"Queer Yoga is an inviting, year—long companion to your yoga practice, with monthly themes that build thoughtfully on one another. Each chapter is infused with queer yoga philosophy, the author's lived wisdom, joyful rituals, and journaling prompts, and every step includes variations for different bodies and minds. It's an interactive and accessible sanctuary of a book, and I'm excited to weave it into my year."
—Katy Lees, author of The Trans Guide to Mental Health and Well—being and Queer Minds

"Queer Yoga invites yoga practitioners to embrace their unique identities and sexualities with joy. This is the kind of yoga community I needed when I was coming out as a bisexual young adult — welcoming, celebratory, and accessible. Mookaite Jasper translates contemplations into tangible practices for deeper embodiment."
—Emily Anderson, yoga therapist, C—IAYT at All Bodies Welcome Yoga

"At the heart of the yoga teachings is the essential concept of unity in diversity. This is the recognition that we are simultaneously all the same and completely different. Our spiritual essence is universal, but our bodies, our minds, and our lived experiences are completely individual. In other words, we don't need to be anything other than ourselves to have a profound spiritual connection. This is the message of Queer Yoga, a book that celebrates our diversity like a warm hug, holding us closely and whispering in our ear, 'You are loved exactly as you are.'"
—Jivana Heyman, director of Accessible Yoga and author of Accessible Yoga, Yoga Revolution, and The Teacher's Guide to Accessible Yoga
