Your students with cancer are grieving. Learn about what is happening for them and how you can help.

This 13 minute talk will help you become informed about the types of grief commonly experienced following a diagnosis and about grief's impact on physical and mental health. You will learn what you can do to help, including how to create a safe space for people in grief and what yoga practices can be most beneficial. Please see my "Grief Support Practice" video for a short practice which you or your student can do anywhere to ease grief symptoms.
