Walking into a yoga studio for the first time can be very intimidating. You tend to see fit people in stylish yoga attire, and everybody seems to know the routine and lingo except you. What is meant for relaxation and mindfulness becomes an anxiety-producing event. This is especially true for queer and trans folx.
Allé, a trans yogi, aims to change that with Trans Yoga Teacher, which offers body-positive and queer-friendly spaces within yoga. Classes are beginner-friendly and often focus on meditation for restoration and healing. Not only do they teach classes in person and online, but they also host trainings to work with yoga studios and foster trans-inclusive spaces.
Because many in the LGBTQ+ face additional financial hardships, whether from job discrimination or medical costs for gender-affirming care, Allé is raising funds to underwrite participation in their classes. Find out more here.
