Description
"Queer critique, queer practice: embodied teachings for healing from trauma and social injustice"--,Provided by publisher.
Description
Ballard deconstructs the ways mainstream yoga perpetuates queer- and transphobia and other systemic oppressions, exploring the intersections of yoga, capitalism, cultural appropriation, and sexual violence. Ballard addresses the trauma perpetuated against queer communities. In response, he offers tools for self-compassion, lovingkindness, and grounding. He then offers a queer-centered, fully embodied, and equity-rooted practice with meditations, practices, and sequences for processing and healing from trauma individually and in community. The result is a reclamation, and unapologetically queer heart offering for true healing and transformation. -- adapted from back cover
