I'm a death doula and a yoga teacher — two jobs that sound like opposites, until you notice they're both about learning to let go.

By day I teach people to lie down, breathe, and release. The rest of the time I sit with people in grief and help them carry what the body quietly carries: the lump in the throat, the 4 a.m. wakings, the tiredness sleep won't fix.

Everything I make is gentle, practical and honest; no pressure to grieve on schedule. Just what actually helps.

Every savasana is a little rehearsal. Come say hi on Instagram @darishstep.
