This week on Intersections, we are joined by Leni (they/he), a Trans non binary yoga instructor, mentor, and facilitator who leads Queer yoga classes and retreats.

Join us for a grounding conversation on healing, identity, and the power of intentional community. NB. Please note that at the time of recording Leni's name was Leonie.
