West Michigan LGBTQ+ Yoga & Wellness

Open to LGBTQ+ & Allies ages: 15-24

Location: The Playhouse at White Lake   |   Whitehall, Michigan

This entirely FREE, community-style workshop for allies and LGBTQ+ members will encourage exploration and discovery, as we spend 2.5 hours in good company, investigating the permission that we each possess and the opportunities we give ourselves to be freely and fully who we are.

This gentle yoga and self inquiry workshop is meant to open up our minds, hearts, and bodies to the truth of who we are and how we want to show up for our lives. Make new friends as you join other 15-24 year olds to spend time together as we examine FREEDOM AND PERMISSION, to be ourselves, and to celebrate the most authentic versions of ourselves.

What one can expect.

This FREE workshop is led by two certified yoga instructors, Carrie VanDuinen and Cindy Beth Davis-Dykema.  Thirty minutes of spinal and floor work in gentle yoga will be followed by guided, individual journaling and a guided group discussion, led by Carrie and Cindy Beth. No experience is required or necessary for the movement or writing portions of the workshop. All materials are provided, and each registrant gets snacks and drinks and goes home with their own Young: Equal t-shirt, and their own new journal, carrying the experience of the workshop.

Young: Equal is a new nonprofit promoting self-acceptance, community and love for all LGBTQ+ members. Formed to support this community, board members all across the nation are bringing LGBTQ+ celebration and programming to towns all over America in both in-person and virtual formats.  You can learn more about the organization, donate to the cause, share the event or register for the workshop at youngequal.org
