Transforming Grief into Growth:
Discover Your Path to Clarity and Purpose

Our Mindful Grieving 9-Month Group is CSG's signature yoga therapy program. It follows an evolutionary progression that guides you in self-inquiry to move through your grief and experience greater clarity and understanding of your purpose and life path. This class series offers somatic tools and an intimate container for emotions and thoughts to be felt, expressed, shared and moved through. It is an invitation to awaken to yourself and all of life more fully by going into and through your grief, while being held in the sacred container of yoga.

A loss can often cause one to question or even redefine their identity. This can be a confusing and scary place to be, but through the support of a loving community, participants are guided to discover new parts of themselves and grow; not despite their grief, but because of it.

Wendy Black Stern

Wendy is the heart and soul behind the Center for Somatic Grieving, where her mission is to support individuals through the transformative process of grief. Her journey into this profound work began with a personal tragedy—the loss of her son Noah—which led her to a path of self-discovery and a deepened commitment to helping others. Wendy, a resident of Boulder, CO, finds solace in nature, and her passion for travel, deep human connections, and live music has provided a backdrop for her personal growth.

With over 25 years of experience as a yoga student and teacher, Wendy's expertise lies in integrating yoga with grief support. She is a certified Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapist and instructor, with additional qualifications in yoga teacher training and Reiki. Her work is heavily influenced by the teachings of Ram Dass, Shiva Rea, Twee Merrigan and Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy.

In 2012, Wendy founded the Grief Support Network (GSN), a non-profit organization that emerged from her personal loss. After GSN, Wendy founded CSG, where she is dedicated to transforming how individuals and communities perceive, experience, and navigate loss, promoting a culture that embraces grief as an opportunity for growth and connection. Wendy's approach combines personal reflection, group sharing, and a grief-focused, somatic curriculum to guide others in their healing journeys.

"This program is essential for everyone."

We lose a lot of things throughout our lives and this allows us to finally be okay with feelings and thoughts that we may have suppressed. This program isn’t only for physically moving our bodies but moving our emotions in a way that ignites self-love and growth.
