99: Grief Yoga: A Powerful Tool for Healing and Emotional Release
Manage episode 471210989 series 3365992
In this episode, I sit down with Jillene Gallatin, a grief and loss coach and yoga instructor, to explore the power of movement and mindfulness in healing. Jillene shares her deeply personal story of losing her mother to suicide at just 14 years old and how she struggled with isolation in a world that didn’t talk about grief. She opens up about her journey to becoming a pastor, discovering yoga, and ultimately creating Grounded Love for Grief and Loss to help others process their pain through grief yoga and coaching.
Together, we discuss how grief is stored in the body, why releasing emotions is essential, and how yoga can offer a safe and supportive way to reconnect with yourself after loss. Whether you're navigating the pain of losing a loved one, struggling with emotions that feel stuck, or simply looking for new ways to support your healing journey, this conversation is for you.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
- Jillene’s experience with grief after her mother’s suicide and how it shaped her life
- The lack of grief support and resources, especially for teens and suicide loss survivors
- How grief yoga differs from traditional yoga and why movement helps release emotions
- Why grief stays in the body and how recognizing where you hold pain can be a step toward healing
- The difference between grief coaching and therapy, and how each serves a unique purpose
- The importance of allowing yourself to grieve in your own time, despite societal expectations
