A Yoga Sequence to Help You Manage the Loss of Identity.

Identity is a complex and multifaceted concept. It is shaped by our experiences, relationships, and values. When we lose someone or something that is important to us, it can be difficult to know who we are anymore. This can lead to a sense of loss of identity and grief.

Yoga can be a helpful tool for processing loss and grief. The physical postures can help to release tension in the body, and the breath-work can help to calm the mind and emotions.

It is important to listen to your body during this sequence and take breaks when needed. If you feel any pain, stop the pose and come out of it.

This yoga sequence can be a helpful way to process the loss of identity and grief. The physical postures can help to release tension in the body, and also to help to calm the mind and emotions.
