Queer Yoga #4 : JOY IN CONNECTION

About this event

Queer Yoga: A Two-Part Workshop Experience

In this edition of our Queer Yoga series, we invite you to a two-part journey exploring connection, embodiment, and shared presence.

12:00–13:15 | Vinyasa, Yin & Breathwork with Can
We begin with a gently building Vinyasa flow, transitioning into a grounding Yin practice and guided breathwork. This session offers a full-bodied yoga experience that moves between activation and softening.

Alongside the physical practice, we explore what it means to be in connection with another:
How do we experience joy when we are not alone?

What shifts in the body when we feel supported, witnessed, and held?
“The other” is not approached as something distant, but as someone who can support, reflect, and amplify our sense of presence and strength.

15-minute break

13:30–14:30 | Layered Mindfulness & Partner Work with Semih
In this second session, Semih guides a layered mindfulness practice that supports deeper awareness of the body through breath, sensation, and gentle movement. We move between individual exploration and simple partner-based exercises, always within a safe and respectful space where personal boundaries are honored.

The practice invites curiosity toward the senses—sight, sound, touch, and internal sensation—while cultivating a more compassionate relationship to the body. Through mindful listening, reflection, and shared presence, participants are encouraged to soften self-judgment and stay with experience as it unfolds.

Together, we explore what it means to be with others as queer bodies:
to recognize that being together can expand our capacity for strength, softness, and joy.
