“Emotions need motion” - Paul Denniston

Grief is an emotion that many of us try to avoid. But what happens when we don't let it out? In this episode, we explore how hidden grief can get stuck in the body, causing tight shoulders, stomach pain, and nonstop anxiety.
Paul Denniston, founder of Grief Yoga, joins Dr. Aimie to explain that grief doesn't simply disappear when ignored. Instead, it hides in our muscles and body, making them hurt or feel uncomfortable.This conversation sheds light on how movement and even laughter can let the feelings out of our bodies in a safe way.

We'll talk more about:
[03:28] How grief physically manifests in the body
[09:50] Why movement is essential for trauma healing
[11:02] How to recognize if what you're feeling is grief (even if it looks like anxiety or anger)
[13:13]The power in creating dedicated time and space for grief expression
[15:17] Learning how to sit with grief safely so it doesn't feel too overwhelming
[21:04] How laughter can be used to access deeper grief
[32:32] How practitioners can hold space for others' grief without becoming overwhelmed themselves
[37:14] The physical and emotional benefits of moving grief through the body

Whether you're a practitioner working with grief, someone supporting a loved one through loss, or navigating your own healing journey, this episode shares insights into transforming pain through movement practices that incorporate breath, sound, and embodied awareness.

Paul Denniston is the founder of Grief Yoga®, which uses yoga, movement, breath, and sound to release pain and suffering and connect to love. His intention with Grief Yoga is to combine many different forms of yoga in order to help heal grief.
