The season is upon us when the veil between this world and the next is thin and all around the world different cultures make use of this time with Day of the Dead, All Souls’ Day and more to connect with those who have passed. This is a chance to come together as a community and honor any losses in your life including people, pets, relationships, dreams, or anything else that weighs heavy on your heart. We’ll take time to tune into our ancestors and those who’ve yet to come before us, do a short yoga nidra (guided meditation), chant to honor our losses, and have an optional story time if you would like to share a little about who or what you’ve lost and your experience of grief in a space of understanding and compassion.

Align yourself with the divine qualities of the universe through chanting sanskrit mantras.
In a judgement-free space, we’ll begin with gentle movement to find
comfort in the body, a short story time, and mantra followed by
silent meditation and deep relaxation.
Each month, we will focus a different mantra to chant together as a
group. This can be done anywhere in the spectrum of silently to out
loud. Though we’ll work through the pronunciation together,
mumbling is encouraged! This is open to all bodies, voices, belief
systems and experience levels.
Sliding scale: $10, $15, $20 or $25
*In this workshop, you will learn ways to deal with stress, mental

About Your Trainer:
Cole Schlam, Program Director of Comeback Yoga, E-RYT 500 specializing Trauma-Sensitive Yoga
Cole’s passion is to support everyday people as they safely and playfully step into their own confidence and connect deeply with themselves. Her method of choice: yoga. Yoga can empower individuals physically, mentally, and emotionally. And with some curiosity and openness, it can have lasting benefits that run deep.
Cole has been teaching trauma-informed yoga for over 14 years. While working with an organization for the end of violence against women, Cole regularly witnessed the disconnect that women experiencing physical abuse sometimes have from their bodies. This disconnect is what spurred Cole’s intrigue in the physical body’s place in supporting trauma recovery. She has been with Comeback Yoga since 2020 and is honored to serve the Comeback Yoga community.
