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 🙏
