Description: Queer critique queer practice: embodied teachings for healing from trauma and social injustice. Jacoby Ballard provides an empowering and affirming guide to embodied healing through yoga and the dharma grounded in the brilliance resilience and lived experiences of queer folks. Part I deconstructs the ways mainstream yoga perpetuates queer - and transphobia and other systemic oppressions exploring the intersections of yoga capitalism cultural appropriation and sexual violence. Ballard also addresses the trauma - - complex vicarious historical and collective - - perpetuated against queer communities. In response he offers tools for self - compassion tonglen lovingkindness and grounding and helps readers explore questions like: What is trauma? How is it a product of injustice - - and how can healing it create justice? The world won't stop being homo - and transphobic so how do I encounter that in a way that does the least harm? How do we love what is uniquely trans about us? What are affinity groups and why do we need them? In part II Ballard offers a queer - centered fully embodied and equity - rooted practice with meditations practices and sequences for processing and healing from trauma individually and in community. He explains concepts like lovingkindness letting go compassion joy forgiveness and equanimity through a queer lens and pairs each with corresponding meditations practices and beautiful line drawings of queer bodies. Enhanced with stories from Ballard's personal practice and professional experience teaching yoga in schools prisons conferences and his weekly Queer and Trans Yoga class A Queer Dharma is a guidebook reclamation and unapologetically queer heart offering for true healing and transformation.
