Violet Grofsics Yoga & Meditation

Hi everyone, I'm Sarah, Violet's daughter. I'm absolutely devastated and heartbroken to share that on Monday, November 17, 2025, my mom passed away peacefully after an incredibly brave battle with cancer.

We're holding a service/celebration of life for Violet on November 30, 2025 at 1pm, with a reception to follow. All of the funeral details are at the website below:

We've booked a fairly large hall for mom's service, so please, feel free to spread the obituary and the service details around to anyone you think would like to attend - co-workers, friends, students, anyone whose lives my mom touched (and I know she touched so many!).

For those who can attend the service, please do not feel the need to wear black - mom always loved colour!

Thank you all for loving my mom so much, and for supporting her passion for yoga. She loved teaching more than anything in the world.

In Loving Memory View Violet Grofsics’s obituary and additional information. Share your memories and condolences.
