Harmonize your Mind, Body and Soul with Susan Deakin August 29 – September 4, 2023
per person
Susan Deakin invites you on her Unity Yoga Journey to Harmonize Mind, Body, and Soul, Fiji Retreat 2023. Step away from your busy normal life and discover an unparalleled health and wellness yoga retreat where the food, services, activities, and facilities combine for you to experience one of the best ultimate healthy vacations. Both healing and holistic – your ideal Island Escapes awaits.
Susan’s journey to her current practice is based on sharing her deep feeling of contentment, and her commitment to her belief that “Love is the Secret Ingredient”. Most days she can be found at home in her studio space in Mackay either teaching yoga, treating clients to beautiful Ayurvedic treatments and dreaming up a lifestyle where she endeavours to help more clients find what she has found.
Susan is most known for owning and teaching Yoga at 8 Limb Yoga Studio which she opened in 2013 until Covid forced all businesses to close. She began teaching Yoga online the very next day and was also able to complete her studies in Ayurvedic medicine.
She changed the business name to Unity Yoga and Ayurveda as she now combines both sciences in her teaching.

Meet Susan.
Susan is based in Mackay, Queensland, Meet her in her own words:
People often refer to me as Sue but I’d much prefer Susan. It’s softer and it’s the name I was born with. Sue originated when I was in a finance business with my Ex Husband many years ago and it just doesn’t feel right for me any longer.
I love serving the world by manifesting more Love in the world through my teachings. The things I am most passionate about in my life is being able to except life as it is, except people as they are, be the best version of myself and help others who want to be helped.
I coach and inspire woman who are struggling with their menopause and share my knowledge of Yoga and Ayurveda which helped me move through my own menopause years naturally and I now feel happier and healthier than I have ever felt in my whole life.
I am lucky to give woman the gift of Yoga and Ayurveda. To learn to trust your own intuition as nobody knows you better than you know yourself. As a Yoga Business Unity Yoga Ayurveda is recognized as one of the Top 3 Studios in Mackay rated by ThreeBestRated.
