A monthly mix of yoga, meditation, discussion and social sessions for LGBTIQA+ folks
Queer Community Yoga
Join us on the first Friday of every month at 5:15pm for a 90min community class that incorporates yoga asana, meditation, and group discussion.
Led by Studio Manager Ben Gardner (he/him), plus different queer co-facilitators and musicians each month. These classes seek to encourage discussion and embodied self-inquiry around common LGBTIQA+ issues and experiences, all through the lens of traditional yoga philosophies/ movement.
Each session will conclude with an optional social element offsite (drinks/dinner etc) so students can get to know one another.
NOTE: These sessions are for LGBTIQA+ identifying (or exploring) folks only, with all ages and genders welcome. We kindly ask allies to respect the importance of our space. Movement practices will be inclusive within an Open Vinyasa and Yin framework. Sessions will be in-studio only and privacy respected.
Classes capped at 38 students. Please book via website or contact us to secure your spot.

About Ben
Four years ago my view and approach to yoga would have been very different to what it is currently. I now hope to practice and teach from a place of listening first- trying to be more responsive and explorative, and less from a place of ego or certainty. We all move through our yoga practice differently, looking for varied meanings and insights, so all I can hope to do is encourage your self-inquiry and practice in a safe and supportive way.
If I had to prioritise my core values as a teacher and general human being, I would say that acknowledging my privilege, empowering students, being a mirror for growth, and creating safe spaces for all (genders, races, sexualities, religions and abilities) would be the things that rate most highly.
In the space you can expect my attention, warmth, confidentiality, fabulous outfits, fun flow based practices, and always my deep respect.
I am a proud member of the LGBTQI+ community and acknowledge my work occurs on ancient unceded Kaurna land.
