SUMMARY:QueerFlow Yoga - Embrace Your Inner Rainbow!
DESCRIPTION:The rainbow flag we celebrate with pride has always found its home inside your subtle body. \nAccording to the yoga system\, the body has seven main energy centers named chakras. These energy centers have the capacity to flow as free + unbounded structures\, leading to deep connection to both the sacred + mundane. However for queer people\, the structures of colonization\, heteronormative ideology\, religious indoctrination\, + systems of oppression often suppress these core centers. \nThe path of the yogi is one of deep responsibility to our own undoing. \nIn this seven-week series\, we will tap into the intelligence of our sacred chakras as practical guides in this undoing. Through a journey of blending yoga philosophy + queer theory\, we will embrace a personal path toward liberation. \nJoin us on Tuesdays for the next seven weeks at 6 PM. We will meet in the heart of the Cargo District in Wilmington\, NC\, at Lemon Tree Embodiment Studio—look for the yellow door. Each offering in this series will focus on a unique Chakra\, with a structure that supports your awareness through discussion\, group mantra\, warm asana\, + mindful meditation.
