Hi yogis, this week's yin yoga class is one that's been requested for a long time now. Grief and sadness can be difficult topics to address but I believe yoga has the power to help us move through these challenging times.
This yin yoga practice will work on the heart and lung meridians and we'll have one affirmation per yoga pose. I recommend journaling at the end of the practice to continue this deep work. Since we're working on the heart and lung meridians, these poses will focus on the upper body. Have two blocks close by and create a safe space for yourself to experience this practice.
The only way out is through. This is not about convincing ourselves that we're "over it", it's about allowing ourselves to feel exactly what we feel, the good and the bad. I'm sending you all of my love.

Thank you Kassandra for this video, and everyone who is practicing here with me like friends.

[@corlissivy1641]

I needed this practice!! It's so timely. I just lost my father, and (after almost 40 years of unconditional love, support, encouragement, and inspiration) am experiencing a pain that is difficult to put into words. My body and energy are holding space for this incredible loss. As I move into month two, I'm finally able to shift into wellness, and gift myself the opportunity of this time - to breathe, reconnect, and ease my way into this next chapter. I'm a therapist, and have had the privilege of holding space for others, during incredibly painful times. I had some struggle in the beginning, letting myself immerse into the movements. The heart opening pose (with the blocks) was the first time, in weeks, that I fully let myself feel all that was moving through me. The affirmations are divine, and so needed. I was in a full weep by the close, and needed that as well. May all of us, in deep grief, be graced with healing, reflective moments....and that we are filled with what we need.

[@sherjohnson100]

Corliss, I usually don’t ever post on any sort of social threads.. but I just felt the need to send you prayer and encouragement when I read this. I haven’t loss my father yet, but I also share a bond with him as you have described. I am grieving having put down our dog of 14+ years yesterday, which has let a lot of previous loss resurface along with thoughts of how I will ever endure losing my dad… so reading that this is the space you are experiencing especially had my heart break. So in the vein of “I am surrounded by support, seen and unseen,” I thought I would just send my unseen support. “My tears are holy and healing” and “I trust in the goodness of life” were a couple that both comforted and challenged me to choose the space of gratitude today… maybe they can also be little reminders or give you whatever you need today or whenever/ if you ever read this💜

[@sherjohnson100]

[@mohammadsh3519]

Dear Kassandra,In my opinion you're the best Yoga instructor on YT. I subscribed to different workout channels but right now I only use your videos for stretching and Yoga. your instructions and explanations are very clear and easy to follow. when I first started doing yoga workouts on KZbin, I injured myself a couple of times. Some instructors only use the traditional terminology for poses and it's not possible to look at the monitor while you're in downward facing dog pose or something similar without changing your body angle and neck position. sometimes you look at monitor and you see they're in a different position but the don't mention the change of position in the exact moment. as a result,Yoga and stretching becomes something boring for me and I was doing it just because I knew it's necessary and and very important for all athletes. But you changed that. so thank you to the power of infinity.

I lost a close friend on Friday (who was only in his early 30s) and I've been struggling with sadness and grief ever since. Friday was also the birth day of my dog who died a little over a year ago at the age 13. I have been grieving his loss every day since he died, so losing a friend on his birthday made that day even harder for me. There have been a lot of tears falling onto my mat lately. I have been doing different yin yoga videos for the last couple of weeks, since getting covid and not feeling up to doing any other kinds of yoga, specifically the different meridian/affirmation videos that you have. I must say that my daily morning yoga practice has been a saving grace for me. I am so grateful for all of the wonderful videos that you create. I feel like there is a video for everything I am going through. Your affirmations have really helped me get through these hard times. In the past I would have self sabotaged and ran away from these hard feelings, but since incorporating yoga and meditation into my schedule I have learned to process and work through my sadness/grief/pain. I am beyond grateful for your channel. Thank you so much for everything you do. You've truly been a lifesaver for me this last year. I have made so much progress in my yoga journey as well as in my personal growth journey. I truly couldn't have gotten this far without you! Thank YOU! Thank YOU!

Thank you Kassandra. My mum passed away last night and this practice really helped me.

[@emmyholtsman4318]

today I've been dealing with a lot of remorse and sadness. so many of these affirmations resonated with me. From "the only way out is through," "i let go of my resistance towards this situation," "each day my heart opens up a little bit more," "i trust in the goodness of life," "i relax and allow feelings to move through me," to"there is no rushing out of grief and sadness." Throughout this practice, my stomach gurgled, eye pulsated, and I sobbed hysterically. I can't say i feel happier now after completing the practice, but I'm grateful for experiencing the range of emotions and thoughts that emerged. I'm so glad I worked up the courage to even partake in this session because if I hadn't, I'd be sitting and rotting in a corner (which isn't necessarily bad), but trying out an approach I wouldn't normally opt for is quite delightful, refreshing, and eye opening. This is one of the longest yoga practices I've ever done & I'd love to see more content that embraces these difficult emotions. As someone who's avoided and ran away from their feelings (despite being an overly emotional and sensitive person), it feels so good to just allow myself to feel again and tune in with every sensation within my body. Thank you so much Kassandra I really needed this :)

My prayer at the end is always also for you. Your being and what you let out from it is healing me, priest sister. ❤

[@monicaoizumi9876]

This yoga class with Kassandra came to me at the right moment to help me go "though" grief. A moment in which I felt deep emotions of sadness, but joy as well. Joy in the comfort that this will pass too, and it is okay to be sad. I don't have to live in sadness, but I will allow me to feel it, without numbing it, distracting myself for it, or drowning it. Just feel. Thank you K. Always.

Today my dog of 12 years passed. The affirmation that my tears are holy really resonated and brought home the love we shared throughout this time. Exactly what I needed on this hard hard day

[@YilingDanceofLife]

I never cried through practice Yoga. It released the emotion that I should let it go. I have dedicated this to myself that I have taken care others most of time but forgotten of my own needs for a long time. Thank you Kassandra. I want to give you a hug for everything and for this loving, compassionate video yet very powerful! 🙏❤️

[@wunchan9406]

Thank you Kassandra for this practice, yoga has been an helping hand and answer to my own physical and mental issues. This has helped on my own journey and I hope others can find a release too.

I just lost my brother one week ago, he also took his own life, and am hoping this practice can help me in some way.

[@hollydavidson501]

@@tamaralong2931 I am so sorry to hear about your loss-- this does seem to help🙏🙏

[@lilox9852]

My heart feels more warm and safe now, with less judgement or suppression of any emotion. Thank you for teaching how to respect Self.

[@NickiTedesco]

Thank you Kassandra, I’m mourning loss right now and so glad to be able to do this practice with you.

[@e.figaro9621]

Sorry for your loss. I m mourning as well and sometimes it feels that it will never get better... but then II remember to Be brave. do not Forget that you are not Alone. ✌️❤️

Thank you for this dearest Kassandra 💖

My tears are holy and healing new motto✅🙏🏻 sending all prayers comfort so we are all accepting of our grief

[@ah_riun]

Thank you so much for this practice! I hope you never delete this from KZbin because I use this video every time I go through grief and sadness. This is such a gift!

[@jenniferbower6286]

I do your yoga daily, every morning. I needed a grief & loss session. My sweet baby girl crossed the rainbow bridge 3 days ago. She was only 5 years old. My heart hurts so much. I cried during this, spoke to her telling her she is the bestest girl. Zoe was the best Frenchie, the bestest friend to me. I’m healing but the hurt stings so much. Thank you for this 🫶🏼💜😭

[@CG-rv9kr]

My pom crossed last Thursday night... around the same time. ❤❤❤ my thoughts are with you

[@jenniferbower6286]

@CG-rv9kr Oh, I am so sorry to hear this, my thoughts are with you. They crossed together and are playing with each other now. Zoe was a French bulldog.

[@yuanbysougrigarshamantnmet7355]

Thank you, Kassandra, for this very powerful & much-needed class for me. This has got to be my favourite sequence & affirmations of yours so far! Almost a year ago, I lost my pet dog of 13.5 years. I thought that I've been working on myself as I heal from this, but subconsciously a part of me hasn't been facing this truth, which I only just realised today. This class helped me reached a place within me that I am too scared to face all by myself, even when I tried to. I hope that anyone reading this comment will feel connected to the inner love from within like I do now and that you know that you're not alone if you've been working on 'moving on' for a really long time; cos grief has no timeline & there is no 'sufficient amount of time for mourning. To all of you out there who feels the same way I do now, the light in me sees the light in you and I send my unconditional love to you. Namaste!

[@zitaperales5136]

Today I choose to heal... crying with the first affirmation. Thanks, Kassandra for all your hard work in this world.

[@CharleCamus]

"My heart opens a bit more everyday" With all the suffering around me, I find myself hardening more and more each day. Thank you for this affirmation. With more compassion, I will trust the goodness of life. Namaste, everyone!

[@lllbog]

Thank you for reminding me that my tears are healing and holy.

[@michelewhalen1611]

Thank you for this practice. Today marks the fifth year of my Mom”s passing and I really needed this class. 🙏🏻

[@darasnyder976]

Your timing is amazing! Thank you so very, very much.

[@debrabringenberg1137]

I, too, am faced with losing my dearest dog to cancer & I can’t imagine living without this God-like creature. Thanks, Kassandra, for this valuable yoga class. I am sure I will be using it frequently in the coming months.

[@trandlenottrandall5184]

For my dear friend who broke our hearts and lost her battle yesterday. To say you will be sadly missed is an understatement of just how amazing and positive you were. 💔💞

[@AlmandinePugs]

Beautiful ❤ I wanted to watch it through before dusting the cobwebs off my mat. Just my first watch brought a release of tears. I've been "stuck" since a big bereavement 7 months ago and I have a good feeling that this practice will help me move through, accept, and heal. Thank you

[@amandatkids854]

Kassandra, your timing is profound with this as my family is coping with our very very dear loved one with little time left with us. Ommmmm. Makes my eyes fill up just seeing this, and I will embrace it as a healing gift! I thank you and so look forward to doing this practice with you! Your huge fan, Amanda

[@yogawithkassandra]

I'm so sorry to hear that Amanda. Sending you love xx

[@amandatkids854]

Yoga with Kassandra thank you Kassandra! And I feel it. Through your words and this healing, calming practice you’re about to do with us all! You truly are a gift to me, to many!

[@artmustangjane]

Thank you so much for your love and kindness 💖

[@xinwei9170]

Thank you for your affirmations. I felt really emotional today, homesick, sad, and anxious. Your affirmations suddenly remind me of the time when I was at home, and suddenly I feel like I'm surrounded by those old-time joy.

[@fakie9]

Kassandra, thank you for creating this beautiful practice to help move through grief. Thank you for the reminder to allow the feelings to move through and be anchored in the affirmations.

[@TheDenihunter]

Such a special practise Kassandra, Generous and healing and wise. Blessings to you and sending love in union with all those grieving. Sending healing .Sending love. Namaste. ❤️❤️❤️

[@kkatyusa]

Best of the best for me. Interestingly, without losing any person, this theme helps me a lot in terms of moving on and not clinging to the past events, pain, sadness and insults of things having happened the way they did. The affirmations are so perfectly guiding me in my life situation right now. It is a gift for me, I am truly honoured. Thank you. Greetings from Hungary.

[@IngridHeerkens]

Kata Pászti so true! Thank you for this comment 🙏

[@emmaheftman3880]

Thank you so much. This really let me acknowledge and accept what I was feeling with so much compassion. So so beautiful

[@mscott5583]

Thank you so appreciated this heart felt practice remembering my son

[@nickyrobinson64]

Thank you so much for this much needed practice. Grief catches you at any time and can take any form. Today I realised that I need help to cope. I lost my daughter two months ago. It is more than just that of course, because she was a Mother too, and I am grieving for the her loss to her children, and husband, and sister, and friends. The pain cannot be described. My heart goes out to everyone in any grieving process. Loving thanks to you Kassandra.

[@carlygootee9672]

I found this practice awhile back and it stuck with me in a time of need, now months later I return to it as the sacred mountain land that I call home is affected by one of the largest wildfires in California's history, thank you for allowing me the space to open my heart and sit with the grief, channeling it through movement and breath, the sending of my prayer at the end brought tears to my eyes, freeing me to feel the emotions locking themselves within, forever grateful for you and your work Kassandra.

[@user-xi9ci5om4g]

I just lost a very loving friend just 2 days ago. I am looking for solace in facing the grief and guilt.n Thank you Kassandra. I'm sure this will help.

[@blink7589]

Thank you, Kassandra. I am new to your channel but am already deeply grateful for even my short time practicing here. My brother died two weeks ago. This session was beautiful and healing. I'll be coming back to it often to avoid the distractions and numbing and lean into the grief. Especially as the stress of life picks back up and tries to pull me from this healing journey. Thank you.

[@yogawithkassandra]

I'm so sorry for your loss xx

[@mairavp]

Thank you, Kassandra!

[@faemoonfire694]

Thank you for your beautiful practice. My dog that was with me for a whole decade of my life passed away last week and I'm heartbroken. I'm trying to sort through some tough emotions from being stricken with grief to wondering how to live a life and new routines or keep on doing the old things. I am at such a loss as to how to sort through all of this. And this practice allowed me to be honest with several truths that I have been scared to say out loud because I'm not ready for a new 'normal'.
