Why do we need Queer & Trans Wellness?

Unfortunately, even in a well-meaning, relatively progressive culture, homophobia and transphobia still exist. It is experienced on both the subtle and not so subtle levels, which makes participating in a vulnerable group practice like yoga or fitness discouraging.

Connect.

While many students including LGBTQIA+ are looking to be seen, yoga and fitness provides a space to work through practices as a way to work inward towards our own power rather than seeking external affirmation.

LGBTQIA+ classes offer a safe space where we can get the implicit message, just by being together, that we deserve not only to exist but to thrive.

How do we build a Queer & Trans Community?

It all begins with prioritization of emotional safety, mental well-being, and affirmation.

There is a need to create sensitive, equitable, accessible service for gender and sexually diverse people.
