A huge thank you to our friends at Mi Vida Yoga, and their wonderful Yoga Instructor, Calysta! A couple of weekends ago, they held a "Yoga for a Cause" event in honor of Children's Grief Awareness Month. Calysta is one of our Community Alliance Committee volunteers and we are so grateful for all of her talents that she so graciously shares with The Grief Center! #ThankYouThursday
