Qui’s project, entitled Bodywerq, aims to share information and start discussion around the power of yoga as a movement practice and healing art in queer and trans communities of color. Specifically directed toward these communities regardless of experience or physical limitations, Bodywerq will be a collection of filmed instructional yoga and meditation practices. In addition, a short documentary featuring both local and national queer and trans yogis of color will be produced, serving as a catalyst for meaningful discussion around honoring the identities of queer and trans people of color through yoga and the healing arts as well as their access to it.
