Endometriosis Yoga Circle

  • Google Calendar ICS

Endometriosis is a chronic illness affecting our whole body, and our whole life. While symptoms vary from person to person, one thing many of us share is the frustration of insufficient treatment and support. Build self care and community care into your month. For five months, we will gather on the fourth Sunday to move, breathe, and be in community together.

This Yoga Circle offers pain management tools, community support, and creative approaches to endo recovery. Through a blend of yoga practices—gentle asanas (postures), mudras (energetic seals), and pranayama (breath work)—we will address the unique challenges of endo. These practices are specifically tailored to help manage pain, increase mobility, and support emotional and physical healing.

Introduction to (Chair) Yoga
Jan

to Mar 17

Introduction to (Chair) Yoga

In the West, many of us think of yoga solely as a movement practice. In reality, it’s an eightfold path which provides guidance on how to live a purposeful life. This path was written down by a sage named Patanjali, through a text called The Yoga Sutras. Although the world looks different from how it did 2,000 years ago, these practices can still offer us incredible support and guidance.

This 8 week series revolves around seated asana as we gently explore movement, breath, and meditation. There will be plenty of time to adapt asana (postures) to fit your body exactly as it is. Let this be an invitation to build intimacy with your body and your inner world.

Each series explores a different theme— binds, upper body strength, inversions, etc. You’ll be reminded to return to your breath and explore what thoughts emerge in effortful moments. Let asana guide you to more deeply understanding yourself, and more deeply engaging with our physical bodies. Some prior asana experience will be needed.

Yoga for Trauma

Yoga for Trauma

Please join us for an hour long practice of yoga for trauma. Through yoga asana, we explore movement that feels good, okay, or “less bad” in our bodies. Through breathing techniques and meditation, we maintain a healthy nervous system. This class is designed to help relieve the effects of trauma, stress, depression and anxiety. Many of these practices help restore a sense of agency and being “safe enough” in our bodies. You can choose your own adventure and take the practice at your own pace. We aim to leave the space feeling more centered, relaxed, and present. Rest and breaks are encouraged, and you can always leave the space if you need to.

The Art of Rest

Soften into the fall season and cultivate intimacy with yourself. We often think of “rest” as something that either happens to us, or doesn’t. In this series, we’ll explore rest as an intentional practice and art. For queer folks, much of the discrimination we face can be directed towards our physical bodies– how they look, and what we do with them. This lived reality can lead to a sense of hypervigilance and “guarding” within our bodies. Through this series, we’ll take time to turn inwards, intentionally release tension, and follow our bodies’ innate ability to rest.

Inward Bound: A Journey Within

For those of us navigating the aftermath of trauma, delving into our inner landscapes can feel daunting. Many of us have learned to keep our physical and emotional selves at a distance. Yet, in a world urging us to neglect our needs and shrink ourselves, embracing a practice of attentive presence becomes an act of defiance. Pranayama practices teach us to tune into the flow of our own subtle energy, and to gently manage that energy through breath, meditation, and more. As we build healthy nervous systems, we’ll discover more capacity to be with our full range of our experiences.

Be Queer Now: Pranayama for Inner Intimacy

For queer folks who have experienced trauma, our inner world can be an intimidating place to explore. Many of us keep our bodily and emotional experiences at arm's length. Slowing down and listening to our bodies is a practice of resistance in a world asking us to ignore our needs and stay small. Pranayama practices teach us to tune into the flow of our own energy, and to gently manage that energy through breath, meditation, and more. As we build healthy nervous systems, we’ll find more capacity to be with our full range of our experiences.
