According to yoga philosophy, death is not the end. It is a transition of the soul from this life, in which only a veil separates the physical world from the spirit world. This ritual, close to All Souls Day, offers a time to bless those souls who have transitioned, regardless of whether it happened yesterday or several years ago. It provides a time to remember our loved ones and communicate our thoughts and blessings, bringing peace, comfort and closure. As part of this tradition, The Yoga Connection is accepting Memorials to remember the departed. Donations made by October 13th in memory of a loved one will be honored by having their names read during the ritual, and included in The Yoga Connection newsletter and posted on The Yoga Connection’s Facebook the week of All Souls Day (November 2). Ritual participants may also offer names of loved ones during the event.  Led by Nami Greene,with music and mantra provided by Jim Norris.
