Back2Roots Adaptive Yoga Retreat, Sydney, 2019

It was an honour to assist Lara & Brooke on this adaptive Back2Roots yoga retreat on Collaroy Beach at the world-first resort, purpose-built for people living with a spinal cord injury. I worked 1-1 with Thomas, a 64 year old man who had been living with the repercussions from his accident for 7 years. This totally transformative retreat lead to such deep connection, trust-building, empathy and connection, an experience which changed us all.

Yoga is far more an internal journey than it is an external one. Those with impaired physical ability seem to, in fact, have a heightened ability to tap into this internal realm. Every guest at Sargood was a total inspiration to each facilitator who was honoured to work with them and take on the journey side by side.
