Located on the shores of beautiful Port Stephens just over 2 hours drive from Sydney and 40 minutes from Newcastle, Peppers Anchorage is the perfect place to relax and unwind for a weekend yoga retreat. Ryoho yoga, meditation, food talks, beach and bush walks are all part of the 2012 autumn and Winter-into-Spring weekends.

Designed especially to suit beginners and intermediate levels of experience, my weekend yoga retreats at Peppers Salt Resort & Spa with The Golden Door Spa at Salt Village in Northern New South Wales, vary to suit the changing needs of the seasons according to Ryoho Yoga Therapy. Luxury accommodation, pampering and relaxation, yoga, meditation and healthy food is all part of the offering.

Body+Soul (Sunday Telegraph) has rated it one of the best outdoor yoga classes in NSW. Yoga in the Park in Rushcutters Bay, Sydney is just like YOGA TV, but outdoors (oh and unfortunately, there’s no Nils or Barbs!) Join me for morning yoga in beautiful Rushcutters Bay Park on Saturday mornings. I teach Japanese/ Ryoho Yoga Therapy which combines traditional Indian Hatha Yoga with the meridian-based healing arts and Five Element Theory of China and Japan. Classes are open to beginners.

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.
