Join Mandi Hood and Nicolette Regina for a special all levels Bhakti Flow fundraiser to provide relief aid to rural trans artists, sex workers, and HIV+ folks in India. We’ll start with kirtan (chanting) then move into an energizing flow with plenty of time after for some juicy restorative poses, and more kirtan to guide you out of savasana. Find refuge and sweet release in this empowering practice and support folks in India while you’re doing it!

This is a donation-based class to support folks in need, so give what you can - ALL ARE WELCOME!

Proceeds will go to support artists, sex workers, and HIV-positive folks from the trans community in Tamil Nadu, India. The second wave of COVID-19 in India has been especially hard on vulnerable, disenfranchised and marginalized communities. Socially excluded but religiously important, these artists depend on the auspicious spring season to perform at rituals and gatherings to earn their livelihood for the rest of the year. These three months, which have been taken over by the lockdown, are their only source of income for the entire year. They live on the outskirts of their villages and are often denied food, housing, or any form of support from other villagers. Funds from our fundraiser will provide people with ration supplies, rent and medical support for the next three months.
