Donna Belk is a writer, educator and workshop facilitator in the field of death and dying. She works with individuals and families as a coach or guide for those facing end-of-life issues.

Through her workshops (yogaofdying.com), Donna combines the philosophy of her 30 years of yoga study with her expertise on issues of death and dying. These workshops educate people about what to expect as one dies, how to prepare for a peaceful death, and how to care for your loved one after death through home funerals.

Donna is the creator, author and editor of hospiceyoga.com; a website devoted to assisting people with informational articles and honoring hospice patients through their stories and in this way passing on some small significance of their lives.

Donna holds a BA from South Texas University, but considers her most important educational credential to be her own near death experience which occurred in 1985. Donna’s teaching style is warm, light-hearted and compassionate.
