Summer is the season of abundance, creative expression, power and strength – and the perfect season to stretch out on a seaside yoga escape to Peppers Salt Resort & Spa from 19-21 November 2010. From $490 per person, the retreat includes 2 nights accommodation, six yoga classes with Kris McIntyre, Golden Door Spa treatment and all meals.

Dumbo feather, pass it on … is a ‘mook’ – half mag, half book. In each quarterly issue, 5 remarkable individuals tell you their stories. Here’s what the current issue looks like, except it’s far more dashing ‘in the flesh’. Inside are interviews with guerilla knitter and founder of Knitta, Please Magda Sayeg; Carmelina Ricciardello from the Sicilian Experience, the talented and playful German photographer, Jan von Holleben; award-winning Kiwi restaurateur and owner of Fleur’s Place, Fleur Sullivan; and my friend, the surfing, ex-Buddhist monk, Christos ‘Dorje’ Walker.

From July 29 – 31, Oxfam Australia and CarriageWorks will present Exchange for Change, a free three-day festival that will give people the chance to exchange clothes and ideas about how to make ethical fashion choices.

This retreat is now fully booked. Our next retreat is on 19-21 November 2010.

YOGA TV DVDs are now available through my Shop. The Anti-Aging/ Staying Young DVD includes over 2.5 hours of yoga with seven classes to address common health issues including blood pressure and circulation, flexibility and hormonal balance, balance and strength.
