Life threatening illness

I first attended Polly’s restorative yoga classes before having life threatening lung surgery…the classes helped me prepare…

One month later I was back for assistance with my recovery. Polly’s expertise assisted me with chest expansion postures and postures which increasing blood flow to the injured areas of my chest and my general fitness. My three month check-up gave me some surprising results – my lung capacity was greater than before surgery.  I consider a significant portion of my excellent recovery was due to these Yoga sessions – Polly’s excellent expertise and knowledge of physiology and the body – an ancient craft.  Woodgate is very lucky to have such expertise among us.

Now fully recovered I attend the Centre 3 times a week.  Not only to keep my “lung fitness” at its optimum but to include the Centre’s  knowledge as part of my spiritual practice.  

I urge anyone who:

     

      • Is injured or recovering from illness;

      • Wants to relax or wants relief for a busy mind;

      • Has an interest in spiritual philosophy;

    to attend the a class at the Centre. They provide a whole of body approach to balancing the spirit, body and mind.

    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.
