“The body is the first home for our grief, starting with the feeling of our hearts breaking. Grief often tries to flow through our bodies and finds itself at an impasse or with no way out. Words that crave to be heard or emotions that attempt to release are often pushed down into a lump in our throat. Anger finds itself running in furious circles, voiceless and unheard. Our gut instincts are ignored because its elegant alarm system is mistrusted. Our bodies are the container for our every experience. They have intelligence and experience and support us and need support from us at every turn. When we look at our grief and its accompanying emotions through the lens of neuroscience and movement science, we begin to understand how trauma-informed movement and mindfulness practices can help us bear and sometimes even befriend our grief. This approach acknowledges where and how the emotions lodge themselves in our bodies and honors the innate healing ability of every human being and every human body. The intention is not to fix, but to create space and awareness for grief to move in and to move out. To find the pockets of love hiding behind the hurt. To nurture a harmonious sense of being full of life and full of loss.” Monique Minahan
Join Shelley Pentony, certified in Yoga for Grief, Trauma Informed Yoga & many other healing yoga and mindfulness practices, in this 3 week series. Whether grieving the loss of a loved one, life before the pandemic, life before a life changing medical diagnosis, a loss of a relationship or anything else that resonates as loss or grief to you. Learn how body based practices can support your whole body - the physical body, emotional body and the breath body. Begin to gain tools and strategies for regulating your nervous system, learning to stay and support yourself during challenging emotions and to feel more resourced and connected to yourself and the present moment.

Several yoga classes at Sol Yoga are often practiced in a circle. When we check in with students about their experience and how it landed for them, we hear the same response over and over again - “it created a sense of community”. We couldn’t agree more. We feel it too - community, a deeper sense of connection to the practice, a sense of belonging that comes from being seen, equality and an opportunity to practice letting go of attachments. Many times, when students first enter the studio and notice all the mats in a big circle rather than the usual yoga studio set up - teacher at the front of the class and all the students lined up in rows, it provides a little pause and even sometimes some ambivalence. It’s challenging to let go of that favorite spot, or to realize that what is usually the norm has changed. Aside from our intentions to build community, belonging and a shared experience of equality for all who enter, we also pull from what the history of yoga teaches us. The yamas and niyamas are yoga’s ethical guidelines laid out in the first two limbs of Patanjali’s eightfold path. They’re like a map written to guide you on your life’s journey. The 5th Yama is aparigraha, which translates to non-attachment and non-greed. Aparigraha reminds us not to become attached to the outcome of a situation. Instead, it invites us to step right into the present moment. Focusing on what is true right here and right now creates embodied safety and almost always delivers us to a more centered and grounded self. It frees us up to appreciate the reverence around us rather than clinging to how we want or wish things would be. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this and any feedback or felt experiences you have had when practicing in circle with us. Drop us a comment below and send us a DM to share. #community #belonging #equality #yoga #yogasutrasofpatanjali #aparigraha #nonattachment #itsallyoga #frederickmd #joinus #youbelonghere

Did you know that our local Frederick Health is one of the few medical centers that offers Oncology Yoga for their patients? Oncology Yoga helps builds bone density, promotes lymph drainage, and supports the overwhelming emotions that often arrive after a cancer diagnosis. Hosted by Shelley Pentony and Annie Quinlan, teachers at the integrative clinic at the James Stockman Institute at Frederick Health as well as Sol Yoga, our students began to learn how to teach yoga for this specific environment. The weekend included: - asana clinic using recommendations from @yoga4cancer - practicing with chair yoga and appropriate props (with a simulation of common side effects like lymphedema) - Breathing practices to calm the nervous system - Metta meditations to encourage self-compassion - sharing and holding space for each other 💛 Thank you to our all the teachers who joined us this weekend training. We hope the impact will stretch far beyond our walls! 💛For anyone looking for resources about oncology yoga, our local institute, or how to join a future training, please message us.
