In her work, Deborah takes you on a journey into happiness, health and harmony. Through the practice of Yoga, Aikido and Meditation you will discover that true happiness is a mind set, health is about how you treat your body and harmony is your soul's journey. Deborah started her business Mindful Living Matters which is about the mind-body-spirit connection you seek. Deborah tells everyone "You are what matters right now!" these are some very powerful words. Deborah shares her experience. I remember practicing yoga back in my very early twenties when it was difficult to find a yoga instructor. Going to classes gave me the physical outlet while also appealing to my spiritual aspect. I always felt relaxed after the class and can remember this real sense of being a part of something wonderful. When I moved to Brisbane at the end of 2000 I was introduced to Aikido, a form of defensive martial arts. Aikido gave me much grounding and showed me a disciplined form of mind, body and spirit connection. While practicing Aikido I was re-introduced to yoga again. I found the two practices blended perfectly, helping me through the difficult process of several unsuccessful rounds of fertility treatment. After 8 years I chose to stop practicing the physical aspects of Aikido and focused on its philosophy while I deepened my yoga practice. In 2010 I completed my yoga teacher training with My Health Yoga. Since then I have taught corporate organisations, community classes, teen’s classes and kids classes. As a registered yoga teacher I am required to attend professional development and from this I have found an interest in delving deeper into the core aspects of yoga for adults and children along with energy work, completing my psychosomatic therapy training. With my Aikido background I find an affinity with the Japanese way of working with Ki (or energy) and have since studied a Diploma of Shiatsu and Oriental Therapies and am also a Reiki practitioner. While studying my Diploma I discovered Yin Yoga and obtained my Level 2 Yin Yoga teacher training with Jennifer Crescenzo in Melbourne. Having recently been through a life awakening period I have realised how powerful yoga, pranayama and the teachings of Aikido can be for keeping you present. I will always consider myself a student on the path to conscious awareness, awakening and opening my heart to all possibility and hopefully being given the opportunity to share what I learn with you.
