A quiet path in a crazy world

‘Although I began with a search for something new, I arrived at the understanding of an ancient thing’

How do you thank Polly and Vera for the gift of yoga? I came to classes a broken SAS veteran, with years of living dangerously, searching for that small measure of peace that we all seek, but rarely find.

With compassion born of long training and life experience these two yogis showed me a path different from my own, but somehow strangely familiar. The journey has bought perspective, quiet space in my mind and above all that ‘small measure of peace’.

I cannot thank Polly and Vera enough except by continuing this journey to honor my two teachers and their ancient lineage. If you are seeking depth in your life or a quiet path in a crazy world I believe you will find it here. Namaste. Pete

Teacher Training

Students who have been working with Polly for a minimum of 3
years, and who have been attending events such as the Sunday Practice Development sessions (events listed on the Woodgate Retreat page) ; and who have an established personal practice can apply to Polly to become a Trainee. Polly is an accredited teacher trainer with Iyengar Yoga Australia.  

Within the Iyengar tradition, trainees must have completed at least 300 hours of Teacher Training and 100 hours of assisting in classes, to be eligible to sit an assessment at Level 1 Teacher Certification. This level of certification allows you to teach as a recognised Iyengar Yoga teacher and make use of the Iyengar Certification Mark.

The Iyengar Yoga Association requires that a candidate for assessment is formally referred by their training teacher.  Referral (by Polly) of a trainee for
assessment is provided once a trainee demonstrates a capacity to teach and practice at the required level. Many trainees take longer than they anticipate to develop the required capacity, whilst others achieve readiness in a shorter period of time. Hence it is critical to note that readiness to be referred for assessment, is not determined by completing hours of training.
“Assessment” is better understood as a ritual rite of passage.  

If you are interested to apply for a teacher traineeship
with Polly, please email via the school to set up a time to meet with Polly.
