New research has validated what yoga students have long known to be true: after yoga classes, they have elevated chemicals associated with heartiness, energy & self esteem!  And  improvement of their Depression symptoms.  Lorna is an advocate of both hospice caregivers and yoga students of all ages and levels of fitness.  Here she outlines the basic rationale for a gentle approach to beginning yoga postures which open the heart and throat chakras, which become blocked when one experiences grief.  This concise booklet offers a simple explanation of the special application of yoga's genius to the unique body-mind of those suffering from loss.

Brief discussions of the differences between normal grief, depression and complicated grief are discussed.  Students depicting the poses are all ages and fitness levels, often in natural outdoor settings.

The yoga mind set, affirmations, philosophy and a meditation introduction are included.
