“Polly is magic.” My friend and I had our very first retreat with Polly guiding us and we kept repeating this statement all week.
Although I came in with an intention of what I wanted to get out of this retreat, this experience brought up a lot more that was unexpected. And as much as I believe that’s the potential for any retreat, it was Polly’s healing magic guiding us through that allowed exactly what needed to come up, come through. Every yoga session, every meditation held so much value, potential and love. And each one was carefully thought out and planned by Polly. She has the ability to read the room and guide us in what she intuitively felt we needed. I came to this retreat with a strong background in Power yoga, thinking we would just be doing a lot of yoga flows, learning some new moves, relaxing and meeting some cool people. But i left this retreat realizing how much more yoga has to offer, how it can open up emotions, help release and let go. How it allows you to sit with yourself and give yourself permission for whatever comes up, holding it with love and feeling stillness in that. Polly taught me that, and her Buddhist background always left us with a story, idea or way of life to meditate on. She is inspiring and I’ve come back home, feeling reconnected with my heart and encouraged to integrate all the teachings she offered us.
Other than Polly being absolute magic, she was also just so relatable, easy to talk to about the hard stuff or to just joke around with. She joined us for every breakfast and dinner and was always one of the last ones to leave the table. She held so much space for us and we all loved getting to know her story and sharing ours. The connections I made at this retreat are unforgettable and will always hold a special spot in my heart.
Thank you Polly!
Polly is one of the rare ones who left a profound impact on me. I felt a deep connection with her from the start and haven’t witnessed a dedication to the practice quite like hers before. She modified the classes in the moment based on the energy of the group which made for a very personal yet communal experience. I left every class of hers feeling that a deep sense of healing had taken place inside of me. Ever since my time with her at Vida Asana, my life has changed in the most beautiful way. The wisdom her soul has to offer goes beyond what words can describe. I hope you get the chance to practice with her.

Meeting Polly and attending her slow flow and mindful meditation yoga class at Vida Asana has been a highlight of my three month stay in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica. Polly invites class participants to challenge body and mind with slow flow asanas and mindful meditations, all while syncing breath to movement. Polly shares her vast knowledge of the mind/body connection in every class. Her voice is soothing, directions and prompts are clear and all ages and levels of competencies are welcome in her classes. Polly provides a comprehensive and holistic yoga experience and I have learned a lot from her and am proud of my personal growth and confidence. I am grateful to Polly for her guidance, teaching skills, and gentle spirit.

Polly is a stream of light and positive energy. I traveled to Costa Rica with a group of women professionals and while the entire experience was incredible, Polly was the highlight of our trip. She gives incredible instruction with perfect cuing to tap into the meditative experience. She is a gentle spirit with wisdom beyond her years. She gives loads of options and curtails each practice to the practitioner in an inclusive and welcoming way. I can’t wait to to find an experience she leads again.
Polly is a fantastic Yoga teacher, by far the best one I have ever had. She has an amazing experience and an impressive knowledge. This also because the time she spent in the south of India, where she learnt the best teachings from the Yogis. Polly has the talent to bring the Yogi practices anywhere around the world.
