Yoga Therapy for Grief

Yoga Therapy for Grief is a self-paced online yoga and wellness training designed to support yoga teachers, wellness professionals, and individuals navigating the emotional and physiological complexities of grief. Approved by Yoga Alliance for 20 continuing education units (CEUs), this course offers a trauma-informed, integrative approach to healing that honors the full spectrum of the grieving process—meeting it with presence, compassion, and embodied support. Rooted in the principles of yoga therapy and informed by somatic psychology and neuroscience, this training explores how grief is held in the body, mind, and subtle energy systems. You’ll learn how the nervous system responds to loss, how unresolved grief can manifest physically and emotionally, and how therapeutic yoga tools can gently support regulation, release, and resilience. Course content includes practices in breathwork, guided meditation, journaling, and self-inquiry—all tailored to help process grief in a safe, grounded, and supportive way. You’ll also explore the koshas, chakras, and energetic signatures of grief, gaining tools to address both acute and long-term loss from a holistic perspective.

Why Train with My Vinyasa Practice?

Led by Michelle Young, C-IAYT Yoga Therapist, educator, and expert in anatomy, physiology, movement science, and yoga philosophy, My Vinyasa Practice (MVP) delivers a truly integrative and accessible approach to yoga education. With a trauma-informed, inclusive lens, MVP honors the multidimensional nature of the human experience—addressing both the physical and energetic body in a way that is grounded, empowering, and sustainable. Michelle’s unique background in biochemistry, education, functional movement, and therapeutic yoga ensures that students receive a comprehensive, evidence-informed education that bridges the wisdom of modern science with the depth of ancient yogic tradition. Her teaching goes beyond surface-level instruction to explore the “why” behind the practices, helping students build confidence, competence, and a deeper understanding of the body-mind connection.

Why Choose Our Yoga Therapy for Grief?

Grief is not just an emotional experience—it’s a full-body, lived reality that can impact our physical health, nervous system, and overall well-being. Yet most approaches to grief focus solely on the mind, often overlooking the body’s vital role in healing. Yoga Therapy for Grief offers a compassionate, evidence-informed path for those who are ready to explore grief from a holistic, embodied perspective. Students choose this course because it provides more than theoretical knowledge—it offers practical, therapeutic yoga tools to gently meet grief where it lives: in the breath, the body, the heart, and the subtle energy systems. 

Amanda Ruiz

I enrolled in Yoga Therapy for Grief shortly after losing my father, and I truly believe this course helped me move from simply surviving to gently healing. The practices were grounding and deeply compassionate, and Michelle’s teachings felt like a warm, steady presence. This wasn’t just educational—it was transformational.

David Chen

As a clinician and yoga instructor, I’ve worked with many clients experiencing grief, but this course gave me a new framework rooted in the body and subtle energy systems. I appreciated the balance of science and spirituality, and I’ve already used several of the tools in my sessions. Highly recommend for professionals in healing fields.

Sheila Morgan

Grief has lived in my body for years after the loss of my son, and this course helped me reconnect with myself in ways I didn’t expect. The breathwork and Yoga Nidra practices were incredibly soothing. I’ve taken many grief trainings, but this one felt the most holistic and human. I’m so grateful for this experience.
