Our retreat:
Be enriched by our daily practices of alignment-based hatha yoga, breathwork, meditation and yogic studies.
The beautiful Gymea Eco Retreat and Spa sits within a secluded rainforest at the base of Wollumbin (MtWarning) , a World Heritage national park in the Northern rivers region of NSW.
Christine du Fresne will be teaching alignment-based asana, pranayama and restorative practices.
Carlos Pomeda, a former Swami and respected scholar with over 50 years of dedicated practice, brings a depth of understanding rarely found in today’s yoga world. His teachings are a blend of humility, humour, and unmatched knowledge that will open doors into a deeper understanding of yoga.
His gift for making ancient teachings accessible and relevant can shift our perspective and elevate both our yoga practice and the way in which we live.
This isn’t just theory—it’s an opportunity to engage with a teacher who offers profound insights into the world of yoga, and life itself through the ancient wisdom of tantra, celebrating the fullness of life.
