SUMMARY:The Last Savasana: Yoga\, Breathwork and Inquiry to Help Prepare You for the Final Exit
DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled.\n$62 Early bird\, use promo code LAST\, exp. 5/10\n$72 Regular \nJoin Leslie and Richard for a deep dive into Savasana with a twist. Most of us spend our days trying to extend our lives\, i.e. looking both ways before crossing a street\, putting our seatbelt on and checking expiration dates on our food. Nonetheless\, nothing we do\, not even yoga\, can help us escape life’s inevitable end. Yoga can help prepare us to face our fear of the inevitable\, maybe even embrace it so that we come to appreciate the preciousness of each day we are alive.\n\nFind a renewed appreciation for the beauty of our time on the planet\nIncrease personal agency around end of life decisions\nDelve deep on what really matters to you\nRealize a new perspective on a very old pose and how it can help you\nbe more comfortable with the inevitable\n\nYoga is meant to bring us more awareness and gives us tools to manage the challenges of being human. This workshop is designed to manage the anxiety we all have around dying and to be more comfortable with these types of conversations.\nThere will be a short lecture on the history\, practice\, symbolic message of this often misunderstood pose. Then we will do a series of short practices with a savasana. Each practice will begin with a thought provoking question around your own death\, like what are some of your regrets in life\, or what do you want your legacy to be\, who am I. After each practice\, you will be given time to journal about each question. We’ll conclude with a group discussion and of course a final (FOR THIS WORKSHOP) savasana.\nLeslie and Richard have been talking about the power of savasana for a long time. They got the idea to do a whole book about it and to include some of the teaching of yoga around accepting death. This workshop is a result of many hours of conversation and we hope to pull it all together for a book before we die!\n\nLeslie Howard is an Oakland-based yoga teacher\, specializing in all things pelvic. She leads workshops and trainings nationally and has written a book about caring for the female pelvis\, Pelvic Liberation. In 2022\, after losing a long time student\, she took a deep dive into the subject of death. She has 60 hours of Death Doula training\, runs a regular Death Café (a place to come and talk about death) and is volunteering in hospice for Kaiser Oakland. Her teaching is informed by over 3500 hours of yoga study with senior Iyengar yoga teachers. She considers Ramanand Patel her most important influence and mentor. She has designed two very successful studies for UCSF on how to use yoga to alleviate incontinence and pelvic pain.

Two years later he began a two-year teacher training course at the B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga Institute in San Francisco\, from which he graduated in 1983. In 1987\, with his good friend Rodney Yee\, he opened the Piedmont Yoga Studio in Oakland\, CA\, which operated until 2012. Richard has written numerous articles and reviews for national yoga magazines\, and is also the author of five books\, four of them published by Shambhala: The Yoga of Breath (2002)\, Pranayama: Beyond the Fundamentals (2006)\, Original Yoga (2012)\, a book on traditional yoga practice based on the seventeenth century Gheranda Samhita (Gheranda’s Compilation)\, and Yoga FAQ: Almost Everything You Need to Know about Yoga–from Asanas to Yamas (2017). His fifth book for Shambhala\, Yoga by the Numbers\, is due out in the Spring of 2022. Richard lives in a 115-year-old bungalow in beautiful Berkeley\, CA.
