Our wonderful Camellia out in Polpier and Penpol gardens

But how many people actually keep any of the small, let
alone the big resolutions? One lady who did is 30-year-old
Jennifer Austin. Three years ago she gave up her secure
London job in publishing sales to travel the world, train as
a yoga teacher and then establish Shine Yoga in Cornwall.
And this year she is again keeping another new resolution
by holding her first Yoga and Super Food Cookery retreats
at Polpier in January and February.
J ennifer’s dream grew
after discovering
the up-lifting effects
of dynamic daily yoga practice
at the Jivamukti yoga studio
in London. To learn more she
travelled to the birthplace
of yoga-Rishikesh, a holy
city on the banks of the river
Ganges’ in India. Here she
studied Hatha Yoga and did her
teacher training at Rishikesh
Yog Peeth. She continued
teaching and practicing as she
travelled through Sri Lanka, the
Caribbean, Thailand and Nepal.
But when it came creating a
base from which to spread the
message about the benefits of
yoga, there was just one place
to be: Cornwall.
“I love the sea, surfing and
nature, so Cornwall is perfect.
It combines everything that is
best in life, including friendly
people,” says Jennifer who

everything that is
best in life, including
friendly people...”
first visited the county as a
child on a family holiday and
as an adult came down for
weekends of surfing and
camping. “I wasn’t running
away from a life that I hated
– I was born in London and
I still like London – I was just
driven to share the practice
of yoga and believe Cornwall
is a great environment to do
it in. I want to help people to
do something that makes
them feel really good about
themselves. It helps them
physically to become stronger,
more flexible and energised
and mentally to relax and
de-stress, allowing inner
tranquillity.”
As well as Hatha and
Vinyasa Flow yoga lessons,
Jennifer introduced Stand
Up Paddleboard Yoga, which
can be practiced in the
sea, lakes or even Polpier’s
swimming pool. “Doing yoga
on a paddleboard is a
challenge but it really
strengthens the core muscles
and encourages people to
focus on the moment. It is also
great fun – everyone does
eventually fall in the water!”
Laughs Jennifer.
Shine yogaA New Year means New Year resolutions. Every year we make them, from giving up sugar in our coffee to planning a completely different life.

Kneehigh are an internationally acclaimed touring theatre company based in Cornwall. They rehearse in barns in Gorran Haven, close to Polpier on the South coast. As a charity, their work is funded by Arts Council England as well as trusts, foundations, and private donors, including Polpier.
Last summer Kneehigh performed at The Lost Gardens
of Heligan near Mevagissey for a month, in their beautiful,
transportable tent, The Asylum. They return to The Lost
Gardens this summer with a brand new show for families,
'946', based on the Michael Morpurgo book, 'Adolphus Tips'.
lots of rewards for proper behaviour if you want a
well-trained dog. Dalmatians are said to not forget
mistreatment or harsh behaviour.
Another consideration should be the incidence of
deafness in the breed. This condition is prevalent in
Dalmatians. It is inherited as a polygenic trait, and all
Dalmatian bloodlines can pass along deafness to their
offspring. Approximately eight percent of Dalmatians
are born completely deaf, and 22 to 24 percent are
born with hearing in one ear only.
Dalmatians have a urinary system unique in the dog
world, and they have a few special requirements
because of this to prevent medical complications.
Their diet should never be extremely high in protein,
and they must be allowed access to plenty of fresh
water at all times.

Polpier provides ample storage for shooting equipment, with gun cabinets that can house up to 18 guns and we also welcome dogs. Where could be better to relax and unwind by the fire, enjoying a hearty home cooked meal and sipping on your favourite tipple after a long day of shooting?
Shooting Parties at PolpierA fly on the wall if you like. Some also call this style of
wedding photography, wedding photojournalism. Ross
is also a very accomplished portrait photographer and
thinks it is very important to set aside a short time to take
some beautiful portraits in a picturesque location, whilst
also making sure to capture all the details of your day.
oss takes a fresh,
modern approach
to the financial
side of wedding photography,
“I keep things as simple as
possible, I charge one fee for
the day’s photography, and
that’s it, there are no hidden
costs. You keep 100% of the
photos, they are yours to do
with as you wish. Every single
photo is individually edited and
enhanced, although any effects
are subtle, it is very important to
me that the images stand the
test of time and look as fresh in
forty or more years as they did
when first viewed.”

Ross is a very proud member
of the ‘Artistic Guild of the
Wedding Photojournalist
Association’, a prestigious
organisation, “comprised
of outstanding wedding
photographers, who are at
the forefront of the wedding
photography industry when
it comes to enhancing
images. The chief objective
of the AG|WPJA is to provide
members with a platform
where the finest enhanced,
manipulated and/or artistic
wedding photojournalism in
the world is spotlighted and
promoted for the bride and
groom.”

With the festive season now behind us, a fantastic
way is to work off those extra mince pies than by
exploring an iconic Cornish garden such as the Lost
Gardens of Heligan, just a hearty walk from Polpier.
The majority of visitors wait for the temperatures to
rise before visiting, so the garden can feel like it is
your own and is just for you. The Gardens are a great
place to take dogs as they are more than welcome on
leads.
Alternatively, take a trip to the beautiful Eden Project,
dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World by some.
The Eden Project is a dramatic global garden housed
in tropical biomes and is not to be missed. Visit the
wonderful winter ice rink, the bee friendly exhibit or
the rainforest photography exhibition, as well as so
much more. Inside its wonderful domes, you can
experience the tranquillity of exotic rainforests even
if it is freezing outside.
ho could ask for more from
their engagement party,
than to wake up in beautiful
South Cornwall, surrounded by all their
loved ones and partying on into the night
with cocktails, delicious food and fun in the
Polpier disco? For anything and everything
romantic ( and Valentine’s Day is the only
way...) Polpier is the place to be.
