With Karli Dettman
Yoga & Interpreters - Open the interpreters’
Gates
This class is yoga like you’ve never seen
it before! Led by a qualified Deaf teacher, this class is aimed
at the specific health needs of Auslan interpreters. Prone to
injury from repetitive use of arm and wrist movements, interpreters
can benefit greatly from what yoga has to offer. This class
will demonstrate joint rotations, stretches and warm ups, proper
spinal posture, as well as breathing and relaxation techniques.
Overall, Yoga is an empowering way to feel
more sattvic (balanced) in body, mind and spirit. Come along
and put some time into looking after yourself during ANC. No
special clothes necessary!
Bio ‐ Karli Dettman, Deaf certified hatha
yoga teacher and counsellor, provides wellness services in Auslan
(Australian Sign Language). She has an Advanced Diploma in Yogic
Teaching and is a member of the Yoga Teachers Association of
Australia (YTAA). Karli also has degree in both psychology and
counselling. She finds that practising yoga regularly helps
still her mind,
reduces physical pain and enhances her spiritual health.
