Teachers
Yvonne Haddleton has been practicing yoga for over 25 years and teaching since 1991.She originally studied a strong, technical style which had a focus on body strengthening, but her desire for a deeper practice, accessing the more spiritual aspects of yoga, led her to study Satyananda teacher training (pranayama and meditations). In more recent years however she has developed a passion for Powerflow (Vinyasa). In addition to Yvonne's yoga teaching qualifications, she has also earned a BA in Dance, Certificates in Rebirthing and Reiki
II. Through her extensive learning and journeying through different styles Yvonne has created a unique practice that incorporates strength building, flexibility, focus and awareness, promoting a feeling of well-being, centredness and vitality. Yvonne is always attentive to the needs and energy of each class and responds accordingly. Her teaching style is technical but relaxed, fun and rewarding with love and healing being her foremost intent.

Lucy Fisher has studied with Made Sumantra, a fifth generation Balinese Pranic healer in Ubud in Bali, and has also gained certificates in Advanced Pranic Healing and Pranic PsycoTherapy through the Ashish Institute of Inner Studies under Dr Hazel Wardha in Melbourne. She will be offering individual Pranic healing sessions, which cleanse, rebalance and energize the etheric body. Enhanced by the use of 100% pure organic high frequency essential oils, Lucy uses a combination of Prana, Raindrop Technique and Emotional Release in her healing sessions.
Daku Resort, Fiji
Traditional Bure cottage
Daku Resort is set in seven acres of tropical gardens looking over Savusavu Bay on Fiji’s northern island of Vanua Levu. Behind it rise steep tree-covered hills. Wander up the hillside in the cool of the morning, or hike up the mountain directly behind Daku to watch the sunset. There’s a creek behind the resort too; you can walk up it to a small waterfall and dip your feet into the pools. If you’re quiet, you’ll catch glimpses of birds such as the wattled honey-eater, the Fiji parrot finch, the Polynesian triller and many others. Fiji has 87 species of breeding birds, and another 52 species who visit Fiji. We have counted 32 species on the lands of Daku Resort alone.
The blissfully authentic Fijian Daku Resort in Savusavu, will provide the perfect backdrop for a calming and re-energising retreat. We stay in traditional single and double bure-style cottages with beautiful views over Savusu Bay
The cottages are twinshare with ensuite and covered deck
