“Pain gets suppressed in the body either consciously or subconsciously. I think this isn’t talked about enough. When you start to express that suppressed pain in any sort of movement, not just yoga, it allows you to release heaviness in the body.”

In this episode of Bounce Back Stronger, host Donna Ferris delves into the healing power of yoga and meditation with grief yoga teacher Kim Bernardo.

After experiencing profound personal loss, Kim turned to yoga and now guides others to find strength and resilience through her specialized grief yoga practice.

Discover Kim’s unique blend of yoga and meditation techniques that help her students achieve resilience and peace amidst grief. Kim also shares three essential yoga postures designed to release pain and bring a sense of calm. Tune in to learn how yoga and other movement practices can transform your healing journey.
