Come curious. Leave transformed.
Death can seem dark, morbid—even like the wrong vibe for a Friday night. But at this special gathering, we turn toward the very thing most of us spend our lives avoiding. Why? Because when we meet death with presence, it reveals something profound.
Death, when invited in as a teacher rather than feared as an enemy, becomes a portal: to deeper gratitude, embodied aliveness, and spiritual clarity. A brush with death often brings people back to life—but you don’t have to nearly die to wake up. You can simply listen.
At Friday Night Death Yoga, we explore this sacred truth through movement, stillness, and reflection.
The evening includes:
Opening meditation + intention setting
Embodied slow flow yoga practice
Death meditation in savasana with sound bath
Closing circle + community connection
Join me and Emma of Beautiful Death Beautiful Life on Friday, July 11th from 6:30-8:30pm at Rooted Heart for the next Friday Night Death Yoga! Sign up via the Rooted Heart Event page.
What people are saying about Death Yoga:
Death Yoga with Jenna and Emma was a really transformative experience for me. I've never felt all that comfortable thinking about death, but as soon as the session started, I was able to find peace listening to Emma's comforting voice and remembering my loved ones who have gone before me. Oddly enough, it was a truly grounding experience to enter that safe reflection with a dozen strangers. And pairing that powerful exploration with Jenna's guided vinyasa flow helped bring me back to the present and focus on being alive in my body. It was an unexpected yet beautiful way to blend life and death together in an experience that I won't forget. — Aaron S.
I don’t know what I expected from the Death Yoga session, but I was surely mistaken. Between the guided meditation that created space for contemplating death and the yoga practice that grounded me in my body, I left the session feeling uplifted and profoundly alive. The instructors were lovely, and they created a space where it was safe to confront the realities of life and death without the doom and gloom you might expect. I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone and am looking forward to diving back into it myself. — Mitchell C.
Death Yoga was a reflective and calming experience. Jenna and Emma helped me to connect inwardly and mindfully reflect on death, dying, and living through an interactive yoga flow. I felt supported, welcome, and connected as the group and I explored a topic that I don't think about on a daily basis and that can be scary to broach on your own. I highly recommend it as an addition to any yoga practice - I left feeling light and grateful! — Emily M.
My experience at death yoga was deeply reflective. Emma & Jenna co-created a container that allowed each student to integrate deep emotion around the impermanence of life. The class I went to was a fusion of guided meditation, yoga, breath and community. These pillars of the practice held us all as we contemplated death and impermanence. I left feeling more free and at ease with the constant change in my life. — Brittany R.
I found Death Yoga to be a great and unique experience. Getting caught up in the day to day and busy life responsibilities, it’s hard to find time to stop and reflect which is so important. It’s even harder to reflect on a tough and painful topic like death, but this event creates a comfortable atmosphere to do just that. I can’t wait for the next session! — Brendan G.
I absolutely loved death yoga! It was such a cool and unique experience to be led by a yoga teacher and a meditation teacher / death doula. I felt very embodied during the yoga flow and was able to reflect and get curious about my own relationship with mortality and all that life is. I would definitely do it again. — Emma O
