The Museum offers a new series of access-centered yoga classes taught by Jess Dene Schlesinger where all bodies, minds, and variations are valued. Each class will offer gentle movement with safe alignment, connection to the elements, and mindful awareness of our "felt-sense" throughout a sequence. Many variations for movements will be provided if the ones given do not work for your body or mind.
Jess Dene Schlesinger is a white/Jewish queer disabled femme teacher, healer, and social justice activist. She began practicing yoga 16 years ago in an attempt to manage the physical and emotional pain resulting from various disabilities and traumas. She found, however, that most yoga classes she attended were not accessible for her needs. Jess continued to practice yoga on her own and explored various spiritual, psychological, and physical tools for healing personal and sociological trauma. She created Access-Centered Movement by combining trauma informed language, Disability Justice (a movement started by disabled queer people of color), and her lived experience as a sick and disabled queer.
