THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! In 2024, I was incredibly fortunate to receive a grant from the Yoga for Good Foundation for Enhancing Trauma-Sensitive Yoga for Youth in Detention in the Northern Territory. This support allowed me to visit eight prisons and youth detention centres across Australia, where I witnessed the powerful impact of yoga in some of the country’s most challenging settings.
I wanted to thank every single person that I have come across in this journey so far.
I am deeply grateful to the staff and inmates who welcomed me so openly into their spaces. To the nine generous, full-hearted yoga facilitators I met and had nourishing, supportive and insightful conversations around the highs and challenges of prison yoga. Every single conversation and suggestion has stayed with me.
A huge thank you to Mint Key (with support from the Business Enterprise Centre NT) for guiding me through the grant application process.
To Act Belong Commit from Curtin University for supporting me through their training Deadly MindsTM Certified Indigenous Youth Yoga Teacher Training—ensuring I facilitate yoga that is culturally safe and responsive.
And thank you to Zenergy Yoga for reminding me how fun, playful, and deeply meaningful yoga with kids can be.
With deep gratitude and respect for everyone on my journey, THANK YOU 🙏

Cultivating Joy …

Psychologist and trauma expert Peter Levine says joy is an experience of expansion, whereas fear is one of deep contraction. Cultivating joy is an important component of resilience as it increases our capacity to face difficulties. “Imagine if every time you stretched a rubber band, it would become more resilient, so rather than wearing out, it would increase its capacity, able to take more stretches without breaking,” he says.

So even when there are obstacles which cause contraction, that expansion afforded to us by joy comes to our rescue. “The more we increase this capacity, the less overwhelming emotions will be,” Levine says. For instance, trauma stretches us beyond our capacity to deal with a certain challenging situation, and we become overwhelmed with sensations and emotions. The problem isn’t that the sensations and emotions are too strong but that our capacity to hold and process them is maxed out. When we continue to cultivate joy, we gain the ability to feel the overwhelm without becoming overwhelmed ourselves.

(Words are not mine! I read them from my colleague Michelle Beck addressing the ideas of Peter Levine - whose work you can explore via )
