Creative pelvic care through yoga
Pelvic health is often approached through a narrow, cis-normative, and white-centric lens—leaving many of us feeling excluded, misunderstood, or uncared for. Queering Pelvic Health is a five-week virtual series weaving together yoga, education, and community discussion to reimagine pelvic care through a queer, liberatory lens.
We’ll reclaim our pelvis as a site of power, complexity, and creativity beyond the gender binary. Our goal is not to “fix” anything, but to explore new possibilities for relief and ease, and imagine pelvic health as something rooted in creativity and self-intimacy, and collective care.
This space centers queer, trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive folks, while welcoming anyone interested in inclusive and progressive approaches to pelvic care. You’ll connect with others through community discussion and resource sharing.
Who is this series for?
This series is for anyone interested in progressive models of pelvic care. We’ll navigate the intersection of gender, sexuality, and pelvic health. This series is especially for you if you:
Have experienced a lack of gender-competent care in medical spaces
Practice gender-affirming modalities (like binding, packing and tucking) and want specific ways to care for you pelvis
Live with pelvic pain (including endometriosis, vaginismus, vulvodynia, or related conditions)
Experience a high-tone (or tight) pelvic floor
Feel pain or discomfort during sex (solo or partnered)
Hold chronic tension in the hips, lower back, or pelvic region
No prior yoga experience is necessary—this series is designed to be gentle, inclusive, and adaptable to your body’s needs.
What to Expect Each Week

Week 4: Repatterning + Reconnection

Reflect together: what practices best support your unique pelvis?
Why Now?
Escalated attacks on queer healthcare, and particularly trans health care, are making affirming pelvic care even harder to access. This series offers space to learn about and explore this vulnerable part of our body alongside queer community. We reclaim anatomy from a liberatory lens— not to restrict or label our bodies, but to more deeply understand them.
Rather than solely relying on the medical industrial complex, diversify care for yourself through community resources and education, movement and breath, and artistic expression.
