Hospice to host Gentle Yoga for Grief workshop

Community members are invited to a free, six-week yoga workshop aimed at connecting the mind, body and heart of those who have experienced the loss of a loved one. Gentle Yoga for Grief will be held Fridays from 10 to 11 a.m., through November 15 at the Toledo Hospice Center, 800 South Detroit Avenue.

Grieving is a holistic journey. Yoga can help participants find their center and ease the pain of grief. All people regardless of fitness level, age or flexibility are encouraged to attend. This class offers yoga for all bodies and abilities.

Conducted by a certified yoga instructor, who specializes in yoga for all bodies, participants will work through the energetic and emotional blocks of grief to find peace.

Classes are free and open to anyone in the community. Advance registration is required. Attendees should wear comfortable clothing; bring water, a mat and small towel or pillow. A small supply of yoga mats will be available for those who need one.

For more information or to register, contact the Hospice Bereavement Department at 419-661-4001. To learn more about grief and loss or Hospice of Northwest Ohio, visit hospicenwo.org.
