Queer & Well : PRIDE YOGA with Tony Asaro from HAUM SF

Queer & Well is a new FREE monthly Center Community Program offering that provides a communal space for LGBTQ+ folks to explore different forms of care rooted in connection to community. Whether it's caring for ourselves, each other, or communities we are a part of—connection nourishes our bodies, minds, and spirits. Every month, Queer & Well will host various events where folks can participate in and learn about various forms of care such as yoga, art therapy, and more.

Join is for our Pride Yoga offering – grounding and rejuvenating you, ready for the weekend. Those who attend have the chance to win a lululemon yoga mat and will receive a Q&W goody bag, our stickers and buttons are becoming world renowned.

This month our class is being led by the amazing Tony Asaro. Tony first discovered yoga in 2008 when an injury necessitated a lifestyle change. What he found was so much more than physical fitness.

Tony believes that yoga should be welcoming and accessible to all people. He always keeps his classes fun and enjoyable. His vinyasa style is heavily influenced by Iyengar and calisthenics. His body is not the long, lithe physique you might see on the cover of Yoga Journal, and figuring out how the poses and transitions manifest in his anatomy heavily informs how he sequences. Tony focuses on building strength and releasing tension through alignment, lengthening, and breath. Also, he’s pretty funny, and makes great playlists for his classes.
