Help me create a mentally healthier world- 'Namaste connected!'
I'm standing up to join Team Black Dog to turn ground breaking research into life saving action.
Mental illness affects 1 in 5 Australians every year, with the most common being depression and anxiety. Mental illness doesn’t discriminate. It affects people from all walks of life — individuals, families, workplaces and communities.
I am a critical care (emergency) nurse and a qualified yoga teacher. Having worked across a couple of large metropolitan hospitals in Melbourne during this pandemic, and seeing the effects COVID-19 has had on so many individuals' mental health has motivated me to give back! Please see below a few 'Yoga for Friends' videos I have created accessible online free! The practice of yoga helps to create connection and awareness and relieve stress and anxiety. If you are willing and able, please donate today....every little bit counts! I hope you get something out of at least one of the short videos and enjoy! Namaste connected! 🙏

We need this more today than ever! The black dog institute is about "surrounding ourselves with people who have a passion for making a change in the mental health space." This is what Kate is doing for us here! Thank you Kate and thank you Black Dog institute for making mental health NOT a taboo topic but something we should embrace, celebrate and collaborate with others.
😘
