief alongside others who understand.
No fixing. No rushing.
Just support, compassion, and care.
Who is this for?
This offering is for you if you are grieving the death of someone you love and:
feel emotionally and physically depleted
are carrying grief in your body, not just your thoughts
long for a space where your experience is understood
want gentle support without pressure to “move on”
You don’t need yoga experience.
You don’t need the “right” words.
You just need to arrive as you are.
How This 6-Week Series Gently Supports You
Over six weeks, we move slowly and consistently — giving your grief a place to land.
A small, steady group that meets together each week
A compassionate community circle with others who understand loss
Time to speak, listen, or simply be present — at your own pace
Gentle, restorative yoga postures to soothe the heart and body
Simple breathing practices to support your nervous system

No previous yoga experience is needed.
All bodies are welcome. All grief is welcome.
Being held in a supportive community can be a powerful reminder:
you do not have to carry this alone.
You’re not alone in this
People sometimes arrive feeling unsure — carrying grief in their bodies, wondering if it will feel safe to share, move, or even just be quiet. Here are a few reflections from those who have taken part in Yoga for Your Grieving Heart.
“You have created such a safe and sacred space. I will carry it with me.”
“I used to feel very much alone in my grief. Now I feel part of something—connected, accepted, and free to be myself.”
“I’m not crazy. What I’m experiencing is normal. Hearing others in a similar place helped me feel less alone.”
“This class completely changed my life. I learned tools to heal deep soul sadness and to feel every painful and beautiful emotion as part of the journey.
”
“I experienced a sense of peace and learned techniques to use when I can’t sleep. Being heard and hearing others helped me realize I’m not alone.”
“Hearing my own voice express my grief out loud to caring people was probably the most helpful. Knowing we had a beginning, middle, and end helped me move through the grieving process. I loved the yoga—especially the restorative parts.”
“Your class was like a bowl of nourishing soup for me. This is such meaningful work.”

In 2014, long-time yoga instructor, Susannah Sanfilippo created Yoga for your Grieving Heart because she was stunned by the power of her grief when her father unexpectedly passed away in 2012. She found herself emotionally and physically walloped and disconcerted by the lack of empathic support. Susannah’s mother died in 2017 and yoga practice has been a major healing component of her grieving process.
Susannah is registered with NACYT (National Association of Certified Yoga Teachers), certified by YogaSpirit and is a Yoga Warriors International Instructor, a Y12SR instructor (Yoga for 12-Step Recovery), an OurMala Certificate-Holder and a Laughter Yoga Instructor. She is thrilled to be an affiliated instructor with Sea Change Yoga.
Susannah believes that grief is Normal, Natural and Necessary
