Grief is a labyrinth, with twists and turns that can leave you feeling lost and untethered. This past year, as I grappled with the unimaginable loss of my child, I found myself reaching for anything that could anchor me. That lifeline came in the form of Kundalini yoga at Delta Groove Yoga—a sanctuary where healing, community, and a sense of sacred purpose converge.
I came to Delta Groove Yoga not knowing anything about Kundalini yoga. At the time, I was simply searching for a space to claim as my own while parenting a suffering child whose pain I couldn’t ease. I didn’t anticipate the profound transformation this practice would bring. I had been practicing for six months when my child, Jack, died. No one is ever prepared for the devastation of losing a child, but those six months had helped me grow muscles I didn’t know I’d need.
Kundalini yoga is not only about toning your body or sculpting muscles. This is not a gym. It’s a practice that nurtures the soul, one that Delta Groove has cultivated with care and reverence. The rhythmic chants, meditations, and kriyas (movement sequences) became a refuge, grounding me in the present while opening my heart to the expansive oneness of the universe—a place where I believe Jack continues to exist.
What’s special about this practice is that you don’t have to be religious to benefit from it. The spirituality cultivated in Kundalini yoga at Delta Groove isn’t about dogma. It’s about understanding and embracing what it means to be human. It’s about connecting with yourself and others, finding peace in stillness, and discovering the depths of resilience and wonder within.
From the moment I first walked through the doors, I felt something different. The studio radiates a sense of sacredness that’s immediately calming, but it’s the people who make it extraordinary. The teachers hold space with compassion and wisdom, offering words that seem to land exactly where you need them. The students create a community that is unspoken but deeply felt. I’ve seen tears flow freely without judgment. I’ve shared knowing nods with others who, like me, are navigating their own storms.There is no judgment here, only connection.
In the chaos of grief, the community at Delta Groove Yoga sustained me. They offered more than solace—they gave me a lifeline. They allowed me to connect to myself and to something much greater, reminding me that even amid unimaginable loss, there is wonder, unity, and a deep current of life that continues.
