Community Programs
Community members can participate in a host of programs and activities designed to engage their minds, bodies, and spirits. It is a safe and supportive space where individuals can care for themselves beyond their physical well-being. Class topics are diverse, ranging from yoga and meditation to financial literacy, and nutrition. We see wellness as broad and holistic, rather than just a chance to flex! Whether you like to lift weights, learn new things, or participate in group activities or group classes, the Wellness Center has something for you! We don’t make assumptions about your identity or abilities. We want to be part of creating a world where LGBTQ+ people can feel strong in their bodies, whatever those bodies look like.
Tuesdays at 5:30 pm & Thursdays at 6:00 pm every week.
Join us twice a week for an hour-long LGBT-inclusive yoga session led by Janus Stroh in the Wellness Center at our Cameron St. location. Janus is Trained in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Hatha Yoga, and Yin Yoga and incorporates one or more of these styles into each lesson. Mats, Blocks, and yoga blankets are available on-site but feel free to bring your own. A short, guided meditation follows most sessions. All bodies are welcome. This program is donation only/pay what you can (suggested donation $10).
