Watch first
What this is
When we grieve, the body holds the weight — a heaviness in the chest, a lump in the throat, tension in the shoulders. This gentle somatic practice helps you locate where grief sits in your body, then breathe softly into that space. The goal is not to erase the grief (it honours someone you love) but to soften the physical grip so you can carry it with a little more ease.
Who it's for
You feel grief sitting heavy in your body — chest, throat, shoulders. You want a gentle way to ease the physical weight without rushing past the sadness.
