Hospice Volunteers of Waterville Area plans to offer a yoga session in the garden as part of a series of workshops for those grieving the death of a loved one.

It will begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 17, in the Hospice Community Center Healing Garden at 304 Main St. in Waterville.

Yoga instructor Beth Jones will lead a session of trauma sensitive yoga geared towards those grieving a significant loss. Trauma sensitive yoga methodology is a combination of modified hatha yoga forms that encourage experiences of empowerment.

The emphasis is not on the external expression but on the internal experience of the participant.

All workshops will be held in the center’s healing garden and led by community professionals and trained hospice bereavement volunteers.

Registration is required. For more information or to register, contact Jillian Roy, bereavement coordinator, at 207-873-3615 or jroy@hvwa.org.
