Patricia Adams, RYT-200,
Provides: Queer yoga teacher, bodyworker, and healing
artist
Offers sliding-scale Thai bodywork and donation-based
yoga especially for queer and trans* folk. Offerings are
trauma-informed, focused on safe space, liberation, and
accessibility. Thai bodywork can feel more accessible and
more comfortable than traditional massage because the
recipient remains clothed (vs undressing to be nearly or
completely nude), and rests on a supportive mat on the
ground (vs a massage table a few feet in the air). Sessions
include a discussion of what the recipient would like to
focus on, introductory centering/grounding breath work,
extensive therapeutic bodywork, and relaxation/restoration
time at the end.
Private yoga sessions are available as well.
