LexiYoga's video: 5 Yoga Poses for Grief Relief

Grief is hard to handle, especially when there is stress due to many other reasons impacting our everyday lives. Losing a person, relationship, job or even a pet, is nothing less than a heavy weight on the mind and body. Yoga has the unique ability to rejuvenate both mental peace and physical strength. 1. CHILD'S POSE – Balasana Child’s pose is an excellent pose that has a calming effect on the nervous system, and helps clear the mind of any negative thought. It works on muscle groups within the body and can be a natural therapy for relieving stress, anxiety, fatigue and depression. 2. RECLINING SPINAL TWIST – Supta Jathara Parivartanasana Reclining spinal twist stimulates the kidneys, abdominal organs, urinary bladder and intestines. It releases stress and lengthens the spine. You can hang out in this pose for an extended period of time, and the longer you stay, the more your body will let go and surrender. 3. BRIDGE POSE – Setu Bandhasana Bridge pose relieves stress in the tired back muscles and stretches the spine and neck. The pose also decreases stress, anxiety and depression as it has a calming effect on the brain. 4. LEGS UP THE WALL – Viparita Karani The ‘legs up the wall’ pose is a favorite among yoga lovers. The pose calms the mind, relieves anxiety, eases menstrual cramps and gently stretches the lower back, legs and hamstrings. 5. CORPSE POSE - Savasana Corpse pose enables a deep, relaxing state that helps reduce anxiety. The corpse pose also reduces blood pressure and insomnia. It is usually used to end a yoga session for its rejuvenating properties. I will be eternally grateful!
