Antonio Sausys

“The fact that grief is a normal reaction to loss doesn’t make it any easier to go through,” according to Antonio Sausys, a specialist in yoga and meditation for those experiencing grief. He says, “Yoga can be instrumental in addressing the symptoms of grief because it focuses on mind, body, and spirit, the three areas where grief manifests—and often goes unacknowledged.” Antonio’s unresolved grief related to his Mother’s early death prompted him to develop a yoga and meditation practice to address the physical, mental and spiritual symptoms of grief that often go acknowledged. His Father’s cancer inspired him to create a Yoga for Cancer program, the motto of which is ‘Spirit can’t have cancer.’
