Trans and Allies Group Fitness Class: Masala Bhangra

Join Positive Space and Ryerson Athletics and Recreation for a virtual group Masala Bhangra class for trans folks and allies. Recognizing that sport spaces have a long history of being unwelcoming to and unsafe for gender non-conforming and trans folks, Ryerson Athletics and Recreation has undertaken specific initiatives to make their spaces and programs more welcoming. 

During the month of November, there will be multiple Trans & Allies Group Fitness classes available via broadcast through Zoom. All members of our Ryerson community who are committed to creating a positive space for trans folks are welcome to join the beginner-friendly classes. In our effort to create welcoming spaces, all of our instructors are trained in 2SLGBTQ+ inclusive principles. 

In addition to the November 5 class, be sure to check out weekly classes available throughout the month of November. Visit the Ryerson Athletics & Recreation website for the full schedule for more information.

About Trans Awareness Month at Ryerson

Trans Awareness Month at Ryerson is an annual initiative led by Positive Space. 

Ryerson community members are invited to participate in advocacy and educational events that celebrate, honour and raise the visibility of the trans community. We also honour the memory of trans people whose live were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence on November 20 for Trans Day of Remembrace. 

This year’s events were organized in partnership with committee members from the Library, The Catalyst at FCAD, Faculty of Community Services, Faculty of Communication and Design, Athletics, Human Resources, the Academic Success Centre, Internal Audit, Yeates School of Graduate Student and the Office of the Vice-President Administration and Operations.
