Are you tired of feeling excluded and dismissed by mainstream yoga practices? Do you long for a yoga and meditation guide that truly embraces and empowers your queer identity? Look no further! Introducing "A Queer Dharma: Yoga and Meditations for Liberation" by Jacoby Ballard. This groundbreaking book provides an affirming and transformative approach to healing trauma and dismantling social injustice.
In Part I, Ballard skillfully deconstructs the ways in which mainstream yoga perpetuates queer- and transphobia, cultural appropriation, and other systemic oppressions. By exploring the intersections of yoga, capitalism, and sexual violence, he reveals the trauma perpetuated against queer communities. But he doesn't stop there. Ballard equips readers with invaluable tools for self-compassion, tonglen, lovingkindness, and grounding, helping them navigate the complexities of trauma and injustice.
Part II of the book introduces a queer-centered, fully embodied, and equity-rooted practice. Ballard presents a range of meditations, practices, and sequences designed to process and heal from trauma, both individually and in community. With a queer lens, he explores concepts like lovingkindness, letting go, compassion, joy, forgiveness, and equanimity, offering a unique perspective on these transformative practices. And let's not forget the stunning line drawings of queer bodies that beautifully accompany each practice.
What sets "A Queer Dharma" apart is Ballard's personal experiences and professional expertise. Drawing from his own yoga teaching journey in various settings, including schools, prisons, conferences, and his Queer and Trans Yoga class, he infuses the book with authenticity and real-world application. This guidebook is a true reclamation of queer identities and a powerful invitation to embark on a journey of true healing and transformation.
Don't let mainstream yoga practices continue to marginalize and erase your queer identity. Take control of your healing journey and reclaim your power with "A Queer Dharma: Yoga and Meditations for Liberation." Embrace this unapologetically queer-hearted offering and be prepared to experience true liberation. Order your copy today for a life-changing experience! Click here to order.
