Ancient yogic wisdom, reflections, and practices to help with the profound life challenges of loss and grief.

Loss is unavoidable in life: the passing of a loved one, losing wealth and possessions, separation in relationships, disability from ill-health, and other major transitions may happen to any of us. Grief is the deep shadow cast by that loss. Not only does grief crush our heart, it also harms our physical wellbeing and many dimensions of our mental health too.

Join the Mohans in this journey of wisdom, contemplation, and practice. Explore ways to cope with, heal from, and eventually grow from grief.

Course Description

Grief is not just an emotion; it is a journey. It is the other side of desire, care, and love. When we lose something precious to us, whether it be a cherished goal, a person dear to us, a relationship, wealth, possessions, job role, or good health, we experience that parting as grief.

The ancient teachings of Samkhya and Yoga start from the understanding that suffering is unavoidable in life. At some time, old age, disease, and death will strike us and people we care for. We all benefit from learning to face losses in our life with greater resilience and wisdom.

In this course you will:

  • Understand the yogic view of grief and loss.
  • Explore the role of coping, healing, and growing from loss.
  • Use mantra and ritual to help with loss.
  • Dive into wisdom perspectives from the ancient texts.
  • Contemplate how grief affects you and those around you with guidance.

Course Format

  • 6 hours hours of in-depth recorded sessions immediately on signup

  • Comprehensive and accessible

  • 1 year access to revisit, revise and deepen at your own pace

A. G. Mohan is one of the foremost yoga masters in this era. He began his yoga journey in 1971, spending nearly two decades as a personal student of the legendary yogi Sri Krishnamacharya.

He is the author of several books on yoga, including Yoga for Body, Breath, and Mind, Yoga Therapy, and Krishnamacharya: His Life and Teachings.


Indra Mohan  began her yoga studies along with her husband, A.G. Mohan, in 1971. She is one of few people to receive a post-graduate diploma in yoga from Sri Krishnamacharya.

TRUSS K

Perfect pace, perfect presentation

Can not be better. Learned a lot even though I already knew the basics: the Imbalance of one person is his own balance, we should not focused only on production of Agni but balance it! Immediately understood why my practice of Pranayama was not fully effective, and when I added to to it Sitali paranayama, I started to feel better. Now I will look also at the diet.

DILLARO S

A generous and very informative course

Thank you for a very rich course. I want to highlight in particular the precisions and nuances introduced by Dr. Ganesh Mohan, as well as the deep of knowledge shared by AG Mohan. It seems to me much more than a 5.5 hours program... much to reflect on :)
