Jason and I have known each other for about 20 years now. I still remember the day that he and his wife showed up in the Inner Quest Intensive at Kripalu. A more adorable couple I had never met. Jason and Tracy, affectionately known as 'Trason' came back and assisted in the program with us for many years. Their compassion and personal healing path were one of the things that kept me coming back to volunteer at Kripalu year after year. Very early in the program I learned about Jason's sister who had passed and watched as he bravely did the work to integrate that trauma. I am proud to have Jason as a guest speaker in our Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher Training Program.

Grief and the Shariras: Layers of Being
w/ Jason Wendroff-Rawnicki

Do you feel like you are alone in your grief? Do you feel like you are going crazy?Know your life will never be the same again.

I was there too. When I lost my sister in1998, there were very few resources available. And, the ones that were did not help me to manage my grief. For the last 20 years I have been studying yoga, meditation, psychology, mindfulness, healthy lifestyle and personal development. I have woven all the effective tools together to help me thrive while working through my grief.

Imagine your life with hope. See yourself being happy again. What would it feel like to love your friends and family more deeply? Reclaim your life and live your true purpose. 

In this 1.5 hour workshop, you will learn to:

• Define what grief means to you.
• Create simple habits to restore your body's vitality.
• Breathe through your feelings so they don’t get stuck.
• Break the cycle of those spiralling thoughts.

Grief is a journey that we are all on. It changes over time. But with the right tools, we can live a happy, healthy, vibrant life while on that journey. I would give anything to have my sister back, and, I am grateful that my grief journey has made me the person I am today.
