Exciting News! I'm a Guest Speaker at the Yoga for Mental Health Summit 2025!

Hi friends,

I’m absolutely delighted to share that I will be a guest speaker at the Yoga for Mental Health Summit 2025 on Friday, 14 March 2025. This inspiring online event is hosted by Yoga Australia.
I’m honoured to be a Registered Senior Teacher with Yoga Australia. The national peak body for yoga in Australia. Yoga Australia plays a vital role in supporting teachers. Promoting high standards of training, and advocating for yoga as a respected and accessible profession. Their work ensures that yoga is taught with integrity and inclusivity across the country.
As a long-standing member, I’ve benefited from their resources, professional development, and the sense of community they foster among teachers. If you’re a yoga teacher or student considering deepening your path, I wholeheartedly encourage you to explore membership with Yoga Australia. You’ll be joining a community dedicated to raising the profile of yoga and supporting its role in health and wellbeing.

This event is one of the ways they bring our community together to explore meaningful conversations around yoga, health, and well-being.

The Yoga for Mental Health Summit 2025 will gather esteemed professionals, teachers, and therapists to discuss the integration of yoga practices in supporting mental health.

Why Yoga and Mental Health Belong Together

The intersection of yoga and mental health is an emerging field, but it’s one I believe holds profound potential. We are living in a time where stress, burnout, and mental health challenges are more widespread than ever.

Yoga offers more than movement or flexibility. It provides:

• Tools for regulating the nervous system (like breathwork and restorative postures)
• Mindfulness practices that improve focus and reduce rumination
• Community connection, which is so important for those who feel isolated
• A holistic approach to resilience, combining body, mind, and spirit

Over the past decade, research has continued to show that yoga supports conditions like anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress-related disorders. What excites me most is how these practices can be adapted to meet people exactly where they are. Whether that’s in a yoga studio, a workplace, a healthcare setting, or even at home.

Who Should Attend?

This summit is designed for a wide range of people, including:

• Yoga teachers who want to expand their trauma-informed and mental health knowledge
• Yoga therapists working with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, or trauma
• Mental health professionals curious about integrating yoga into therapeutic practice
• Students and practitioners who simply want to understand the healing benefits of yoga more deeply
• Wherever you are on your journey, you’ll find valuable insights and practical applications you can take into your own practice or professional work.

Why This Summit Matters Right Now

Mental health challenges are one of the greatest issues of our time. According to Beyond Blue, one in five Australians will experience a mental health condition in any given year.
As we face rising levels of stress, uncertainty, and social disconnection, it’s never been more important to bring together different disciplines—traditional therapies, yoga, mindfulness, and holistic practices—to support mental health in innovative ways.

The Yoga for Mental Health Summit 2025 is more than just a professional development event. It’s a chance for our community to:

• Share knowledge and expertise
• Celebrate the power of yoga in modern healthcare
• Build bridges between yoga teachers, therapists, and mental health professionals
• Equip ourselves with new tools to support others

Final Thoughts

I believe that yoga has the power to transform mental health—not as a replacement for therapy or medical care, but as a supportive, complementary practice that empowers people to feel more connected, resilient, and at peace. Whether you're a yoga teacher. Yoga therapist, mental health professional. Or someone interested in the therapeutic benefits of yoga. This summit offers valuable insights.

I’d love for you to join us. This is an event that promises to educate, inspire, and remind us all of the healing potential of yoga.
I’m so looking forward to this Summit and the conversations that will unfold.
I’d love to hear your thoughts—does this sound like something you’d attend?

I hope you'll join us for this transformative event.
