OUR STORY

The Body is Home is a multidisciplinary research initiative based in the Greater Toronto Area, Canada. Our work focuses on exploring what it means to be at home in our bodies through movement and community.

We aim to restore individual choice and connection for collective healing and radical care, promoting social change by centring embodied and archival practices as transformative tools. It is the act of movement and fostering community that helps us forge relationships with ourselves and others.

OUR BEGINNING

​In 2024, the Body is Home initiative was developed based on the personal experience of its founder, Asha Edwin, who sought to explore the breadth of wellness and its impact on well-being, informed by her experiences as a yoga teacher, training and running her first marathon.

OUR PROGRESS

Through this, we challenge notions of intimacy, pleasure, displacement, resilience, and representation, explore the meaning of ‘home,’ and examine how we define, affirm, and challenge our individual and collective identities through participation in and reimagination of movement and community and their impact on wellbeing.

OUR MISSION

The Body is Home envisions a future where every individual feels a sense of connection and belonging within their own body and within their community. We strive to cultivate a society that honours and celebrates diverse human experiences, where the concept of 'home' extends beyond physical spaces to include a deep and meaningful relationship with one's body, safety, choice, and surroundings.
