Join me on Saturday 14 and Saturday 21 January from 8.30-9.30am for Yoga in the Park to raise funds for the Butterfly Foundation. The class is $10 per person including a free Sportsgirl yoga mat (plus donations to support The Butterfly Foundation’s work in supporting young women with eating and body image disorders).

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.

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. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, summer is when the fire element is most prominent in the body giving us access to our inner strength, power and a calm still mind

Priced from $533* per person twin share, the all-inclusive escape includes accommodation at Peppers Salt Resort & Spa, six yoga classes with me, yoga mat, Golden Door Spa treatment, wholesome meals inspired by The Golden Door cook book and prepared by Roughies Restaurant & Bar, full use of resort leisure facilities and more.

I’ve found some DVD Yoga kits online. The Team Unity Fitness kit include a DVD with two classes – morning and evening (with me) with a focus on good digestion, back strengthening and stress release. There’s also a yoga mat (which folds up into a travel yoga mat), music CD, instructional booklet and strap – all for only $19.95 plus postage and handling. Unfortunately, delivery is to Australia and New Zealand only. Order online at www.oo.com.au
