Q Center

Breathwork can be a powerful pathway for reconnecting with the body, releasing stress, and restoring balance in the nervous system. Combining it with Reiki can help soften resistance, release stored tension, and create a greater sense of safety and grounding in the body.

come out to transFIGURE Sunday at the Q Center! As always, be trans, be masked, bring your own supplies, and only pay what you can. We hope to see you there.

This space will primarily focus on body awareness rather than mobilization like your more typical yoga environment. Attendance is at no cost, but any donations to Alty, the Q Center, or your local favorite nonprofit are greatly appreciated.
