Ko wai mātou?

Nau mai, haere mai! We are The Joyful Movement.

We are a collective of Transgender and Non-Binary people and Queer allies pooling our expertise to transform the way that Queer people experience movement in Aotearoa. We are innovators, systems focused, and believe that movement is a powerful tool for healing and harm reduction in our community.

We know that Trans and Non-Binary people struggle to build a positive relationship with movement. We also know that this isn’t because of moral weakness or a personal failing.

We formed this organisation to champion what is possible when Trans and Non-Binary people are centred, our needs honoured, and the community is given space to innovate.
