You Belong Here

YOGA should not only be accessible* but welcoming to all. We can do better at making everyone feel they belong, so we've created our new series, You Belong Here. Throughout the year, we will work with underrepresented communities in our space to better understand how we can be their allies and create a space where everyone feels they belong here.

Transgender 101

Information is a powerful tool for inclusion and understanding, especially for the transgender community. In this introductory presentation, Brooke Testerman speaks candidly about her life as a transgender woman, as she leads you through topics from pronouns to privilege.  She will talk about gender transition and the gender dysphoria that leads some people to consider it, as well as issues and difficulties faced by the transgender community at large. She finishes the session with actionable tips for becoming a better ally to transgender people in your life and an opportunity for Q&A. Join us for a fun, interesting, and informative session.

*accessible to all, if you lack the resources to attend classes we can help. Scroll to the bottom of our rates page and fill out our Karma YOGA form. We’ll be in touch soon!
