Standing Forward Bend

From child’s pose, press up onto your hands and knees, then come up to standing. For this next pose, you will need a chair, couch, bed, or table.

Standing in front of the chair, widen your feet to hip distance (or as wide as your yoga mat if you have tight legs or lower back), bend forward, and place your head and arms on the chair for support. Depending on the flexibility of your body, you may be able to use the seat, or you may need to use the back rest (or a higher surface). In this pose, your legs should take the weight of the pose so at any time you can lift your head easily.

Grief can be erratic. Your body may feel tired or physically drained and completely mentally unsettled. A paradox, but it’s because the body and mind experience the stress of grief in different ways. Often the body wants to slow down, rest, be still. One can feel heavy and slow to move, react, and respond. Yet the mind tries to figure out the un-figure-out-able, which makes it work harder to “fix” grief, resulting in disorganized thinking, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating.
