*Grief Shares can help you navigate your grief journey in a healthy way by showing up for yourself and others.
*Grief is present in all of our lives in various forms; loss of a loved one, divorce, loss of job, losing a pet, loss of a dream, loss of health, loss of community, worldly grief, natural disasters, war, family issues, and more
*Collective grief reminds us of our interconnectedness. It highlights the shared humanity that binds us, even in the face of profound loss. Shared grief holds the potential to inspire change, foster resilience, and deepen our empathy for one another.
*What we choose to do with our grief matters. Being part of a healing community can help us realize that joy and grief can co-exist.

FREE OFFERING FOR FFYW MEMBERS
FULL BODY MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Join Brenda for a full body myofascial release and restorative practice. Myo refers to muscle; and fascia is the network of connective tissue that surrounds and includes your muscles. Healthy myofascia is key to mobility. Tight myofascial tissue can restrict movement in your muscles and joints. This can lead to widespread pain and discomfort. Fascial release uses a ball, foam roller or yoga block in conjunction with body weight to apply therapeutic pressure to improve the slide and glide of your tissues by eliminating knots and increasing hydration through the act of compressing and releasing, like a sponge. This sequence will help release the most common areas of tension, giving the muscles greater capacity to stretch and move. We will target one area at a time, releasing the fascia then retraining those released muscles to lengthen and engage in gentle yoga poses. The sequence will end with a relaxing restorative practice and savasana.

Lindsay will guide you through a series of accessible yoga postures as Evan facilities the Reiki energy healing—either hands-on or hands-off—to deepen your sense of relaxation, support energetic balance, and enhance your inner awareness.
Perfect for all levels, this class is ideal for anyone seeking a calming, introspective practice that supports emotional healing, stress relief, and energetic harmony.
