What we’re about
This is a group for LGBTQ+Allies people only (18+ years old) who wish to practice yoga, meditation, qigong/tai chi, in a welcoming space as a means to deepen their spirituality and meet new friends. Join for classes, workshops and LGBTQ+Allies socials.
All yoga classes are suitable for beginners to experienced yogis. We seek to create a sangha (community of practitioners) who support and inspire each other to reach our full human potential and realize our inner Divine nature. We seek ways to share the beauty and depth of yoga and meditation with other marginalized groups who have been historically disenfranchised from access to these spiritual practices. We wear name tags with pronouns so everyone is gendered correctly.
Come and enjoy an extraordinary personal experience of yoga in community. Join us on the mat where we will honor and empower your journey of personal growth, healing and well-being. You are worthy. Your body is a temple. The only time we have is now.
We practice in an air conditioned, newly carpeted yoga studio that exudes peace and tranquility, in the heart of West Hartford with plenty of free parking in the lot in front of our building.
We offer discounted first-class and 3-class card packs:

Yoga for LGBTQ+Allies beginners or yogis with some experience. Come out and join us for a joyful class and the opportunity to connect with like-minded people.
Our bodies are unique so beginners are encouraged to take their time and adapt slowly to the postures, resting as they deem appropriate for their bodies. Modifications to postures are suggested to accommodate individual needs. Props such as chairs, blocks, straps, bolsters and blankets are available in studio to assist you.
Yoga is a practice that cultivates joy, concentration, mindfulness, body awareness, flexibility, health and serenity. Simply put, yoga is fun. It is not a sequence of masochistic exercises!
This does not mean we practice yoga haphazardly. Quite the contrary. We bring body, breath, mental focus and magnanimous spirit to every asana (posture.) We are fully present . . . but without strain, tension, self-judgment or perfectionism.
Mats, bolsters, blankets, blocks, and straps provided. 90-minute class includes asanas (postures) pranayama (breath-work) and meditation.
If this is your first time practicing yoga with us, please check out this post for directions to our studio and class guidelines:
