YOGA TV host, Kris McIntyre and nutritionist and author, Michele Chevalley Hedge, will co-host this special weekend yoga, cleanse and nourishing retreat for mums and daughters on 28-30 October at accommodation at Peppers Salt Resort & the Golden Door Spa, Kingscliff.

Sydney Morning Herald travel writer, Lance Richardson, braved a weekend yoga retreat at Peppers Salt Resort & Spa Kingscliff with me – and survived. His story begins …

“The floor is covered with women, legs twisted one way, torsos in the other direction. More than two-dozen heads tilt languorously backwards as Kris McIntyre directs the room to imitate a Hollywood starlet in photographic pose. A few people breathe heavily into the stretch and then, in the next movement, a woman explodes into laughter as her feet slide off the mat, soles slick with sweat.”

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.

Cosmopolitan magazine recently asked me to share some yoga, tips and tricks for digestive problems including constipation and diarrhoea, to bloating, irritable bowel syndrome and sugar cravings.
