LGBTQIA+ Specific Topics

Yoga therapy can be very supportive when working with many LGBTQ specific topics including:

• Self-care when living with systemic stress/trauma related to gender/sexuality/race

• (Re)connecting with your body

• Being authentically you

• Releasing shame and the sense of not being enough.

• Navigating changes and transitions related to coming out, gender transition, hormone therapy, fluidity, living in another country, etc

• Post surgery recovery

• Finding self-care and wellness practices that work for you

• Working with consent and boundaries

• Experiencing rest, restoration and healing

Health and Wellness

Yoga therapy is also recommended by healthcare practitioners for many health and wellness topics including:

• Stress, Burnout, fatigue, mild anxiety, mild depression

• Sleep difficulties

• Pain

• Mobility, functional strength, flexibility, recovery

• Heart health, diabetes, chronic illness

• Life satisfaction, goal attainment

Even when people have the best of intentions, experiences of emotional labor, judgement and harm often occur in spaces which are intended for health and wellness. This dynamic can increase inner stress reactions, anxiety and avoidance of the spaces and care that we as LGBTQIA+ people need.

It is my hope that Collaborative Motion can provide a safer and courageous space of growth and healing for LGBTQIA+ people, whether they come for LGBTQ specific issues or general health, wellbeing and personal or spiritual development.

Collaborative Motion is about supporting desired flow and movement in your life; Whether physically, emotionally, mentally, in external circumstances or as is so often the case, all of the above.

Yoga therapy is a beautiful holistic modality for this work and in my approach, I integrate my training and experience with somatic coaching, mindfulness, compassion, Clinical Somatics and CliftonStrengths in supporting you.

It’s easy to spend a lot of time wrestling…

• with who we are,

• the bodies we have and how they look or feel and

• the circumstances of our lives

No matter the topic, at the heart of my approach, is a fundamental invitation to slowly and gently connect to and even befriend your self, your body and your life.

We do this by:

• Coming in kind contact with our body

• Finding strength in our selves, our queerness or transness

• Increasing wellbeing in our lives where possible

• Decreasing unnecessary suffering as possible
