  • Gentle Yoga for strength and relaxation.

    Perfect for absolute beginners, students with injuries, students who want to learn the basics and enjoy a class that keeps the postures simple and accessible to everyone.

    Let's start at the very beginning.

    *Would you like to be
    strong, flexible, calm, relaxed, healthy, happy and confident?

    *Are you concerned yoga will be too difficult?

    *Enrol for the gentle yoga and relaxation class. The best place for every person new to yoga to start.

    *The class teaches you how to safely build a strong core, a flexible spine and how to use the breath to relax your body.
    Yoga terminology is introduced as well as Pranayama or breathing exercises.

    *No sitting postures, no kneeling, very gentle back bends.

    STRONG FOUNDATIONS ON WHICH TO BUILD.

    *This is a special class. I have been to many enjoyable and rewarding yoga classes but none start at the very beginning.

    Be ready after 10 weeks to join a regular class with confidence. Or continue in this class. Some of my most experienced students come along to this class regularly. All the postures can be adapted, Some students sit in a chair, everyone can practise.

    *You may begin the class anytime and pay as you go but this class is carefully structured to gradually introduce the important principles of yoga.

  • Morning & Evening Hatha Yoga Classes

    The General Class is suitable for beginners to experienced.

    We practice 50 minutes Traditional Hatha Yoga. Which will increase your health, fitness, strength and flexibility. Followed by 10 minutes relaxation, learning to relax the body and the mind.

    Classes are casual and friendly and students have a wide range of experience

    BEGINNERS
    This class is suitable for beginners and I always demonstrate the gentle variation of each posture first. If you have an injury or are an absolute beginner you may want to start in the gentle yoga class. If you are unsure which class will suit you give me a call.

    STUDENTS WITH EXPERIENCE
    Are guided from the beginners posture into more advanced asana's as they continue to deepen their practice.

  • MIND YOGA

    "Yoga is the golden key which unlocks the door to peace, tranquility and joy"
    B.K.S. IYENGAR
    Yoga is a powerful learning tool to promote physical and mental well being. This class will focus on Yoga for the mind.
    I have spent many years studying and reading and I am including many different and interesting Ayurvedic and Yoga techniques and practices and bringing together all that I have learnt to create an enjoyable, interesting, relaxing and energising class.
    We will be practising and exploring using simple yoga postures that are safe and can be adapted to suit everyone.

    *Explore Pranayama & Meditation, Prana & Chi.

    *Explore essential oils and their effects on your mind. Learn how to make your own special fragrance.

    *Learn about the Chakras and how to use the philosophy behind them to change your life along positive lines.

    *Explore sound and music.

    *Learn Abhyanga - self massage of the face, neck and hands.

    *Learn how to adapt your practise to prevent depression and anxiety.

    Laugh, cry, learn how to love yourself, learn how to forgive.

    This class will begin on Monday 9th October
    7.15 - 8.45 pm
    Places are limited and I am taking bookings now.
    $125 for 5 classes paid in advance.

A lovely and relaxing yoga retreat! Gorgeous location immersed in all the best of nature- the sea, the hills and peaceful quaint town;and all supported by the soothing yoga and meditation sessions. I'd love to come a few times a year. A couple of days felt like 10. The perfect mini-break. Thank you Julie and Dave for your hospitality. I look forward to seeing you next time, Tanya.

October Yoga Retreat Reviews 2016

I had another wonderful time running my Yoga Retreat at Patonga and have 3 more in 2017.
REVIEWS FOR THE OCTOBER YOGA RETREAT 2016

An amazing, healthy and calming birthday present to myself. Don't know where to begin....Julie is a fabulous host and yoga teacher, very calm and friendly. The house is so beautiful, open and airy. I loved the comfy bed upstairs and restful nights sleep listening to the waves. This retreat with luxury accommodation, healthy veggo meals, 3 yoga classes per day along with workshops in a gorgeous coastal town is second to none. Very well priced. I will be back.
Namaste Maria

Thank you for such a nurturing yoga retreat! The accommodation is perfect; everything from the comfy beds, the amazing view to the beautiful energy in the yoga room! The meals were delicious and so lovingly prepared. The practice you offered was wonderful and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to attend. Keeping these retreats running is a very special gift that you share!!!
Thanks again Denise xxx

Thanks Julie for a wonderful retreat. One hour is good for me for a class time and your gentle manner and helpfulness really appreciated. The Patonga House is ideal and we had some good sunrise walks each morning. The whistling kites were a great welcome in the high trees, later we saw their nests.

Dear Julie
Thank you for a great retreat. Good food and company a gentle nurturing approach to yoga that also allows so much space for learning new things. The sesame oil self massage was a great experience and savasana on a bolster was also a revelation. I hope we can come again.
xx Charlotte.
