Queer Yoga: A Guide to Well-Being Through Inclusive & Accessible Yoga

A Month-by-Month Guide to Yoga for Every Body, Every Identity, Every Soul

Featuring numerous rituals, sequences, meditations, and activities, this fresh approach to yoga views the eight limbs through a vibrant queer lens. Mookaite "Kite" Jasper thoughtfully weaves seasonal rhythms and LGBTQIA+ observances, presenting themed chapters like "I choose hope," "I create my own freedom," and "I belong."

Within each month, you'll find eight sections that support your physical and mental well-being and connect your yoga practice to broader queer experiences. This empowering guide offers a uniquely supportive path for both beginner and experienced yogis. With both seated and standing yoga options throughout, you're encouraged to:

- Celebrate Fresh Starts
- Find Community
- Stay Safe
- Come Home to Yourself
- Lean into Queer Joy
- Live with Courage
- Move Beyond the Binary
- Connect to Your Roots
- Increase Self-Worth
- Channel Queer Strength

Sharing heartfelt stories from their journey of coming out, navigating mental health, and teaching queer yoga, Kite invites you to embrace your authentic self, regardless of how you identify. With their guidance, you can develop a yoga practice that perfectly fits you.
