25.01.2022 2020 & COVID-19 , unprecedented times for us all. Time to be home with pets, loved ones and family to ensure the health of ourselves and others. So many changes for us all. Centre of Balance Yoga classes have stopped for the foreseeable future, 20hour workshops are on hold. Our 300 hour TCTSY certification will go ahead in September, though opening weekend may look different. Updates will be on www.centreofbalance.com.... For the interim, COB can offer skype/zoom yoga and naturopathy for those in need or interested: http://www.centreofbalance.com/2020--covid-19.html Keep well & keep connected.

13.01.2022 Today is the UN International Day in Support of Victims of Torture. Every year, millions of people are forced to flee their home countries.Today, there are app...roximately 60 million people who have been displaced as a result of persecution, armed conflict, war and gross human rights violations. Many of them have been subjected to torture and other forms of ill-treatment. Torture victims often suffer severe physical and psychological consequences that are exacerbated by the experiences of flight, perilous journeys to safety and forcibly living in a foreign country. They need support to rebuild their lives after torture. In Tasmania the Phoenix Centre, which is operated by Migrant Resource Centre Tasmania, provides support services to people and communities who have experienced torture and other traumatic events in their country of origin or while fleeing those countries. The Centre delivers counselling and a wide range of training and projects which support the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities. To learn more about the Phoenix Centre visit: https://mrctas.org.au/phoenix-centre/ https://irct.org/global-movement/26-june

13.01.2022 Thank you to the Migrant Resource Centre Hobart and the Tasmanian Transcultural Mental Health Network for today hosting a forum on Ways of Working with Chronic Pain in Refugee Populations.

04.01.2022 Worth considering ..

03.01.2022 As our TCTSY annual teacher training is soon to get under way, it is timely to be reminded of why we may be called to this work and the complexities of life situations people find themselves in. Alongside the inability to describe or relay individual circumstances, this article highlights the difficulty in adequately naming a particular type of trauma for what it is. Humbled to be doing this work, and looking forward to meeting our 35 new students next weekend

01.01.2022 Interested in co-creating a healing Mandala on the wall of our Trauma Sensitive Yoga space? This 4 day course with Andy Weber is free and open to anyone who would like to be involved. Details and contact information below
