Day of the Dead Workshop: Yoga for Grief and Connection

Welcome to Día de los Muertos

Día de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, is a time to honor our ancestors and loved ones who have passed on—a celebration of memory, love, and the ongoing bond between the living and the departed. In this special gathering, we will weave together yoga, ritual, and community to hold space for grief while also celebrating the beauty of connection.

$50 per reservation

In recognition of Latinx Heritage Month, which concludes just before this workshop, 50% of the proceeds will be donated to Conexíon Amerícas, an organization uplifting and empowering Latinx communities in Nashville. 

If you are a member of the Latinx community who would like to attend but cost is a barrier- or if you or your family have been directly affected by ongoing ICE raids- please reach out to us. We are hdoling free spots to ensure that this space remians accessible, healing, and supportive for all.

what to expect

Alter of Remembrance (Ofrenda): Together, we’ll build a community altar adorned with marigolds, candles, and offerings. You are invited to bring a photo, small object, or written message to honor someone you wish to remember. Grief can take many forms: sometimes it is the passing of someone dead, but it can also be the loss of a beloved pet, the end of a relationship, the shift of a dream, or the transition from one stage of life to another. Whatever your grief looks like, you may bring an offering that represents it. Objects may represent ant loss you are carrying, or a source of love you wish to acknowledge.

Ritual: Space for quiet reflection and optional sharing, honoring both the personal and the collective experience of rememberance. We will share in a simple offering of traditional Pan de Muerto, and warm tea. This act of nourishment is both symbolic and energetic as it helps us to digest and transform grief. Eating together becomes a ritual of remembrance, connection, and integration.

Gentle Yoga Practice: Movement will be gentle grounding movement. A breath-focused practice designed to support safety in the body and (re)connection with heart, mind, and spirit. Create space to hold the complexities of grief while finding opportunities to experience stability, ease, relief, and even joy.

Yoga Nidra for Grief & Connection: We’ll close with a deeply restful guided meditation designed to support grief, healing, and a sense of continues relationship with what has been lost and what still lives within us.

This workshop is open to all and no prior yoga experience is needed. Come as you are, bring what feels meaningful to you, and allow yourself to be held in community.
