LGBTQ+ Yoga
with Cathy Hassett

Celebrate Pride at Butler Gallery by joining us for a free LGBTQ+ Yoga workshop hosted by instructor Cathy Hassett.

After noticing very few activities for the LGBTQ+ community in Kilkenny Cathy wanted to bring people together through yoga and create a safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals to participate and build community. Cathy reached out to the Butler Art Gallery in Kilkenny to host our 1st LGBTQ+ yoga class on the 4th of May in conjunction with sporting pride which was a great success and there will be many more classes to come.
