Sex, Gender, & Identity in Yoga Online Course
$150.00
Course Description
What does it mean to be a woman or a man? Or neither? Or both? How does gender and sexuality, those seemingly most personal and private of attributes, emerge on the mat as performative expressions of identity rather than a living practice of exploration?
The Sex, Gender, & Identity in Yoga Online Course creates a foundation for discussing major concepts that influence our history, understanding, and interconnectedness to sex, gender, and identities. We will examine how gender, as an object of study and as a lived experience, affects our yoga practice, our teaching methods, and our community reach.
This self-study approach gives each student the time and space to dive into the material and connect with its personal application.
This course is for anyone who wanted to build their own capacity to understand sex, gender and identity and the intersections of these core facets within yoga and wellness spaces.
