[I don’t always wear leggings] Today, I couldn’t be prouder to be Australian, to be recognised as a leader in our community on this special day that marks Australia Day, has been a day I will treasure forever. The recognition I received amongst others, was in honour of my work offering Yoga to our community members. To be able to share the teachings of Iyengar Yoga so the community can experience greater health both physically and mentally, and together build peaceful networks to live a harmonious life has been my life’s mission. My humble appreciation to my wonderful community Council of Stirling and Mayor Mark Irwin for your nomination to ‘Citizen of the Year for 2022’, I am deeply encouraged by your recognition and determined to continue to build new ways to offer and integrate yoga and meditation and together build a community based on peace. My heartfelt gratitude to the yoga master BKS Iyengar, my teachers and my students as I would have never thought my yoga path would bring me here today. And last but not least to my family for being my number one supporters and allowing me to be of service to humanity. I never needed this recognition to continue to do what I do, but I do appreciate it. Let’s all continue to build bridges of hope and peace in our respective communities and work towards a brilliant future together.

On this day I humbly acknowledge the Wadjak People of the Nyoongar Nation as the traditional custodians of this land, and pay respect to past and present Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Elders for the future of this land.
