Pelvic health is often approached through a narrow, cis-normative, and white-centric lens—leaving many of us feeling excluded, misunderstood, or uncared for. Through yoga and education, we'll reimagine pelvic care through a queer, liberatory lens. This is a free introduction to an upcoming 5 week series called Queering Pelvic Health

We’ll reclaim our pelvis as a site of power, complexity, and creativity beyond the gender binary. Our goal is not to “fix” anything, but to explore new possibilities for relief and ease, and imagine pelvic health as something rooted in creativity and self-intimacy, and collective care.

This intro class is for anyone interested in progressive models of pelvic care. We’ll navigate the intersection of gender, sexuality, and pelvic health. This class is especially for you if you:

Have experienced a lack of gender-competent care in medical spaces
Practice gender-affirming modalities (like binding, packing and tucking) and want specific ways to care for you pelvis
Live with pelvic pain (including endometriosis, vaginismus, vulvodynia, or related conditions)
Experience a high-tone (or tight) pelvic floor
Feel pain or discomfort during sex (solo or partnered)
Hold chronic tension in the hips, lower back, or pelvic region

No prior yoga experience is necessary—this class is designed to be gentle, inclusive, and adaptable to your body’s needs.

Details:

This space centers queer, trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive folks, while welcoming anyone interested in inclusive and progressive approaches to pelvic care.
You may join live or practice via recording, which will be sent to your inbox. The replay is available for 7 days.
Pleaes note: This class does not offer medical advice.
