Mookaite Jasper
Mookaite (they / them) is a non-binary teacher who has been practicing yoga for 10 years. They are passionate about inclusive and accessible yoga, and believe that yoga is for all bodies. Since completing their 200 hours training in York with YogaCampus, Mookaite went on to qualify as a Yin Yoga teacher (also with YogaCampus) and also studied with the Accessible Yoga School. They are training to become a Gentle Years teacher with the British Wheel of Yoga, to teach chair yoga to older adults.
Mookaite comes to yoga through a mental health lens, with movement and meditation forming a big part of their own self-care living with bipolar disorder. They founded Queer Yoga North in Saltburn and Middlesbrough, to share the mental health benefits of yoga with others in the LGBTQIA+ community.
Description
We are celebrating the seasonal day of Beltane this week. We'll have all our usual social activities, with the added option to take part in extra yoga related activities around the theme of Beltane. Our social happens every Monday 7.30-9pm after the yoga class, which takes place 6-.7.30pm. The social includes crafts, board games, the Queer Library, and a chance to sit quietly with a jigsaw and chat, or chill quietly. You can join the social without booking onto the yoga. Both events are in the same room, so please wait outside the door until 7.30pm if you are not joining the yoga. The venue is wheelchair accessible with accessible toilets.
