We hope to create a yoga community for queer folks to enjoy group practice and connect with others. Our classes will follow a gentle flow / slow vinyasa style, with a focus on finding some time for you, to find safety within your own body away from judgement or comparisons. A space where you can take a moment to notice how you feel as you take your time to move in a way that feels right for you and connect with your breath.
The group is lead by yoga teachers Megan, Ash, Jen and Aistė supported by LGBT Health & Wellbeing.
Mats will be provided but feel free to bring your own. You can bring along any extra props, blocks, straps or blankets if you like (but not necessary). Chairs can also be provided if needed for extra support – please just let us know.
Any questions at all, please get in touch. Hope to see you there!

About Donations or Tiered ticketing system
Participation in our community-led events is often on a voluntary ‘by donation’ basis or based on a 3 tiers system. This means that nobody is expected to make a payment if they cannot afford to do so. However any donations received will be shared between the Centre and the facilitator, helping to make the events’ programme sustainable as well as to provide some reciprocity towards community facilitators’ time and skills offered.
Where a “suggested donation” is listed, this is just an indication of what the event might cost if it was ticketed – it is fine to donate less (or nothing at all). Donating is one way to show your appreciation for the value of the Salisbury Centre. Please consider ‘paying it forward’ by donating a bit extra helping to keep it possible for everyone to take part, whatever their circumstances.
To donate bring cash or donate online www.salisburycentre.org/donate (Please use reference “EVENT NAME” when submitting). Card payment option available in the entrance hall.
If you cannot afford, please get in touch with the facilitator to request a free/discounted place.
An invitation to practice ‘Dana’ (generosity) – please pay only what you can afford to attend.
