Grief happens frequently during midlife. Yoga offers a unique perspective and valuable tools to navigate this complex terrain.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, a foundational text of yoga philosophy, outlines an eightfold path towards self-realization. Within this framework, the Yamas (ethical principles) and Niyamas (self-observances) provide a guiding light through midlife grief. The Yamas cultivate compassion in our interactions with the world, including ourselves, while the Niyamas invite us to build inner strength and self-awareness.
How can the Yamas & Niyamas support us in navigating grief?
The Yamas like Ahimsa (non-violence) encourage self-compassion, while Satya (truthfulness) invites us to acknowledge our emotions with honesty. The Niyamas, such as Saucha (cleanliness) and Santosha (contentment), can help us create a supportive environment and find moments of peace amidst the sadness.
Grief, a natural response to loss, can manifest in various ways, affecting not only our emotions but also our physical and mental well-being. This blog post explores how grief can impact you and offers practical suggestions for navigating this challenging journey.

Rasa Sadhana is a Yogic practice that focuses on the cultivation of the nine rasas, or emotions. It can help us to better understand ourselves and our emotions, and to learn to manage them in a healthy way. Read the blog post for more!
