To add my praises to this program may seem self serving, it is really not however as Chris’ program speaks to the heart of what we do!
New and innovative approaches to care has and will remain the heart and soul of funeral service!!!
I have witnessed, first hand, how this approach opens new ways to be a “beacon” for our communities!!!

In reply to Erin Russo. Forgot to mention, I love the phrase, "like rocks in our heart." So descriptive, and so true! That's exactly what they feel like...heavy, sharp, and unbelievably toxic. Nice wordsmithing!

Oh, Erin – thank you so much for sharing! You’re so familiar with the power of yoga to transform lives – witnessing the transformation in your mother was so inspiring, I’m sure. I’m really proud to “know” Chris, and believe her gifts to be amazing…she’s empowered my yoga practice – from thousands of miles away. Now THAT’S power!

Nice idea and good program Christine. As a yoga practitioner and having meditated daily since 1974, I know what wonderful benefits yoga can and does provide.

I have a suggestion for anyone who is hesitant to introduce the word “Yoga,” in their market for any reason, there is an easy work around because you can call the hatha yoga classes stretching, the meditation can be called the relaxation response or centering sessions. Everyone will still get the same benefits regardless of what you have to call it.

Yoga is such a wonderful tool for tapping into those innermost feelings and concerns we carry around like rocks in our heart. I know personally that yoga forces you to take that time out from an otherwise hectic life, to acknowledge these feelings and see them in a new light. My mom, Chris Biggins, has taught me to look for the positive in all situations and has in many circumstances become a wonderful role model of how to just “BE”. To see the effects of yoga and how it has literally changed my moms life, makes me wanna tell everyone, HEY THIS YOGA REALLY DOES WORK!!! My mom is an inspiration, her knowledge and healing powers through yoga are a gift everyone should experience!

Christine, I wanted to thank you, from the very bottom of my heart (is that really better than the “top” of my heart?! what an odd turn-of-phrase) for sharing your story with our readers. I want to urge all funeral homes to consider adding a Yoga Aftercare program to their offerings. I’ve found yoga to have many physical and psychological rewards…and wouldn’t miss my weekly yoga class for anything. In fact, I’ve been trying to find a way to have the self-discipline to practice at home – but my dog thinks I’m playing, and just interrupts the flow. (One of my life’s “small” challenges.)

And in coming to know Chris, and her story, I think I’m better equipped to face those bigger challenges when they arise. Big, big hug, dear Christine! Thank you!

I think Christine is so brave, and so willing to teach by example! I find her a joy to know, and a role model for all of us. Challenges come when we least expect them as she demonstrates – and having yoga in my “stress relief tool kit” has really been wonderful. Thanks for commenting – I know Christine will value your support (as we do!)
