Queering Yoga (Trailer)
Queering Yoga is a feature documentary film that follows six Queer, Trans, and QTPOC yoga teachers—Chani Nicholas, Deontre Martin, Jacoby Ballard, Richelle Donigan, Roshan Sukumar, and Skeeter Barker—as they share powerful stories of healing, transformation and their journeys with yoga. Weaving together identity, spirituality, and social justice, the film celebrates how these teachers are decolonizing practice and reshaping yoga into a space of liberation, inclusion and collective care.
Initially brought on as editor, I helped shape the film’s narrative through an intersectional QTPOC and South Asian Queer lens, ensuring a decolonized perspective. As the project evolved, I contributed additional camera work and wrote a poem that is interspliced throughout the film, supporting and connecting its narrative sections. I also collaborated closely with the music composer, overseeing post-production music. TRT: 44 minutes
