Have you ever been in a study group with Carlos Pomeda?

It has been the stand-out learning experience for me, particularly as I can ask him questions and clarify the subject matter as we go through it.

And it's fun!! The groups we get are committed and open to learning, and Carlos keeps things light but very focused.

Each session is video-recorded, and this is the other thing I love - I can go back over the discussions as many times as I want to make sure I understand the content.

This time, we're studying the Spanda Kārikās (The Pulsation of Life ) by 9thC Kallata, a disciple of Vasugupta.

This text and our discussion explore the very foundation of life and the universe, unveiling powerful insights and a variety of transformative practices that have the potential to radically transform and enrich our lives.

Would you like to join us? If so, email me, Christine, cduf47@gmail.com

I will give you registration details and add you to the mailing list.

Thanks to good friend Craig, my website is back up, and you can have a good look at all the details for my September retreat in beautiful Port Stephens, NSW.

We are now two-thirds full, so take advantage of the extended Super Early Bird investment - now until April 30, to make up for an invisible website.

When we retreat, we not only relax and rejuvenate, we learn more about ourselves and how we live out this life we've been given.

I'll be teaching asana, meditation and pranayama, together with some gems from the teachings of non-dual Ta**ra.

And Steph and Alex from Sound and Spirit, Newcastle, will take us into a deeply immersive sound bath on the Saturday evening.

Have a look: https://unityyoga.com.au/events/

I hope you can join us - our gorgeous venue is so close to Sydney and the Central Coast.

Yes, my website is sick, and I can’t share details of my September retreat in Port Stephens until it gets fixed.
Hopefully, that will be after this weekend.

So stay tuned, I’m extending the super early bird investment until the end of April to make up for this technical hiccup.

And if you’d really like to know the details now, give me a call at 0408154008 or email me at cduf47@gmail.com.

I’d love to hear from you.

Just two weeks left for the Super Early Bird registration for my September 11-13 yoga retreat.

In this retreat I'll be leading you through an exploration of the lines of myofascia, as defined by Thomas Myers of "Anatomy Trains" fame.

Supported, as always, by accessible intentions to help us remember our deepest presence as we practice.

A Spring retreat is a beautiful vehicle to carry us out of winters stillness into a dynamic expression of life, as life literally unfolds around us.

Join us for asana, meditation, pranayama, sound bath, and non-dual philosophy.

Cozy cottages and spectacular coastal walks to watch the whales pass by on their annual migration.

As I’ve been posting recently about my upcoming September yoga retreat, I thought I should introduce myself, for those of you who only know me as ‘Unity Yoga’.

My name is Christine du Fresne, and I’ve been practising hatha yoga for about 40 years and teaching for over 35 years. And I’ve been studying yoga philosophy with my teacher, Carlos Pomeda for about 16 years.

So, an experienced teacher, and an ‘older’ teacher now at 78. But being ‘older’ doesn’t diminish teaching and practicing; actually I think it enhances both. I’m much more relaxed and open than I was 40 years ago, and acceptance has become more of a way of life than a challenging practice. I still do handstands.

So who did I train with? What’s my ‘style’?

I began in the Iyengar tradition and completed a Level 1 training with a senior Iyengar teacher in Sydney, although I didn’t move on to certification. Instead, I taught around various studios for some years before taking off to travel the world for two years, teaching a bit here and there as I went.

When I returned I trained with another teacher who had just been introduced to the Anusara method of yoga practice - a practice founded in both alignment-based asana and non-dual philosophy. It struck the right note with me, and I completed a 4-year apprenticeship with him, becoming a certified Anusara teacher in 2009.

I had two studios in Sydney, then moved up to Bulahdelah in 2014 to a house my daughter and I built. I still live here in this beautiful straw bale house, teaching a Friday morning class in Bulahdelah, hosting Carlos for study groups and running a retreat each year.

And that’s enough.

I love the retreats.
This year it’s closer to home, close to Sydney and close to an airport for those from a disance.

So come and join us in Port Stephens; practice with us, relax with us and enjoy the beaches on our free afternoon.
You’ll meet some wonderful people.

You can see all the retreat details on my Events page via the link in my bio.

Remember winter? Tucked inside, short days, perhaps a little longing to spread your wings again, move more, drop the winter diet?

A spring yoga retreat is the perfect antidote to winter's contractions, to get outdoors again and regain those light and expansive feelings.

So here's your chance.

The Oasis Centre at One Mile Beach, Port Stephens, is our venue for our September 11 - 13 retreat, with 5 acres of gardens, cozy cottages and nearby beaches to walk and watch the whales go by on their annual migration.

I will be teaching this retreat - alignment-based asana, with introductions to aspects of non-dual ta**ra, meditation and pranayama.
Steph and Alex Yates of Sound and Spirit from Newcastle will be offering a special sound bath on the Saturday night, and Tracy from Feast Catering in Newcastle will provide us with delicious vegetarian food.

It's proving popular, so take advantage of my Super Early Bird pricing and book your spot.

It gives me great pleasure to offer a yoga retreat in Port Stephens in September this year. Close to Newcastle and its airport, and two and a half hours drive from Sydney.

The dates are 11- 13 September, in the school holidays, and the venue is called the Oasis at One Mile Beach. https://www.theoasisonemile.com.au/

I will be teaching this retreat - alignment-based asana, with introductions to aspects of non-dual ta**ra, meditation and pranayama - and I have booked a sound bath for the Saturday night with Steph and Alex Yates of Sound and Spirit from Newcastle.

I have booked Tracy from Feast Catering in Newcastle to provide us with delicious vegetarian food.

The cottages have a downstairs private room with king bed, and a spacious loft with king bed and single beds. Partners are welcome to come and stay, even if they choose not to participate in the yoga, as there is a wealth of interesting activities in the Port Stephens area to keep them busy, and lovely beaches to walk and whale watch. Or they might choose to simply relax and enjoy the 5 acres of gardens and shady Melaleucas.

Our timetable also gives us three hours on the Saturday afternoon to do whatever we wish.

I am offering a Super Early Bird price for February and March, finishing on March 31. I already have some bookings so if you're interested, jump in as soon as you can. There are only 9 cabins in total and one is already taken.
I will accept payment plans, which we can discuss.

Have a look at all the details on my website: https://unityyoga.com.au/events/

I do hope you can come. I'm really looking forward to a spring retreat.

Well it looks like I’m back to the Bathers series - for the time being anyway.

A potential sale is very good encouragement!!

The up side is that it gets me back into looking at figures and drawing
Looking at figures and teaching yoga is also good preparation!

And when i get the clay I’ve ordered and have finished this little series, it’s back to some relief work with figures.

Then i have to find somewhere to fire them……
