Riverside Cemetery Yoga

We'll see you on your mat for this unique serene experience in the historical beautiful Riverside Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio! Where you can truly enjoy "corpse pose, spines sinking into ancient ground as life and death brush shoulders" (excerpt from a past students writing about class in full below)

This class is an hour long all levels vinyasa flow perfect for anyone looking to connect with nature and embrace the beauty of life and breath while paying homage to those who do not have the opportunity to experience their own. This cemetery was built in 1876 and is listed in the registrar of natural historic places. Come enjoy a gentle flow while feeling the sun and the breeze on your skin amongst the graves and monuments of this hilly multi-acre sprawling space.

*Class is $20 a person and a portion will be donated to the cemetery. Tickets can be purchased here or you can pay at the site via venmo or cash as long as space is available. Please do register either way so we can anticipate attendance.

*We will meet at Memorial circle, a map will be emailed to all those registered the day before. The map is also located online, memorial circle is between sites 22 and 23 off to the left of the cemetery entrance.

*Bring your own yoga mat, a water bottle, and wear comfortable clothing you can move in.

*This cemetery has a LOT of history and is well known for its breathtaking monuments and gorgeous well-kept grounds. We highly suggest leaving time before or after to walk around.

• In the event of inclement weather, we will reschedule. If you cannot make the new date you can opt to donate the money towards the cemetery or receive a refund.

Looking forward to seeing you all for one of our most peaceful classes of the year!

Here's an excerpt of a writing done by a past student about our class. Thank you Rashida Hagakore for your words,

"Each pose a whisper

but no gentle surrender-

we twist, hold, strain

the body to fold into itself,

bones and breath finding their

limits, their potential

as Beethoven gently sweeps through

air, piano notes draping over gravestones,

we press deeper,

to activate, to achieve, to release

in a place where time stands still

the sun relentless on our faces,

bright against the dark heart of things,

and we breathe through it,

through every pull and reach,

wrestling for stillness within

Each pose a conversation with gravity,

our bodies stretching between two worlds,

communing with the roots of the trees

and gazing into the shadows of the headstones

and, at last, we reach corpse pose

spines sinking into ancient ground,

the weight of effort dissolving,

as life and death brush shoulders

in the warmth of day that feels timeless."
