Thank you to Senator Jess Collins for your passionate question today Question Time.

It was lovely to see a Senator angry at what the Minister of Veterans Affairs is proposing and the Prime Minister supporting it.

Please share so we can maintain the momentum for our Veterans & their familes. 🙏🩷🎗🇦🇺

This is why I teach trauma sensitive & adaptive yoga.

I served 11 years in the Royal Australian Navy as a medic & as a result I have PTSD along with physical injuries.

Everyday I struggle with my physical & mental injuries from my service & generational trauma of war service.

I have been fortunate enough to fly to Canberra to speak about:
● Scrapping this $5K cap that the Australian Labor Government have proposed,
● Continue to let Veterans see the GP's & Specialist we have a relationship,
● Investigate the Department of Veterans Affairs & rebuild it as bandaid fixes arent working.

For the Veterans & their families who feel their voices are not being heard, we are fighting!

Today, I along with a group of Veterans spent 12 hours at Parliament House attending back to back meetings with Ministers, Senators & Members of Parliament. Telling every single one of them our stories & the stories of those we know & how detrimental it is for this Cap To Be Scrapped!

We will be back again tomorrow before flying out tomorrow night, getting in around 11pm... in time for Wednesday's yoga class.

Rockingham is home to the second largest Veteran population in this country & home to the largest Navy base. We are hurting & have been for a long time- hence why I started teaching my style of yoga- to save lives!

So please, share to your networks to both educate the public & to let Veterans & their families that we are fighting for our brothers & sisters.

Veterans don't have a union, so we are representing ourselves. Even though we have physical & mental injuries, we are fighting! We cant afford to lose anymore lives, too many have already been lost.

Veterans Supporting Veterans- thats where the true magic is! 🙏🩷🎗🇦🇺

Another unedited adaptive yoga class uploaded onto YouTube for those who aren't able to make it to class.

As always, I am just me and these classes are adaptive and 'No Fluff'.

Please remember, if you're ever needing to reach out to speak to someone, please do.

For our Veterans: we are navigating some uncharted waters at the moment, it is vital to reach out when you need.

It doesn't matter if you're still wearing the uniform or not, we are family - Our Veteran Family.

In this class we mainly worked on stretching the neck and back usin...

As I say in our yoga classes: be mindful of your “Monkey Mind.” 🐒🧘‍♀️

When you’re transitioning in or out of a pose, or simply observing what comes up while you hold a pose, pause and notice what your mind is telling you.

Observe your thoughts. Don’t absorb them.

You may catch yourself spiraling into negativity or questioning why you’re even bothering when something feels difficult.

And honestly… that’s where the magic is! ✨

If you feel safe to do so, use this opportunity as an invitation to get curious and ask yourself questions like:

“Why am I resisting this pose?”
"What am I noticing within my body as I hold this pose?"

Notice what emotions arise too. If you feel safe and comfortable to do so, sit with them for a moment.

It’s when we don’t feed an emotion, and we simply allow the emotion space, that the emotion can come and go more freely.

This isn’t always easy. And please don’t think you’re failing if you find it hard, so many people aren’t even aware when an emotion shows up. That’s part of the journey!

Please remember: always listen to your body. You have the agency to come out of the pose whenever you need.

Somatic practices such as yoga are about positive experiences and not pushing past what feels safe.

Pushing yourself physically and/or emotionally when you don’t feel safe won’t create the kind of experience you’re working towards. 🙏🩷

It’s when you people please that you lose who you really are.

Instead, take a step back and listen to what your body is telling you, not your head.

Do you feel tired, exhausted, and stressed when you leave a certain environment or person?

Or, do you feel calm, happy, and energised?

Tune in to your body. Your body knows long before your head ever catches up. 🙏🩷

When you choose to go against the grain because it doesn’t align with your values or beliefs, don’t be disheartened when others react and start talking about you.

What you irritate in others is often what they need to work on.

You’re not responsible for protecting people who feel hurt because you’re maintaining your boundaries. That’s on them, not you.

So keep being you. If you’re not hurting anyone, then who cares what others think -seriously! 🙏🩷

Meditation: Setting yourself up for the day.

"Where your attention goes, energy flows" &
"What you seek, you shall find."

Remember: Journaling is a form of meditation, walking is a form of meditation. Anything you find that is mindful, is a form of meditation.

The secret is to find what suits you and what works for you. 🙏🩷
