Hello
I am a yoga therapist and yoga/qigong instructor and relaunching in 2024! More classes to follow…. 😊.

Those that know me know that I have had a shoulder and back injury (not yoga or qigong related!) that has kept me off teaching for nearly 13 months (except for brief stints at the Veterans Transition Centre late 2023) but I am so happy to be teaching again.

It was a brilliant concert Friday night by Xavier Rudd at Freo Prison & great to support the Veterans Transition Centre by collecting cans at the end of the night!! Such a cool fund-raising initiative and one we can all do.

Well yoga is amazing but not sure about this! 😄

Why???

One batch of clear air turbulence, and that passenger will need more than yoga to repair their back!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCENT

Firstly hello and Happy New Year to all our supporters and friends of 2020. It has been a pleasure to spend time with you on behalf IWI in the veteran community.

Sadly and after much thought we have decided that we have to close IWI for financial and personal reasons.

The work we have begun as IWI will still continue through Ease Yoga and Meditation. Since 2013 with At Ease I have offered free and low cost specialist yoga and iRest meditation for the military community and this will continue so I encourage you to follow or like this page for more information.

I would like to take this time to thank my fellow directors of IWI, Moore and Morris who have been involved and supportive from the start. I would like to thank all those who we have worked including Buddy up Australia, R and R Veterans Centre and Agile Accounting for their pro bono support.

A huge thank you to the yoga students we have met and spent time with. It has been an absolute pleasure and privilege to meet and spend time with you and we hope to see you all again at veteran events and in future yoga classes and retreats.

Please don't hesitate to contact me via mobile or email for more information.

A number of notices have gone out to current and former members of Special Operations regarding the alleged incidents in Afghanistan. It has come to our attention that some members involved have received these notices and do not have legal representation, or are hesitant to get legal assistance. If this applies to you or anyone you have served with, please get in touch.

Mick Bainbridge, former Special Forces Commando and former Special Operations Task Group Lawyer Glenn Kolomeitz have teamed up to provide specialised legal representation for members who require it, including witnesses. OLA have a team of former serving members ready to assist you. Here at OLA we understand the need to have truly independent legal advice. We’ll make sure you don’t get hung out to dry!

If you or anyone you know is served a notice contact OLA on 1300 185 196, or send an email to [email protected]

We have a bias for action and we’ve got you covered!

Peace of mind, equanimity and feeling alive are what you can gain from our therapeutic yoga and iRest methods.
