Facilitated by Susan Varro, a certified LGBTQ yoga instructor with over 25 years of experience advocating for and serving the queer community, this class offers grounding practices, mindfulness, and connection in a supportive environment.
🧘♀️ What You’ll Experience:
- Gentle, accessible poses for every body
- Practical tools to manage stress and anxiety

No flexibility required! Just come as you are. Wear comfortable clothing, bring water, and if you have a yoga mat, bring it along. (A limited number of mats will be available.)
🌟 Meet Your Instructor: Susan Varro
Hi! I’m Susan Varro—a certified yoga instructor, passionate LGBTQ advocate, and Direct Support Professional working with individuals on the autism spectrum and those with developmental or physical disabilities.
Yoga and mindfulness have been powerful tools in my life and in the lives of those I’ve had the privilege to teach. For over 25 years, I’ve created and facilitated programs that help the LGBTQ community navigate life’s unique challenges, offering support, healing, and connection through accessible practices.
My approach is grounded in compassion, empowerment, and inclusivity. I believe yoga isn’t about how you look—it’s about how you feel, and how it helps you show up for yourself and your community. My mission is to hold space where everyone, regardless of background or ability, can breathe, move, and belong.
