Join us for a neurodivergent-friendly body doubling hour on Zoom! We'll hang out and do our own thing side-by-side in a shared virtual space. Practice yoga, read a book, make art, call a loved one, fold laundry… you’re invited to use this time in the way that’s most beneficial to you. Facilitated by Becky Aten (they/she).

Third Tuesday of every month. Two times to choose from (register for one or both):

• US & Europe: 10am-11am Central Time (Chicago, US)

If this is your first time participating in a body doubling group, here's how it works:

• Join the Zoom at the session time.
• We'll take 5 minutes to share our intentions for the hour (practice yoga, read a book, fold laundry, make phone calls, etc.). You can use the chat or unmute to share, whatever you prefer.
• We'll spend the next 50 minutes with our mics muted, completing our individual tasks. The host camera will stay on, so you'll always have virtual company while you do your thing. You can turn your camera on/off as you wish.
• In the last 5 minutes before the session ends, I'll invite everyone to check in to share how it went. You can use the chat or unmute to share, whatever you prefer.

Join us on Zoom (live & recorded) for a 90-minute workshop that invites yoga teachers and practitioners to explore a view of yoga beyond the dominant cultural lens of binaries and hierarchies. Come learn and experience yoga with us!

All are welcome. Facilitated by Becky Aten (they/she). Registered participants will receive access to the recording within 48 hours of the event.

Neuroqueering yoga, what's that? Society’s expectations for the ways we think, feel, move, connect, experience gender, or love don’t reflect true human potential; when we expand our view of what’s possible, the world brightens. “Neuroqueering” was originally conceived to describe a practice of liberating oneself from neuronormativity and heteronormativity simultaneously, available to anyone who wishes to experience it, regardless of identity (Nick Walker, 2021). In other words, we're inviting ourselves to release expectations that we have to fit into society's checkboxes, and see what unfolds naturally.

As an experience of connection with true Self, yoga transcends the limiting checkboxes of identity labels and diagnoses that are often necessary for queer and neurodivergent folks navigating our social world. Neuroqueering yoga is an act of creating space for our natural ways of being to shine, through slow, small, kind steps toward unmasking and embracing our differences.

Join us to explore what it’s like to neuroqueer yoga in ways that invite new understandings of ourselves and fellow humans. We’ll learn, practice, and share together in a neurodivergent-friendly space. You’re encouraged to show up just as you are, with no expectations beyond honoring ahimsa (Sanskrit for non-harm). Participate however you wish, cameras on or off. Sharing is always optional.

What’s on offer:

• An introduction to the concept of “neuroqueering,” and ways this applies to yoga practice.
• A sampling of accessible, neuro-affirming yoga practices for self-exploration.
• A welcoming, low-demand space to reflect on your experiences, share, and ask questions.

All are welcome. Facilitated by Becky Aten (they/she). Registered participants will receive access to the recording within 48 hours of the event.

This workshop is free for members and $25 for non-members. Tiered pricing and a "pay what you can when you can" option is available if payment is barrier. Email Becky at [email protected] for questions or assistance with registration.
