Yoga, Death and the Dying Process

Learn how yoga philosophy provides insight into the dying process along with specific, accessible techniques for supporting others through their own or a loved one's final transition. Move through pre-recorded videos at your own pace, develop a care plan for your target clients, and meet one-on-one with the course instructor to discuss specific adaptations and needs for your practice.

Your instructor, Laura Atmadarshan Santoro, worked on intensive care units at University Hospitals of Cleveland and has supported family members through the dying process. She has presented on yoga and death to international audiences and is honored to share this much-needed wisdom with you.

Course details: 4 hours of on-demand videos + 1 hour personal session with your instructor. Once registered, you have three months to complete your choice of options:

• For personal learning and growth: watch the videos as often as you like and, if you wish, schedule a 1 hour personal session with your instructor to discuss any aspect of the program or your own journey with death and dying.
