Denniston, founder of the Grief Yoga program, uses his own experience and expertise gained from innumerable classes, retreats, and workshops to help readers create a yoga ritual that can transform pain and suffering into fuel for healing. The practice of yoga enables people to become present in their own bodies, thus allowing wounds to surface and be compassionately embraced. Denniston provides clear instructions for poses that cycle through awareness, expression, connection, surrender, and evolution, all designed to alleviate suffering and promote grace and kindness.

VERDICT Excellent step-by-step guidance for releasing grief and adapting to an unwanted new normal.
