If you enjoy yoga, and you’re curious to learn how closely this beautiful practice can be incorporated at end of life, don’t miss our 60-hour ABODE End of Life Yoga Training. We’ve designed it specifically for yoga teachers and therapists, chaplains, hospice care workers or anyone who wants to serve the dying.

In fact, our training is for anyone who is drawn to the Death Doula or Death Cafe movements, for anyone who wants to bring a deeper understanding to their own end of life journey, or who wants to explore the whole process of serving people who are at the end of life, and people who are grieving the loss of a loved one.

Our Resident Yoga Therapist Natalie Buster has curated and created this training which will likely change your life – and change the lives at those you’re working with, as well.
