Weekly Timetable

If you are new to the studio, please contact us to discuss which class is best to attend and to ensure that we have places available in your preferred class time. We have a beautiful studio that easily allows for 10 mats and can on occasion fit another student. Also, please arrive 10 minutes before your first class to meet your teacher to discuss any concerns you might have about beginning yoga.

CHECK BESIDE THE CLASS TIMES FOR SPECIAL NOTICES as our retreat program may interrupt the weekly program.

November will bring some changes to our weekly timetable. We will introduce 2 community classes on Mondays. These are free. Community classes are a long standing tradition for Iyengar Yoga studios and we are happy we can finally offer them. One class will be at 9.30am, with Vera, and the evening session will be at 5.30pm with Polly. Classes will be 1 hour. We will move the current Tuesday program to Wednesday with Vera teaching the morning session and Polly the evening. Friday and Sunday will remain unchanged.

Our Teachers

Polly

“I have been devoted to teaching for more than 20 years and I continue to be excited for students. People who practice yoga literally feel more alive. They build physical energy and become more creative and happier. Yoga sparks something inside of people. It wakes them up and shows them a deeper and more exciting part of themselves.” Polly has over 30 years of personal practice experience and first qualified with the International Yoga teachers Association in 2001. She later focused her training in the Iyengar method of practice and holds a senior level 3 teaching certificate with Iyengar Yoga Australia.

Vera

“Yoga works through the physical body. In the Iyengar Yoga tradition, the practice invites the mind to pay attention and become quiet. When the mind is quiet the body can respond rather than react. This is the key to a nourishing practice. It is also the key to aging with confidence and living a life of purpose and peace. Every action, every moment of life has meaning. This is what inspires me to teach.” Vera is a long-term practitioner of Yoga and began teaching when she retired from Community Health nursing in 2013. Vera qualified with the International Yoga Teachers Association in 2014 and achieved Level 1 certification with Iyengar Yoga Australia in 2019.

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.
