The class is part of [ Peace Inside Live], an online platform born during the pandemic that offers daily, live, donation-based Zoom sessions with facilitators from around the world, focusing on mindfulness, meditation and movement.

[ ] "There's always been a barrier to entry in the wellness industry, and we've realized that and want to be part of the solution, not the problem," said cofounder Shira Lazar, who is also founder and CEO of the digital media brand [ What's Trending]. "We realize how important it is to provide these tools to everyone." Since Peace Inside Live started at the end of April, about 4,000 people have attended its virtual classes. Class sizes range from intimate groups of a few students to more than 100 people. When you take a class, you'll likely meet people from all over the world, and will learn from the community that forms as well as from the facilitator. "We have this opportunity with the pandemic to make big change," said cofounder Jordana Reim, a former ad executive and producer who became a yoga teacher and healing trainer. "If we're just waiting for things to be normal again, we're missing the opportunity to question how each of us have been living, and what's perhaps missing.

Daily classes for a donation Lazar and Reim have known each other for about 15 years, across different careers and stages of life. When the pandemic hit, Reim had been hosting wellness retreats in places like Thailand and Mount Everest, which were no longer an option. She decided to try moving those retreat sessions online to see if they could still be beneficial without the in-person connection. Lazar attended one, and the two decided to collaborate on making a daily platform. "The whole idea was to create peace inside, literally and figuratively," Lazar said. You can find live classes on Peace Inside Live every day. Offerings include different types of meditation, breathing, movement, healing through sound, and studying happiness through the ancient Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita. There are also yoga and other workshops. When you take a live class, you can donate directly to the facilitator through Venmo or PayPal. Facilitators often suggest a donation of $5 to $20 per class, and keep 100% of their earnings from their classes. You can also donate to access on-demand monthly classes. The average monthly donation is $15. While this payment model may change in the future, for now, it's been working to build a community, Lazar said. "We want to see what works for people, and we want to be sensitive and aware of people's needs and ability to pay for this," she added. The founders also work with corporations on wellness activities. For every hour they work with a for-profit company on a virtual session, they donate an hour to a nonprofit, like the [ Boys and Girls Clubs of America], [ Miry's List] and [ Thirst Project], bringing mindfulness to those teams that often have many frontline workers.

A former special forces soldier turned fashion designer was filled with pride when he saw Australia's top spy wearing a jacket he created while rescuing academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert from her Iranian jail. Mark Wales was watching the prisoner swap on the news last week when he noticed Nick Warner, the 70-year-old director general of the Australian Secret Intelligence Service, wearing a leather Kill Kapture jacket as he escorted Dr Moore-Gilbert into a van.

Mark Wales (pictured in the field), from the Pilbara region of Western Australia, created the Kill Kapture brand in New York after retiring from a distinguished SAS career Mr Wales (pictured) created his brand after 16 years in the military. Australia's spy boss wore one of his jackets during a prisoner swap Mr Warner's decision to wear the brand, which closely identifies with special operations forces, could be interpreted as a subtle tribute to Australia's dedicated and law-abiding soldiers who have been shocked by war crimes allegations reported last week. Mr Wales, who spent 16 years in the military including six in special ops, told Daily Mail Australia he was 'proud as anything' when he saw Mr Warner wearing his design. 'I replayed the footage because I was looking at the guy leaning forward in the van and I was thinking the seam of the back of that jacket looks like one of mine,' he said. 'And then when he turned I saw the chevrons on the neck and I thought "oh sh***" that's Nick Warner in my jacket. 'I thought ''that's really cool'' and I was proud as anything to see it in the mix overseas.' Mr Wales revealed that Mr Warner's wife had bought her husband the $1,500 jacket for a birthday present.

Australia's special forces have faced scrutiny after a four-year ADF inquiry last week reported evidence of 39 murders of civilians or prisoners by 25 Aussies serving in Afghanistan from 2009 to 2016.

Dr Moore-Gilbert, an Islamic studies lecturer with British and Australian citizenship, was arrested at Tehran Airport in September 2018. She was charged with espionage and jailed for 10 years after a secret trial. The Australian government rejected her conviction and negotiated her release in exchange for three Iranian terrorists who were jailed in Thailand. When Dr Moore-Gilbert was released after surviving 804 days in Iran's worst prisons, she thanked the Australian government for 'working tirelessly' to secure her freedom. Mr Warner, who was Australia's ambassador to Iran from 1994 to 1997, was said to have played a pivotal role in the negotiations, using his diplomatic contacts. The 70-year-old, who will retire in December, caused a stir in 2017 when he famously posed with Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte while copying the strongman's signature move of a raised fist.
