Trainer: Tinuola Bello (Integral Yoga Institute of New York)

The human body is the vehicle that carries us through our lives. With the right fuel, we can feel better, function at a higher level and prevent illness. But not everyone has time to shop, prep, cook and serve meals, and it's easy to become overwhelmed by the amount of information about nutrition that's available to us. This workshop will help attendees take charge of their meals to achieve greater vitality and energy while maintaining a budget, and will be conducted virtually with a live cooking demo.

Trainer: Finn Brigham (Callen-Lorde)

"Transgender Sensitivity" will help participants gain a better understanding of the transgender community. We will explore the building blocks of identity and the differences between sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex assigned at birth. We will present trainees with up-to-date vocabulary relating to these topics, including terms to avoid, and discuss the current legal protections for transgender and gender-nonconforming people.

These trainings will provide concrete strategies to create an inclusive environment that accommodates gender diversity for transgender colleagues and clients, starting at intake.
