Prema Paxton: Finding Deep Love Beneath Grief

When Prema Paxton’s 20-year-old son Lance died from fentanyl poisoning, her world stopped. In this intimate conversation, Prema shares her family’s story, the memorial they created for Lance, and how she now serves other grieving parents through Love in the Trenches (LITT).

She offers free online classes blending restorative yoga, meditation, and Yoga Nidra to help grief move through the body. Explore them at loveinthetrenches.org/litt-yoga.
