Relaxing Into the In-Between: A Yin Yoga Practice with Susan Friedman

Sunday, November 1, 2026 (5:00 PM - 6:15 PM) (EST)

Description

Offered as part of The Road to Death Faire.

In Tibetan, Bardo means "gap," or "intermediate state”. While most famously known as the transitional state of consciousness between death and rebirth, it broadly describes any in-between moment or phase where one condition has ended and a new one has not yet formed. Transitions occur continuously in our lives, sometimes generating excitement and often uncertainty, anxiety, and grief.

In this Yin Yoga practice, we will explore the Bardo of this life by accessing the pauses between breaths, thoughts, and actions through gentle yoga asana, breathing practices, and meditation. Together, we will relax into the bardo with curiosity, allowing us to examine our relationship to uncertainty with confidence and ease.

This event is offered by donation.
