A few takeaways from a night with Gabor Mate !

Trauma-Centered Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is not about fixing, changing, or achieving.

It’s an approach grounded in empowerment and choice.

One of the core principles of TCTSY is non-coercion—a practice of creating a space where you are invited, not instructed, to explore movement, breath, and awareness.

In TCTSY, the focus is always on your agency.

YOU decide what feels right for YOUR body. There are no expectations, no “right” way to move, and no judgment.

This aligns with the understanding that trauma can take away a sense of control over one’s body, and healing involves reclaiming that control.

What does this look like?

• Instead of being told how to move, you’re offered options.
• Instead of goals, there’s curiosity about how your body feels in the present moment.
• Instead of external validation, you’re encouraged to turn inward and notice your own experience.

Why is non-coercion important?

For those navigating trauma, being told what to do—even in supportive settings—can be triggering.

Non-coercion ensures that the power remains with you. It fosters safety and helps rebuild trust in your body and instincts.

What might you explore today if you felt no pressure to do it “right”?

Curious about TCTSY we have two new programs starting in January - dm or check out link in bio to find out more.

Did you know that connecting with nature can boost your mood, reduce stress, and enhance well-being?

Yep science is now backing up this fact that time in nature is good for us. If you don’t believe the science then maybe do your own little self study. Intentionally spend 60 minutes a day outside for the next 10 days and see how you feel!

It’s amazing how little time we actually spend outdoors these days - think back to when was the last time your bare feet made contact with the earth ?

This got me thinking - I have access to this big beautiful property (thanks sis) why not find a way to share it!

So this is your invitation to gather your family and friend and spend a morning outside.

A morning full of family fun yoga in a beautiful paddock surrounded by horses - yes please!!

Join us on Sunday, 3rd November for a Paddock Play Family Yoga Session, where the magic of nature, animals, and yoga come together.

Stretch, breathe, and move with your little ones while feeling the calming presence of the horses around you.

This is a chance to connect with your family, yourself, and the natural world.

Bring a mat or towel, your curiosity, and a playful spirit—we can’t wait to see you.

📅 When: Sunday, 3rd November
📍 Where: Allandale Hunter Valley (Lovedale road)

I am so very thankful for AUSactive for all there support to the Yoga Therapy industry.

I remember during my yoga teacher training and my yoga therapy training there wasn’t a huge emphasis on joining a registration body. However since being a part of the AAYT advisory group to AUSactive I really believe that having registration bodies, having industry standards, registered training providers etc is the way forward.

We look to the US and the UK where Yoga Therapy is now an accepted modality in the health care system it’s by having organisations like this and a team of dedicated individuals that are committed to educating and advocating for the profession that will see things change here in Australia.

If your a Yoga Teacher or Yoga Therapist out there wondering if joining a registration body is “worth it” I personally would say hello yes!

PS if you’re studying at the moment they also offer free student memberships so you can get involved and check it out whilst you study !

Massive thanks AUSactive for all your support these past 12 months looking forward to seeing the impact we can make over the years to come.

Over the past 12 months, we have been very pleased to embrace yoga therapy and continue to support yoga professionals. Recapping on the past twelve months, AUSactive has:

✅ Hosted many yoga therapy sangha webinars with various presenters, attracting over 800 industry professionals

✅ Acknowledged and recognised the significant service of yoga therapists at our national industry awards

✅ Challenged the federal government on the recent portrayal of yoga therapists by the Department of Social Services for the NDIS and actively engaged with federal ministers and officials

✅ Supported yoga therapy advisory group in monthly discussions and inner circles

✅ Appointed yoga therapist Ellen Nash to join the Health and Fitness Industry Standards Council, which focuses on enhancing industry standards

✅ Extended the number of yoga education providers to support professional development opportunities

✅ Promoted yoga therapy through various communications to our extended networks, exceeding 100,000

Have you tried all the things that are “MEANT” to work but they simply don’t?

Book are open! I am opening my books to invite some new children and families to join me on the Wild side!

When working with children I utilise my trainings in Yoga Therapy & Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy to co create sessions to support them achieve their goals.

As a somatic trauma centre we believe in sharing with children tools on how to integrate their experiences, feel their emotions, and to gain vital skills in introception to help them have a strong sense of self. Each session is individualised tapping into their unique strengths.

If this is something that is of interest to you, youcould book a session direct on my website or perhabs send me a message and we can organise a time to have a chat.

Sessions are available Monday & Tuesday in Allandale or Wednesday & Thursday in Newcastle West
