Nourish Yoga asana and philosophy with Carlos Pomeda and Christine du Fresne

Carlos will be teaching a course entitled 'Hatha Yoga and related traditions', drawing on the wisdom of both the Hathapradīpikā and Amrtasiddhi.  His is a practical teaching, arising from a truly 'jaw-dropping' knowledge base, a teaching that is direct, filled with good humour and insight.  He will also bring us into meditations.

Christine will teach asana and pranayama from intentions drawn from the philosophy sessions, and will be infusing her cues with Carlos's teachings. 

Both teachers will be available for Q & A evening sessions.

Our meals will be provided by Ronit from Open Table in Byron Bay, delicious vegetarian feasts with dietary requirements catered for. 

We invite you to a morning open-eyed meditation before breakfast, to experience the lush rainforest surroundings from the heart.

Host and facilitators

Christine Du Fresne

Christine's first yoga teacher training in 1988 was in the Iyengar tradition, where she completed Level 1 training. 

She taught in this tradition for the next ten years.

In 2001 she commenced a four-year apprenticeship in Anusara Yoga, and was honoured with Anusara certification in 2009.

She continues to teach alignment-based Hatha Yoga classes locally, to train teachers and conduct Immersion programs, as well as offering workshops and retreats further afield.

Christine holds a Post-Graduate Diploma in Professional Art Studies from 1986, and continues to work as a painter and sculptor. 

Art and yoga practices are in and of each other: a beautiful, wondrous dance of creativity.

Christine has been teaching yoga for over 35 years, and hopes to continue doing so for years to come.
