Yin Yoga & the Art of Dreaming, Dying & Waking with Joe Barnett. Saturday July 18, 2026
$ 40.00
In this 2-hour online and recorded workshop with Joe Barnett, we will contemplate, discuss, and practice Patañjali’s Abhiniveśa (fear of death), Atisha’s Nine Contemplations of Death, and the practice of Yin Yoga.
These ancient and modern teachings have the power to bring us into a better relationship with Yama, the god of death, who is always near, yet rarely engaged with kindness and compassion.
Whether you are a dedicated practitioner or a yoga teacher, this workshop also offers a unique opportunity to experience how an experienced teacher thoughtfully weaves philosophy, storytelling, and contemplation into a Functional Yin Yoga class.

He is a senior student and primary assistant to Paul Grilley, his mentor of 25 years and one of the leading voices behind the modern understanding of Yin Yoga and Functional Anatomy.
Throughout the years, Joe has taught internationally, assisted Paul Grilley while also presenting workshops and trainings at studios and conferences around the world.

“Joe Barnett has been our friend and assistant for many years. He has two qualities that make him an excellent presenter: he knows the anatomical principles and he relates to people in a sympathetic manner. His presentations are unhurried, hands-on demonstrations; this is the easiest way to absorb these ideas.”
