COST

£0-3


MORE INFO

We are over the moon to announce that Tina Freeland will be teaching Iyengar Yoga classes at Woodlands for People of Colour for the next year. The classes are free to attend and have been generously subsidised by Iyengar Yoga UK. By supporting these classes, IYUK are giving a clear signal about their intentions in becoming a more inclusive organisation. We thank them for listening to their POC members.

Tina is the chair of the Equity Committee of Iyengar Yoga UK and is charged with ensuring that Iyengar yoga is made more equitable and inclusive. However, many yoga spaces are perceived as the domain of "white middle-class”people. Without actively engaging with different groups of people, this stereotype will remain. She would like to not only spread the benefits of yoga, but also change the perception and enable People of Colour and people from the LGBTQIA + community to feel comfortable in a yoga class.

The classes will take place in our community meeting room, which is quite a small space. It will be on a first come first serve basis so please arrive a little early to get a spot. The classes are open to all People of Colour aged 18+ and all equipment will be provided.

Iyengar Yoga is the world’s most widely practised method of yoga, developed by Yogacharya Sri B.K.S. Iyengar and is a form of Hatha Yoga that promotes the art of yoga not simply as a physical practice. 

Iyengar yoga is also accessible to people of all abilities because of its use of props – such as foam bricks, blocks, belts and even chairs, that enable the practitioner to experience the essence of each asana no matter their physical capability. 

This means that every body is able to work to develop their strength, stability and mobility due to the teacher’s ability to adapt poses and therefore make classes inclusive, creating equal access for everyone.

Tina had been practicing Iyengar Yoga for over 20 years before she decided that she wanted to be a teacher. She began because yoga was recommended to help with her back problems and continued because of the benefits to her physical health and general well-being. Tina was attracted to the Iyengar method because it is authentic, and incorporates all aspects of the ancient yoga tradition.

By supporting these classes, IYUK are giving a clear signal about their intentions in becoming a more inclusive organisation. We thank them for listening to their POC members.

Tina is the chair of the Equity Committee of Iyengar Yoga UK and is charged with ensuring that Iyengar yoga is made more equitable and inclusive. However, many yoga spaces are perceived as the domain of "white middle-class”people. Without actively engaging with different groups of people, this stereotype will remain. She would like to not only spread the benefits of yoga, but also change the perception and enable People of Colour and people from the LGBTQIA + community to feel comfortable in a yoga class.

The classes will take place in our community meeting room, which is quite a small space. It will be on a first come first serve basis so please arrive a little early to get a spot. The classes are open to all People of Colour aged 18+ and all equipment will be provided.

Iyengar Yoga is the world’s most widely practised method of yoga, developed by Yogacharya Sri B.K.S. Iyengar and is a form of Hatha Yoga that promotes the art of yoga not simply as a physical practice. 

Iyengar yoga is also accessible to people of all abilities because of its use of props – such as foam bricks, blocks, belts and even chairs, that enable the practitioner to experience the essence of each asana no matter their physical capability. 

This means that every body is able to work to develop their strength, stability and mobility due to the teacher’s ability to adapt poses and therefore make classes inclusive, creating equal access for everyone.

Tina had been practicing Iyengar Yoga for over 20 years before she decided that she wanted to be a teacher. She began because yoga was recommended to help with her back problems and continued because of the benefits to her physical health and general well-being. Tina was attracted to the Iyengar method because it is authentic, and incorporates all aspects of the ancient yoga tradition.

MORE INFO

Climate Outreach:

Climate Outreach is the first British charity to focus exclusively on public engagement with climate change. Climate Outreach is passionate about widening and deepening public engagement with climate change, achieving this through audience research, practical guides and consultancy services, and helping hundreds of organisations engage diverse audiences beyond the usual suspects. This workshop will be facilitated by Fahmida Miah online.

The session and why it's relevant: 

  • This session will be an introduction to the impact of climate change on patterns of human movement

  • We know particular communities and countries are bearing the burden of climate change more intensely than others, this session will showcase testimonies from across the world to amplify the voices of those most impacted

  • It will explore how migration takes on many different forms and works as climate adaptation, and other key migrant justice concepts

  • It will also discuss dangerous narratives and their impact on the discussion and how to overcome this in communications with examples 

More about Climate Outreach here

Fahmida bio

Fahmida Miah is a Programme Manager at Climate Outreach, currently developing and delivering the organisation's migration programme, which explores the interconnections of climate change and human patterns of movement, and how to effectively and humanely communicate this intersection. Outside of work, she helps run Bangladeshi Diaspora Climate Action (BDCA), a network of UK Bangladeshi professionals leveraging their expertise to support climate action in Bangladesh and diaspora communities in the UK.

BOOKING

MORE INFO

Tina Freeland teaches Iyengar Yoga classes at Woodlands for People of Colour. The classes are free to attend and have been generously funded by Iyengar Yoga UK. By supporting these classes, IYUK are giving a clear signal about their intentions in becoming a more inclusive organisation. We thank them for listening to their POC members.

Iyengar yoga is also accessible to people of all abilities because of its use of props – such as foam bricks, blocks, belts and even chairs, that enable the practitioner to experience the essence of each asana no matter their physical capability. 

This means that every body is able to work to develop their strength, stability and mobility due to the teacher’s ability to adapt poses and therefore make classes inclusive, creating equal access for everyone.

Tina had been practicing Iyengar Yoga for over 20 years before she decided that she wanted to be a teacher. She began because yoga was recommended to help with her back problems and continued because of the benefits to her physical health and general well-being. Tina was attracted to the Iyengar method because it is authentic, and incorporates all aspects of the ancient yoga tradition.

All equipment is provided as part of the class. This event is open to all People of Colour aged 18+

The Queen Of My Dreams, (2023)

Running time 98 mins

Language - English, Urdu


Rating - 12


  • Queer Muslim graduate student Azra, returns to her native Pakistan after her father’s unexpected passing reconnecting with her strictly religious mother, Miriam. Despite the distance and ideological divide that have driven them apart, Azra and Miriam forge a new bond at the intersection of East and West. Evoking the vibrant spirit of Bollywood, The Queen Of My Dreams is a luminous dramedy about the complicated mother-daughter relationship. In her feature directorial debut, writer-director Fawzia Mirza crafts a semi-autobiographical triumph


Watch the trailer here. 


After the screening there will be time to discuss the film and surrounding issues. The screening aims to be a place of support and belonging for People of Colour and a place where white allies can take responsibility for their own learning. We hope to raise searching questions and explore issues in a supportive environment. It’s OK to make mistakes but please own your mistakes. 


The screening will take place at Flourish House. The film will be captioned and some light refreshments will be available. 


Flourish House is a short walk from a First Bus no.4 bus stop and St George’s Cross subway station. There are limited parking spaces directly outside the building along with parking payment meters.


This screening has been funded by Film Hub Scotland.

MORE INFO

Join us for this special Community Iftar dinner at Flourish House. Woodlands Community invites people, of all faiths and none, to come together to break bread at our Iftar Meal 23rd March. Iftar is the name of the meal eaten by Muslims at sunset to break their day’s fast during the month of Ramadan. It is the main meal of the day for those who are fasting. Iftar is a space of celebration and community. Eating together builds friendship, understanding and trust. It is a way of acknowledging our shared humanity.

There will be a separate space for prayer available in the venue.

These meals are run on a drop-in basis, with no need to book. All the food will be vegan/halal. Food is provided on a pay what you can afford basis, but is totally free to people struggling financially. Everyone is welcome to this meal, however we will prioritise people who are breaking their fast for Ramadan.

It is traditional to break the day’s fast with dates. We will have Palestinian dates on the table at our meal to show solidarity with the people of Palestine, many of whom are Muslims and unable to observe the holy month of Ramadan due to the ongoing genocide.

These meals are funded by GCVS Wellbeing Fund and Glasgow City Council.

Flourish House is a short walk from a First Bus no.4 bus stop and St George’s Cross subway station. There are limited parking spaces directly outside the building along with parking payment meters.

The second hour of our group is all about growing in our beautiful outdoor spaces. Come along with a jacket and some wellies to get stuck into growing carrots, pulling up potatoes or making art with leaves and mud!
