In the Ashes: A Grief Retreat

Meet Your Guide: Greta Walch

Greta has been teaching, supporting, and holding space for others for over 30 years. She is a 500-hour certified yoga instructor, meditation guide, Reiki Master, educator, artist, and retreat facilitator.

She is also a bereaved mother.

Greta walks with grief every day, and understands - deeply - what it means to navigate loss in a society that often asks us to move on too quickly. Her lived experience, combined with decades of training in healing practices, is what shapes In the Ashes.

She brings wisdom, gentleness, ritual, and a rare ability to witness others with tenderness.

On January 11, she’ll guide our day retreat at Serenity Farms with the support of the horses, the land, and our shared community.

Your grief needs somewhere to go. This day will bear witness.

The Cave may be gone, but Restorative Yoga is back with Greta
Tuesdays at noon Spirit of the Lake Yoga & Wellness Center

Restorative Yoga, every week. 🤍
A chance to pause, soften, and be held.

We now offer two weekly restorative classes:
✨ Tuesdays at 12pm with Greta Greta Walch Strouss
✨ Fridays at 11am with Val Olivine Yoga

In these classes, we move slowly and mindfully into fully supported poses using blankets, bolsters, blocks, and other props - giving your body permission to let go. Postures are held for several minutes, inviting deep rest, nervous-system ease, and a sense of quiet contentment.

Come as you are. Leave feeling restored.

Wear cozy layers and socks.
Beginners absolutely welcome.

Both Sophia and I will be teaching at this sweet studio now.
We are grateful for the support of their owners and community!

🌟 Please help us welcome Greta to our teaching team!

Greta is a lifelong teacher, wise guide, and passionate student of yoga. After two decades of practice, she began teaching in 2017 and went on to create two beloved studios rooted in healing, presence, and sacred space. Though her studio, The Cave in Mound, recently closed under unfortunate circumstances, Greta’s light continues to shine, and we’re honored to have her with us as she continues to share her gifts with the community. She brings depth, devotion, and decades of experience in yoga, meditation, restorative practice, Reiki, and more. Greta’s classes are soulful, grounding, and full of heart.
