About
Yoga for Grief Relief, led by Antonio Sausys, is a somatic psychotherapeutic process using Yoga techniques as somatic tools to address the physical, mental, and spiritual symptoms of grief towards self-re-identification following an important loss. The practice developed by Antonio Sausys is a six-part sequence: breathing exercises, body movements, cleansing techniques, relaxation, mental reprogramming, and meditation. This approach offers relief from grief by utilizing the techniques of yoga to transform the self, left vacant by loss but open to receiving the knowledge that exists within. Antonio Sausys has extensive experience in yoga and psychology, and his unique approach focuses on the meaning of the poses and their relevance and usefulness in dealing with and enriching life. He is highly trained in combining the skills of traditional psychology and the practice of yoga for healing and personal growth. The practice offers individual sessions, Skype sessions, retreats, and group series to help individuals move through the pain of loss to find release and relief. With a focus on the balance between the mind, body, and spirit, Antonio Sausys creates an individual 'Sadhana' (a daily practice routine) for each person, addressing postures and mental focus that fortify each person's ability. The practice is based in Fairfax, CA, and serves individuals who are seeking a compassionate and gentle approach to managing grief.
