Corey Story

My journey has been a long one but rewarding in many ways. 

I discovered the word anxiety in a book in 2004 and realised 'Ooh this is what I experience all the time, all my life?  I thought this was normal? .... I had already been dealing with depression & trauma prior to this and had relieved a lot of it but the anxiety state was something that kept coming back - it was actually my abnormal state of living... rush rush stress stress....The first 30 years of my life were like this, but I constantly pushed myself to find ways to help alleviate what I thought was a natural state of being (for everyone!)

Finding & experimenting with many styles of yoga, stretch therapy, meditation, relaxation & self-hypnosis, I finally arrived at a point where a daily practice of one /or more of these, kept the balance in my life. Since I started practicing iRest, I have been taken deeper into a new level of discovery, playfulness, balance & curiosity.

I have taught in many settings over the years...a combination of yoga, stretch therapy & relaxation, incorporating iRest, to teenagers and adults 'at risk' in drug & alcohol withdrawal units, at the Parkville juvenile detention centre in Melbourne, a half-way home & general yoga classes to the public & corporate sectors.

I feel totally privileged & humbled to work with such a vast array of people from all walks of life. After completing the iRest level 1 teacher-in-training course, life began to resonate at a totally different frequency than before.

My curiosity continues as I standby to complete level 2 & teacher certification and other education along the way.
