Lesbian Couples Who Strap And Share: The Yoga Video

Product Information

To all the wonderful cities of the world? London, Paris, Rome, New York, New Orleans, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego? One could certainly enjoy an adventurous and fun lesbian holiday, even a major romantic getaway on that itinerary. This 3 day retreat in the United Kingdom with a focus on meditation is a perfect example. It takes place in lovely Snowdonia National Park in North Wales under the guidance of David Johnson , International Buddhist MeditationTeacher, Author & Retreat Leader, and Manuel Orozco Jimenez, Accredited Yoga Teacher & RetreatCoordinator. Where you can soak up the sun on stunning jungle and tropical beaches during a meditation experience, hike, or snorkel excursion? But here, as we flowed through sun salutation, something shifted. Surrounded by other LGBTQs, I felt seen and uplifted in a way I’d never been in yoga class.

In the familiar big cities or out in quiet places, retreats for lesbian travelers and the LGBTQ community have grown considerably as of late, and are available worldwide in 2023/2024.

These stressors carry lifelong consequences. Almost half of transgender adults report depression or anxiety, compared with 6.7 percent and 18 percent of the general U.S. population, respectively. Well, it's happening in a boutique country house estate nestled in spectacular Somerset, United Kingdom rural scenery.

As connections are made explicit in yoga classes, participants can return to them at home. As Morgan says, yoga “causes one to look inward and to find a quiet place of peace in the mind and body. Once a person learns this skill, it can be applied in any situation in life that is challenging.” These concepts weren’t new to me, but here, surrounded by queer and trans folks, I made a new connection to them. I appreciated this teacher’s brief explanation of her own yoga journey. She began practicing yoga as rehabilitation of an old injury. She felt relatable. She couldn’t do yoga perfectly, either.The LGBTQ community class was a beginner-level class. I recognized many of the people in the room from previous events at the center (I’d moved on from Boston a couple years earlier) . The yoga teacher talked my fellow yogis through poses I knew well. While she explained the body mechanics of low lunges and forward folds, she emphasized breathwork and tuning in to the body. Through mentions of the chakra system and, in later classes, of Ayurvedic doshas, she maintained a cultural connection that, as yoga has become more popular in the West, is too often lost or appropriated, like those “Namastay in Bed” tees. And then enjoy unique healthy gourmet culinary meals morning through evening, before or after yoga class twice daily offered by a retreat expert, and participate in a holistic wellness workshop?
