 Yoga for Grief and Loss 
Published by Singing Dragon Books 
​

Just as grief is an experience that affects us physically, mentally, emotionally, cognitively, and spiritually, yoga sustains and strengthens us in all of these areas. Containing nearly 100 expressive and experiential exercises, this book is unlike any of its kind. A profound and practical guide through the branches of yoga—Jnana, Bhakti, Tantra, Karma, Raja and Hatha--Yoga for Grief and Loss helps us integrate these practices, as well as our own experiences of loss, into everyday life, moving us closer to harmony and wholeness. Through postures, meditations, mindfulness, breath work, chant, journaling, the creation of personal rituals and many other expressive activities, we are helped to lovingly find our own unique paths through grief and loss toward peace and connection to the true goal of yoga—unity of body, mind and spirit.

"Writing represents only one facet of Helbert's life. Her causes, her art and interests, her family and her profession all orbit around a nucleus of grief. She's always her own best example of how to positively "integrate grief into life in order to fully live," she says. Above all, the way Helbert copes with grief is authentic and unflinching."
