Monday night 5.30pm sound healing ceremony with Harry from Soul Simarana to consecrate the studio space marking the transition .. our ten years holding the space and transition to Susan from Learn-Kinesiology.com . So wonderful she is keeping the space as a yoga studio for hire 🙂🙃. Please join us for the event to celebrate this exciting change. Shared meal after from 7pm. Please bring a small contribution of food. (Vegetarian)

Big moment! Last time painting and oiling the walls in this beautiful studio. The space comes under new management on Nov 1. It will be available as a space for hire so we will commute from Woodgate to teach a few classes per week. The new website for the retreat studio in Woodgate is up.. all perfect timing. 🙂 https://yogaretreatqld.com.au/

The Woodgate Beach studio is now home to the pictures that once hung along the walls of the stairwell as you entered the Hervey Bay studio. And the setubhanda benches and backbender have also found a home in the Woodgate studio. It is lovely to know that classes will continue in Hervey Bay under the new management of the top floor at 54 Torquay Road Pialba. Our website www.herveybayyoga.com.au is regularly updated so to learn more or book into the new 5 week terms with Vera or Polly go there for more info.🙂🙃 https://www.herveybayyoga.com.au/timetable

In these courses we teach a lot about how to get muscles to grip the bones. When bones are well nourished by the blood supply in muscles, the bones build our immunity. Join the course to find out more.

Ready for peace? Maybe not as ready as we like to think.
Who are we when we feel full of purpose, meaning? Who are we when we are deeply calm and peaceful and so clear that people feel immediate ease in our presence? Who are we when our belly laugh bestows infectious joy into our relationships?
We are someone who has learnt acceptance of the human condition. We have understood that being human comes with fear, anxiety, delusion and immense confusion and suffering. We have developed humility in the face of the human condition and we have great compassion for ourselves and others.
The story we have of ourselves has been cultivated and refined; sculptured over a long period of time. It holds the memories of relationships, travels, growing up, changing jobs and the myriad of emotions associated with all of these events. The ego is where know ourselves. It is familiar. And it does not want to die… at least the aspect that is self-serving.
The ‘small’ self “I-ness” masquerades as the master. In meditation it becomes the servant. The mind (the instrument of perception) can locate us in time and space (NOW and HERE) and when it does, there is no longer the small self ‘I’ operating as The Knower, but rather we are in a process of learning. Ultimately the ego accepts that what is to be Known is revealed. (Yoga Sutra 1.41) The ego surrenders the need to control the knowing and the defining of the objects of experience (what is known). It simply serves the instrument of perception: it is available to an experience of revelation.
Yoga changes the one who sees.
One of the klesas “abhinivesa” is translated often as “fear of death”, however we can also say that abhinivesa is as much about fear of enlightenment (fear of a life of purpose and peace) as it is about fear of death.
If you are interested to experience more deeply the connection between yoga on the mat and yoga as a way of life, attend the 7 day retreat at Woodgate Beach 16 – 23 July 2023 with Polly R

Would you like to establish a lifestyle rhythm where practice is central and defined?. This retreat is 6 full days and the 2 half days which can help you achieve this. Sunrise meditation; beach side breakfast; active and restorative sessions daily; lunch and dinner prepared onsite by our private chef. A great opportunity to create space for your Self.

This retreat is held at 80 Acacia Street Woodgate. It is taught by Polly Realf
It is suitable for students with a minimum of 2 years of Iyengar yoga experience.

The retreat commences with a restorative class on Sunday 16 July at 4.30pm. The retreat closes at 12 midday on Sunday 23 July.

The science and philosophy of classical (Raja) yoga, as taught by BKS Iyengar, is embedded within each class. The practice experience becomes richer and deeper and the intrigue of inner peace is felt.. like a magnet that draws us toward authenticity.

Other than breakfast, which is served ocean side after sunrise meditation, all meals are served onsite at the yoga studio (Anam Cara studio) by our private chef. All meals are vegan. Our chef can accommodate specific dietary needs.

Anam Cara studio is close to fabulous holiday accommodation that is within walking distance of the studio. We really encourage you to stay close by as this will support your retreat experience. To assist with accommodation we also rent a holiday house and sublet rooms in this house for between $35 and $60 per night.

Welcome to the Hervey Bay School of Yoga Hervey Bay School of Yoga

Yoga is a “state” of being. When we talk about “practising” in the context of yoga, what is meant is that we are practising to both recognise and remove the impediments to living in a Yogic state. We practice certain disciplines and develop different methods of working in these disciplines to erradicte both the impediments and their causes. We practice to re-cognise finer and finer states of awareness to arrive into a life of peace and purpose.

The Yogic path is a life that is creative and responsive. It is a life of change and opportunity. It is a way of living that is measured by the timeliness and quality of our actions, and our experience of accountability for these actions.

The path is a way of life that is intimate with the ever changing forces of nature. Nature or Prakriti (all that changes) is the servant of Purusa. In our intimacy we learn and start to experience that there is something that is unchanging and eternal (Purusa). Life it seems, is mostly experienced as a journey of uncertainty and insecurity. This situation creates the causes of our unhappiness. Our practice equips us to glimpse the exquisite peace, space, openness and bliss that is the resonant harmony of mind, body, breath, time and space: the eternal present. This then is how we come to live life – within the ever changing situations that trigger our unhappiness we re-member the resonant harmony and we surrender to its expression. We live in accord with it.

You start by just practising a bit at a time.

Yoga Combats Frailty in Older Adults Research shows practicing yoga helps older adults remain active and strong.

"How do you love yourself?
First of all, you breathe in.. MINDFULLY.. and you become aware that you have a body.
'Breathing in,
I know I have a body'
The body is a very important part of yourself. You spend two hours with your computer, you are stressful and you don't know how to stop. And you forget completely that you have a body during these two hours.
You are looking for something in the future, in your work, that's why your body suffers. So, the first act of love is to breathe in and go home to your body."
❤️Thich Nhat Hanh
