ROLLING OUT THE YOGA MAT TO RECOVERY Trauma-sensitive yoga is providing life-changing results for veterans across the country – all without a single downward dog or warrior pose.

Each week at the different Mates4Mates Family Recovery Centres, veterans and family members gather to take part in a yoga class. But this isn’t just any yoga class. The classes have been designed for people who have experienced trauma or injury to help reduce symptoms of mental health issues and improve wellbeing. At Mates4Mates, all current and exserving Australian Defence Force members with service-related physical or psychological injuries, and their families, can access wellbeing programs. Members of all ages and abilities can take part in the therapeutic practice and through simple meditation techniques and stretching, bring a sense of calmness to their mind and body. “We focus on meditation, gentle stretching and the safety of your own body,” Mates4Mates trauma-informed yoga instructor, Jodi Allen, said. “A lot of people come out of the Defence Force with an injury or mental illness and think that they won’t be able to do yoga – but this is done completely on the mat

and uses various forms of relaxation that can be adapted. There is no pressure, no expectation and no judgement. “One important benefit of this type of yoga is learning to use the breath. It’s such a simple tool that we all have within ourselves that we can use to calm our nervous system, reduce muscle tension and lower our blood pressure, and it allows us to feel safe within our own body in times of stress and anxiety.” Jodi first joined Mates4Mates nearly two years ago as a member after she was medically discharged from the Air Force. It wasn’t long before she experienced the benefits of yoga first-hand and started training in meditation and traumainformed yoga. Mates4Mates yoga classes are held at the Brisbane, Townsville and Tasmania Family Recovery Centres each week, and in regional locations from time-to-time. Funds raised from RSL Queensland’s Art Union enables Mates4Mates to continue providing life-changing rehabilitation services - helping more veterans on their road to recovery.

“It’s such a simple tool that we all have within ourselves... and it allows us to feel safe within our own body in times of stress and anxiety.” — Jodi Allen
