The mind-body regimen helps people find strength within themselves, even as they gradually let go of a lost loved one.
Plenty of Americans use yoga for health problems, whether it's backaches, neurological symptoms or joint stiffness. But what about emotional issues? Can yoga help heal the wounds that come with grief, loss and mourning?
According to a group of holistic experts, it can. Grief counselor and yoga instructor David Mitchell told the Louisville Courier-Journal that the mind-body regimen helps people find strength within themselves, even as they gradually let go of a lost loved one.
"We hold grief physically within ourselves?and you see that reflected in tight muscles, new aches and pains, stomachaches, headaches," he told the newspaper. "You see even people's faces kind of locked up."
Mitchell is right that the regimen is perfect for this kind of self-healing. A study published in the International Journal of Yoga Therapy found that the mind-body treatment can improve positivity, vitality and mood in people who lost someone dear to them.
For these reasons, Mitchell and his colleagues teach yoga for a healthy mind during depression and grief. Their sessions are designed to help mourning practitioners cope with loss, find themselves and even learn to laugh again ? all of which are benefits that Dahn Yoga's Shim Sung classes can also provide.
