What if the way we say goodbye could nourish the earth and each other?

The Green Goodbye invites you to consider ways that life and death are woven together and discover gentler, more environmentally conscious methods of caring for our bodies after death. Together we’ll explore options including conservation burial, natural organic reduction (human composting), alkaline hydrolysis (water based cremation), and more along with a hands-on demonstration of how a loved one can be shrouded using simple, biodegradable materials.

Led by Lauren Richwine of Death Done Differently, one of the first death doulas to serve families in the Midwest, the workshop will also feature guest specialists sharing the unique ways they support individuals and families in navigating death, after death care, and grief. Lauren is a master’s level Thanatology student, sought after public speaker, Advance Care Planning consultant, and mortality mentor through The Mortal Clay Mentorship.

Our hope is to bring light, curiosity, and open conversation to subjects we often avoid. Some moments may be tender or heavy, but this gathering is also a celebration of our connection to the natural world, of the choices available to us, and of the many ways our bodies can still return to the earth.

The Green Goodbye will be hosted by Discover Yoga, a community-centered space dedicated to helping people feel seen, supported, and welcomed exactly as they are.

Join Discover Yoga and Fort Wayne Parks & Recreation for a morning of free, all-levels movement at beautiful Promenade Park—every 2nd Sunday of the month.

We begin with Barre at 9:15 AM, using chairs for balance. This class is low-impact, strength-focused, and accessible for all levels—no experience needed.

Then stay for Yoga at 10:30 AM, a beginner-friendly flow designed to help you move, breathe, and reset in a scenic outdoor setting. Whether you’re brand new or a regular, this class meets you where you are.

While we offer these classes daily at the studio, this is our chance each month to take it outside and connect as a community.

Barre: 9:15 AM (chairs provided for balance)
Yoga: 10:30 AM
Location: Amphitheater at Promenade Park
Cost: FREE

Weather Plan: Indoors if it rains. In June, we’ll meet on the historic Wells Street Bridge.

Bring your mat, invite a friend, and enjoy movement in the heart of downtown ✨

SECOND FRIDAYS: POSE BREAKDOWN
November: Find Your Foundation—Standing Postures
Friday, November 13 | 6 PM | 75 minutes

Warrior I, Warrior II, Triangle, and Extended Side Angle show up often in yoga classes—but how can we make them work for our individual bodies?

Join us for a monthly workshop where we slow things down, ask questions, and explore the poses together.

We’ll begin with a warm-up, then break down each posture, exploring foot placement, hip position, balance, and strength. Comparing Warrior I and Warrior II, we’ll notice how changing our stance changes the experience of the pose. Then we’ll carry that awareness into Triangle and Extended Side Angle.

We’ll explore props, variations, and intentional transitions, giving you tools to bring into your regular practice. Whether you’re brand new or revisiting familiar shapes, you’ll have space to learn and refine.

You don’t need to reach the floor or deepen the pose. Come discover where you feel supported, steady, and able to breathe.

Fourth Fridays at 6 PM · 60 minutes

November 27th

Come move to the music. Each month, I’ll choose an album I love, share a little about why it means something to me, and let the record set the tone for our flow.

We’ll link breath and movement, build some heat, get our heart rates up, and make room for a little joy. Expect an energetic vinyasa class with options to make the practice your own.

My dad’s love of music inspired this series. I can’t wait to share the albums—and the stories behind them—with you.

Full Moon Sound Bath

Sunday, November 22nd 6:30–8:30 PM
Discover Yoga

The full moon is a powerful time to pause, tune in, and release. As the moon reaches its fullest expression each month, we are invited to do the same—to reflect on what has grown, acknowledge what has come to fruition, and let go of what no longer serves us.

Join Adriana Platt at Discover Yoga for a nourishing evening designed to help you do just that. We'll begin with gentle, restorative movement to soften the body and start the process of unwinding. From there, you'll be guided into meditation before settling into the main event: sound.

In a sound bath, nothing is asked of you. It is a space to simply receive and release. The intentional vibrations of singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other instruments move through the body, inviting ease, softness, and a gentle shift into the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) nervous system. Think of it as an extended, deeply supported Savasana, enhanced by movement, breath, meditation, pillows, blankets, and intentional rest.

We'll close with time for community integration, warm tea, and journaling—creating space to reflect on what you're ready to carry forward and what you're ready to leave behind.

No experience is necessary. Come exactly as you are, and allow this evening to be your monthly pause to reset, release, and return to yourself.
