Recent one-week retreat at Sanctuary Retreat in Mission Beach
We all had a great week at beautiful Sanctuary Retreat on Mission Beach
in Queesland. It was a luxury to stay in the 'rainy' rain forest; it
didn't stop pouring for nearly a week. How otherwise would we
have been able to observe a multitude of frogs, and such beautiful wildlife.
This also ensured that everyone got to rest plenty, read all the bookes
they wanted to, and spend a lot of time mingling with what turned out
to be a great group of people.
We liked it so much that the booking for next year's retreat is already in place! 6-13 August 2011.

Are your Bandhas working for you? Pelvic Floor and Core Workshop
See how your pelvic floor and core muscles (mūla bandha and uddīyāna bandha) perform on screen. By using real-time ultrasound on the lower abdomen, physiotherapist Joelene Murdoch will show you where your muscles are and how to use them properly.
This workshop can give great insight into how you are using your bandhas and create good body awareness. Engagement of the bandhas is easily overdone; rather than using the correct abdominal muscle groups, we often activate the ones we shouldn't; this leads to the exact opposite effect of what we wish for.

Cost: $75
