Scorpio B-Day Party Queer Joy Yoga with Rosie! 11/15

About us: Queer Joy Yoga is a donation-based, community-oriented yoga class which follows bell hooks’ definition of queer: “Being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.”

QJY is a gathering for all those imagining and working towards reinvention and dismantling different systems of oppression (regardless of sexual and/or gender identity). The monthly class involves discussion of themes such as identity, resistance, solidarity, and interpersonal relationships along with a physical and mindfulness practice. Open to all levels of experience with yoga. After class, you’re invited to stay for a casual group social hour to continue the conversation, connecting and build community together.

Office Hours are canceled for tomorrow, November 10th and for Tuesday, November 24th.

We will miss you!
