Dance as if UCARE! (Understanding Consciously and Releasing Emotions)

Our weekly Sunday LGBTQ+ Yoga classes, facilitated by Kirsten, will aim to engage with a variety of bodies and experiences. Whether new to yoga or familiar but in need of modifications, Kirsten will teach a class that both challenges and encourages participants to trust their bodies. An eclectic playlist will keep us moving, breaks will keep us breathing and poses will help us find ourselves in community with each other.

Kirsten is a 32 year old white, cis-passing gender confused queerdo, who grew up in Queens and has been calling Brooklyn home for 12 years. They're interested in movement practices that heal and embrace the fullness of all bodies. With sciatica and chronic pain, they're learning to honor their body rather than force it. Yoga has helped them through depression, pain and life shit. Feel free to email them regarding the class or modifications: Adoriank@gmail.com

Brooklyn Men's Group is a judgement free space for male identifying folks, to come together to empower and support one another through meaningful discussion.

We ask the questions ... How can we as male identifying folks define and embody mature masculinity? How can we increase our self-awareness? How can we show up better in our lives and those we love?

Join Mike on an interactive, fun, and explorative journey to being a well balanced man in today's modern world.

• Men of all ages and sexual orientation are welcomed and encouraged to join.
• Come as you are!
