Yoga for every body. Build strength, flexibility and balance. We are a specialist yoga studio located in the heart of the Adelaide Hills.
Unfold Yoga + Wellbeing was established in Mount Barker by Loretta Voivodich in 2012. Loretta has been teaching yoga in the Adelaide Hills for over 15 years and built up a firm following of students who have felt the real difference yoga can make to their physical and mental wellbeing. Unfold offers a full weekly program with yoga classes suitable for all students, from the absolute beginner, to t
he progressive, advanced practitioner. Yoga practice cultivates a healthy body and a calmer mind. Attending classes at our studio you will better understand what you are doing when you practice and why we practice. Learn the art, science, and philosophy of yoga with a teacher! With our team of certified Iyengar teachers you can be sure you will receive quality, expertise, and individualised attention. Teachers at Unfold are caring and professional and have many years of practice, study, and dedicated training behind them. Classes explore the sequencing and technique of Asana (posture) and Pranayama (breath work) to integrate strength and flexibility, moderate the breath, and cultivate steadiness of the body, mind, and spirit. We use props to: explore the various aspects of a posture; to give assistance in the case of injuries or other conditions; and for restorative work. We make individual adjustments and corrections to help students understand and develop their yoga practice. Philosophy and approach are integral to classes and the atmosphere and instruction offer a respectful silence, seriousness, and focused energy, as well as the joy of being in the moment, which brings spontaneity, heightened awareness and a humble and honest approach to your practice. The Iyengar teaching method is oriented towards gradual but steady progress, rather than towards quick and fleeting results. Each Iyengar yoga class is a unique sequence created to guide students through a safe and systematic progression. Through skilled instruction and practice, students learn to penetrate beyond the physical body to the inner kosas (layers) of mind, energy, and spirit thereby gaining vitality, clarity, and calm through the practice. Iyengar yoga can be practiced at all stages of life. The benefits are far-reaching and will assist the practitioner in every aspect of daily living. Our studio is a special place that exudes a sense of calm, joyfulness, hard work, and transformation. It is spacious with natural light, good ventilation and elevated views. The yoga studio is carpeted and adequately temperature controlled for both the winter and summer months. All yoga equipment (including mats) is supplied and parking is available on the adjacent streets.

And thats a rap! Our third and final class of our Easter weekend workshop - making our way through our backbends today.
This 3-morning workshop of two hours each day allowed time for a grounding foundation through a long and deep set of standing poses on the first day, venturing through a wide range of standing and seated forward bends on the second day, including a little workshop in kicking up in to full arm balance. One student achieved his first time independent kick up, maintaining the balance for a good time. Two other students were assisted and got up in to hand balance for the first time. The third day we were primed for our back ending session, including consolidating inversions (both active and supported) each day.
Joining a workshop offers a rhythm, daily ritual, enjoyable discipline, and particular rigour. The experience is always transformative with new insight, possibilities, depths and development.
Our next upcoming workshop is with visiting senior Iyengar teacher Lulu Bull from

“Unfold Yoga is such a special place. It allows a sense of community, safety, comfort, relaxation and the ability to let go. This studio is down to earth and just a magical experience. I love coming to yoga here, my instructor Loretta is amazing she really tries to get to know you and your body, understanding what you need for your practice and how you can adjust poses to suit your body and needs. I am super grateful to have this in my community and I highly encourage everyone to give this studio a try for all levels of yoga it is just perfect.”

I have just been for a weekend teacher training with Pixie Lillas and it is where so much learning and development takes place for us as Iyengar teachers.
It’s a weekend of listening, observing, reflecting, with lots of practice, enquiry and investigation, with the opportunity to put forth questions and receive answers in shared discussion groups with our teacher.
Always invigorating, extending, alerting, and direct, are Guruji’s teachings, kept alive with authenticity, generosity and joy, by our senior Iyengar yoga teachers. We are fortunate to have the authenticity of Guruji’s work to come before us for guidance.
Hard to know how to talk of my experience, however, the teachings are conveyed simply, with a practical approach, a direct, clear understanding. Pixie conveys the teachings from the source - uncomplicated, unembellished in every way, with great memory, depth and richness; that comes from our senior teachers’ own, long, sustained practice and connection with lineage.
From these experiences we learn that YOGA is not just the outer, ‘the exercise’, but is so much more. We need to pick up on a journey, a path, within the body, and towards the soul. From these experiences periphery to the core, and from the core to the periphery. Only we can go in to see from within.
This is what makes Yoga SO interesting. Yoga makes us look at ourself.
Challenging, confronting, YES - but rewarding, effectual, transformational.
You say hard? Yes, we get to learn about ourselves by being IN the practice. 🩷🙌🏽🙏🏽🍃💖
