Lyn’s journey with Oki-Do yoga began in June 2009. Walking through the door of Zen Central, not being entirely sure what she would find, seeking something that would calm a busy mind and sooth an irritated body. She found something that answered the brief!

“In Oki-Do I found a practice that invites a gentle and compassionate conversation with ourselves, not just in our bodies but with our mind and heart, and a practice that goes beyond the mat within a space, infusing the real stuff of life, enabling a more flexible mind, open heart. Cultivating both strength and softness. I love the way Oki-Do can make me laugh, sigh, shed a tear now and then, allow in me a deeper breath, and an ongoing journey of discovering myself in ever surprising and delightful new ways.”

In early 2014 Lyn completed Peter Master’s 12 month Yoga Life Training, and has since begun to share her practice with others, always enjoying the process of shared enquiry and discovery. Not seeing herself so much as a teacher but as a facilitator, offering space and practice within which we can learn from our best teachers: our own bodies and life.

Along with the teachers that she continues to learn from in Brisbane, Lyn has also had a number of opportunities to study with Japanese teachers Masako Kunino, Saburo and Hisae Ishii and their daughter Moeko, and has attended two, 1 week long residential retreats with Osamu Tatsumura and Mizue Tamaki.

A growing interest in movement and the stories within the body has found Lyn exploring the world of Butoh, Movement Theatre, and Suzuki Actor Training method with John Nobbs and Jacqui Carroll of Oz Frank theatre company. All of which weave into her desire to live life whole heartedley, with a smile!
