Woodgate Beach Yoga

There are no words for how beautiful and welcoming this space is. I attended a weekend yoga retreat, travelling from Brisbane and the complete experience was amazing. From the yoga studio you can see beautiful bush land/trees, landscaping and feel the air breeze. I felt so grateful and supported being led through the practice by such an experienced, wise and caring practitioner (Polly). All the high quality equipment and props you need are catered for. The cherry on top was being near the beautiful ocean, and being able to swim and read by the water in the spare time. I came back to Brisbane... floating on a cloud. Already planning my next visit! Thankyou for creating this piece of paradise for the mind, body and soul. An experience I’ll keep in my heart.

Having just completed a weeks yoga retreat at Anam Cara Studio, I can honestly say it was a perfect environment to connect body and mind.Surrounded in beautiful nature and gardens, the studio is well equipped to explore and support any bodies yoga practice. With Polly's wealth of experience and passion , I felt well nourished to immerse myself within the postures.

Best Yoga practice ever.

I attended a week long retreat at Anam Cara Studio in March this year. The studio itself is a beautiful calm space set up with all the props, wall ropes, trestles and equipment one might find useful in an Iyengar yoga practice.The format of the retreat was thoughtfully developed to synch with the natural cycle of the day. Waking with the sun and winding down as the light from the sum faded.The daily sessions took us through a physical practice experience that led to a deeper experience and understanding of the asanas and our own bodies in the asana. Polly has a special ability to work with students in the physical practice while integrating her insights on the philosophical aspects of a yoga practice that comes with a strong heart connection, sense of care and an invitation for reflection.The food was equally well considered to support our practice and delicious! And it was so nice to have a daily ocean swim along with daily yoga sessions and meditation time.Polly and Vera made it very easy for me to come up from Canberra - helping with advice on flights, lifts to and from the retreat, and accommodation. I highly recommend the retreat and it was worth the trip from Canberra. Particularly with the easy connecting and flight through to Hervey Bay and the warmer weather!
