The Yoga of Death + Dying

Saturday, October 4, 2025 From 3:30 - 5:30 pm In Wilmette, IL.

Workshop Description: 

We all will die, and we all will be called on to support others in their dying process. How to do it need not be shrouded in mystery, but it does require practice, awareness, skills, and compassion. Dying and helping others in their process is an invitation to be present, to listen, and to observe with compassion; a yoga practice invites us to do the same. How can looking at life through the lens of death and dying bring about greater meaning to life? How can our yoga practice help us befriend death?

Explore how to apply elements of your yoga practice to your support of others in major life transitions, serious illness and the dying process, and to your own exploration of death and dying. This workshop will include a presentation, gentle movement, and a death meditation. Please note that death and dying will be discussed openly and with compassion. Please wear comfortable clothing.
