Hey QTs you are invited! This FREE all levels, affirming online yoga class series, taught in the Iyengar method, is for self identifed folks in the LGBTQueer+ community.

These yoga classes aim to connect our practice of embodied inner freedom with sustainable movements for collective liberation. classes are warm and welcoming, and will include centering, philosophy, relaxation, and are adaptive, geared to meet you where you’re at, in a way that honors your social location, your struggle and resilience, and creates space for your joy.

We’ll explore:

week 1: standing poses

week 2: forwards bends + twists

week 3: arms + core stability

week 4: back bending

week 5: restorative and breath work

week 6: mini practice + Q&A and community connection

We will use yoga props, sometimes, but you can use whatever you have around like a chair or couch or do the pose without props. Instructions will be given for both options.

Once you register, you’ll receive an email confirmation, and a reminder email 15 minutes before each class with a Zoom link to our virtual yoga room. You’ll also be sent replay good for 60 days.
