Let’s talk about death, baby…

The fear of it can bind us powerfully, in both subtle and overt ways. Facing it can liberate equally.

It is the inevitable.

It is named abhinivesha in yogic philosophy; one of the five kleshas, the root causes of suffering.

And it can liberate as powerfully as it binds…

We will all experience death, both others and our own.
Death of the body, death of previous iterations of self, death of relationships, death of ways of thinking and being.

Yoga identifies abhinivesha, the fear of death, as one of the five root causes of suffering (Kleshas).

Coming to face it - with compassion, with the support of ritual and experienced guides, with the ancient wisdom of yogic practices and philosophy, in community, can open a deeper awareness of how we can expand more fully into our capacity for living, for sensing what we most value in life, for greater embodiment and joy.

Into the infinite… savasana, literally the seat of the co**se. In much of our Western world and lives, death is hidden, avoided… but in the practice we visit it as an integral part of the fabric of life, as part of what is essential and true, and as a way to feel more connected to what continues when the finite body, the container inevitably changes, and eventually passes away.

The fear of death, sometimes characterized as abhinivesha, the fear of loss, in the yoga tradition, can bind us intensely, preventing us from living fully. Likewise, coming to face it can liberate powerfully, and illuminate what is most important for us in living, and provide a path to living more fully in alignment with what we most love, want, and value.

For caretakers, hospice workers and volunteers, for our own processes of aging, for deepening intentional connection to life and gaining greater clarity about how we want to live it while we are here.

Dying to Live: a workshop on meeting the inevitable with grace and vitality, incorporating yoga, somatic movement, yoga philosophy, journaling, meditation, breath, and community.

Saturday, April 18, 1-5pm Elk Rock Yoga
$120 (As always, please reach out if cost is a barrier. Our intention is that this work be accessible to all.) with Jade Hering and Jordan Amali, trained death doulas and dedicated hospice and end-of-life supporters..

It is complete.

Navratri/Spring Equinox Retreat 2026 🌺

Seven days of beauty, of holding each other through difficulty and emerging into such deep connection and steady sweetness.
The aperture of each heart wider now, expanded to fit the wild brilliance of this sacred place, opened to the light of self and the nourishment of community.
We each leave something that doesn’t need to come back with us. We take something that serves and supports. We give something as a gift to others.
“And in the end, the love you make is equal to the love you take.”

Paradise/ Paraíso

At the end of a long practice in the Shala

Awaiting my Spring Equinox & Navratri retreat group. I could not be more excited to share this divine place with them, and to celebrate the return of the light together!

10/02/2026

It ended up being all about the dogs. They are the teachers and the teaching here. As always.

This comes from a long reflection and exploration of the role stillness plays in a time that requires action…

““Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises…?” - Lao Tzu

Not just moving from momentum, nor from patterning, nor from reactivity, nor to avoid what is in the stillness…

If you are ready to step into stillness and move into action from there, join our Spring Retreat, March 19-25, , Isla Colón, Panamá

Retreat reprise!

Time away, time inside, time together and time moving into stillness can transform us.
It transformed this group into family on our Yucatan retreat last summer.

I was so charmed to be asked to offer a special class for the Portland locals here in town last week. The joy they have at being together, the deep connection to their practice, and the profound commitment they each hold to their continuing study on and off the mat is such a gift to perceive.

We talked about the impetus for transformation - and how retreat offers a window, a map, an imprint for that shift into greater alignment and resonance.

Make your own map this March in Bocas del Toro, Panama. Off the beaten path; on the path of the heart.

Proud mama.

It may still be a struggle sometimes to get them to do dishes, but they know what’s important to the world, and to them. Glad to walk in the rain with them and a few hundred others today in solidarity with Minneapolis and the abolition of ICE.

This is where the yoga begins. In standing for these principles of non-harming, truthfulness, non-stealing, non-greed, and energetic responsibility.

When the world feels upside down, I come back to the ground to steady my spinning mind.

When the made world feels non-sensical and cruel, I come back the steady earth beneath me.

Yoga offers tools for stabilization. Stabilization supports study of self. Study of self illuminates the world. Illumination lights the path of wise action.

So many thanks to all 52 yoginis and yogis who came together in community today to share the traditional solstice practice of 108 Sun Salutations.

We moved, breathed, and rested on behalf of our selves and each other, and for the larger human community, those beyond the studio walls.

Folks moved through ease and difficulty, through doubt and out the other side into belief, through anticipation into Presence.

To be in the flow of that breath, which became one breath, was profound and nourishing.

May we move into this new cycle with awakeness, with the balm of community, with the strength that we cultivate individually supporting also the collective.

May each of you know the deep gratitude I have to know you, to walk the path with you, and to witness your footsteps on it.

I am full of love, admiration, and gratitude.

Thank you for holding the light in you as you each do.

A scene from this summer’s solstice retreat, Parque del Jaguar, Yucatan

Pure magic. Each of these beautiful humans. Each day, each practice, each adventure. The connection was almost immediate, and the joy was contagious. We did sweet things, ate, laughed, practiced.
We chanted, laughed, ate, practiced.
We swam, cried, did things that challenged us, held each other through it, practiced, explored, ate and laughed more.
The resonance of it stays with me, keeps me believing that in times of great difficulty, the balm is in community, in connection with self and sea and land, in feeling the past and the future stretching out on both sides of our hearts, in listening deeply to those hearts, ours and each others’, in the living wisdom of the practice, breath and motion, stillness and vibration, ease and effort.

You’re invited to the next immersion: retreat registration is open for Isla Colón, Panamá, March 19-25, 2026, !
Varied pricing for individual and shared rooms. Link in bio:https://www.allegrachabayyoga.com/event-list

Together, we build the magic. You bring it back to light your heart and the world. Replenish, invigorate, restore, discover, transform.

Echo en menos los Pueblos mágicos… Pero el sentido del lugar se queda conmigo, la semilla de esa dulzura lenta todavía está viva en mis pasos.

I miss the magical Pueblos, but the sense of that place stays with me, the seed of that sweetness and slowness lives in my footsteps.

Healing happens in the slowing down. In the awareness of each step on the path.
This is why stepping away from the speed of daily living, the demands of daily life can be the opening of the path of healing, and that path leaves its footprints on your heart…
