This grief & loss workshop will include:
- Welcome and Introduction - invocation, brief overview + safe space to share.
- Understanding Grief - discussion of the different types of grief & common reactions and feelings associated with grief.
- Coping Strategies - introduce healthy coping mechanisms + the importance of self-care.
- Sharing Stories: Living Memories - a space for participants to share memories or stories about loved ones.
- Yoga/Body+Mind+Spirit Integration - specific asana in correlation to grief & loss and Yoga Nidra to support healing in these realms.
- Closing Circle - share insights, takeaways. Discussion of resources.
Joanna will be facilitating exploration of specific questions around grief and encouraging people to share what brought them to the group space. She highly encourages anyone to participate and wants people to know that their grief is valid & invites people to drop any type of comparison to others in this space, such as “their grief or my grief is worse”. One person’s grief or loss is not better or worse compared to another- it simply is what it is. She hopes to create a safe container for people to share openly and plans to identify group guidelines to create this safe container.
Michelina will be holding space for the body incorporation alongside mind and spirit within the realms of grief and loss. There will be opportunity to move through specific shapes that support you in tapping into the sensations that naturally take place when connecting and feeling into the concepts of this offering. This will follow with a Yoga Nidra guided meditation that will serve as healing in navigating through the emotions, coping, and responses to your losses.
Please bring any item(s) that you may feel called to have with you in this sweet evening of opening your heart & navigating grief.

Join us in Divine frequency : a journey with soul and sound + herbal infusions.
Each month is an opportunity to come home to yourself, connect, release what no longer serves you, and open space to receive what is meant for you. A chance to go within and connect to the your truth. Leaving the noise of the outside world behind.
As you settle in and begin to connect you will be supported with healing energies, intentionally curated vibrations, and the medicine of sound. Surrounded by an array of extraordinary instruments. Open your spirit to the grounding energies and magic of the gongs, Tibetan bowls along with the alchemy crystal bowls, and many more. All while being transported to an ethereal space of expansion as the energies shift to support your journey. Each sound experience built on the energies of love and connection. Each instrument aligned to complement your journey with ease and grace. The frequencies of the instruments gently realign your energies promoting relaxation and restoration. Allowing you to emerge from this experience feeling grounded, refreshed, and at peace.
Please come in whatever feels supportive and comfortable to you. We suggest to bring blankets, pillows, and any other items that will be helpful to create and honor a state of relaxation for you.
Herbal infusions will be offered for integration & in sealing up this sweet time.
Come with an open mind, an open heart, and honor yourself.

Find your yoga, emerge from the heart.
In My Yoga Teacher Training you will dive within and lead from the portal of the heart - personal consciousness, wisdom, intuition, and love. This is a time in your life to open yourself to the vastness of possibility available to you - a gateway toward your purpose, grounding with clarity of who you are - and who you are becoming. My Yoga teacher training will keenly connect to the inner yoga and study of self. The inward focus will enrich & deepen your yoga alongside the path of expanding your practice & developing into an authentic teacher - shining your energy and heart within & alongside the rich yoga heritage.
The lineage of this school streams from Astanga & Bhakti - but this training will infuse alternate descents + focus on your essence & experience, your yoga.
The forefront of this training will begin with honor in the foundations of Philosophy + History of yoga alongside a practical approach to teaching. You will begin to study & cue the yoga asanas & pranayama in week two and throughout the rest of the yoga school. You will develop your niche in teaching & sprinkle in themes + your heart.
Furthermore, study and absorption of Chakras, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Pranayama, Music & Mantra, Meditation, Prenatal Yoga, Anatomy, Physiology, Biomechanics, Koshas, Mudras, Business of Yoga, Unique sequencing, Hands on Adjustments, and so much more will be a part of this beautiful journey.
The intention of this school being a 5.5 month program is that you not only learn how to teach yoga, but you live yoga, you become yoga - you find your yoga & emerge from the heart!
Created by Michelina Payetta + guest teachers Madison Canary-Onufer & Wendy Hassenpflug in 2023-2024. Offered with immense love & gratitude for the practice of yoga & all who were the teachers who taught the students - who became teachers - who taught the students…as the ancestry continues with My Yoga Teacher Training.
