Stillpoint Yoga Retreat Progress Report

Our project is to completely transform a farm into a Yoga Retreat Centre with park-land and Bush, creating path ways through the many beautiful native trees and shrubs with places to sit to listen to bird song or just enjoy the country smells and relax in the sun




We have been successful with our Resource Consents - the council is fully supportive of our project to develop our retreat centre.
We are currently preparing our drawings to submit for building consents, once we get past this stage we will be able to start the new build.

This is the Shearing shed that we are converting into our new yoga studio



John measuring up for new concept drawings



The digger arrives and landscaping begins for guest parking






and the car park begins to take shape


Soon we will be starting our walk way through our native bush




Ruby Bay is only 15 minutes away - Our local environs are simply stunning, with the beautiful Able Tasman National Park only 45 minutes drive up the coast.




The Mount Arthur mountain range is our beautiful backdrop.

Progress on our new retreat center is moving along.

Dear john and Lucy,

David Byck here from Malaysia. Everything looks great. You have obviously put a lot of thought into your plan and I am glad to see that it is working out well. Alina is so happy for you also. We look forward to stealing away some time next year to come down and see you both. We’ll keep updated via your blog and hopefully more photo’s.

Take care and peace,

John & Lucy, it's just breathtaking to see what you have both created....it's a mirror to the beauty that lies within you!
I so enjoyed the workshops that I attended of yours in Oxford, England....I have now moved to the USA, however, it's great to see what you have been doing through the miracle of technology!
all the best

The study of Yoga is a continuous and never ending journey. Teaching Yoga requires that you become a perennial Yoga student for life. Whichever method you choose to reach your goal as a Yoga teacher, remember that continuing education is a key component to becoming a competent yoga teacher training course
