Yoga workshop with Baxter
Sunday Feb 19, 2012 Pobblebonk Retreat, Pt Leo 9.30am-4pm
BALANCE is the subject
We observe, practise and apply what balance is…physically, mentally and beyond. When we come to a state of balance, everything in our lives is expressed by it. Instead of focusing and working on the end result, the end will result from finding the balance in our lives.
It’s a very simple philosophy, and when we learn how it feels and what takes us there, the body thanks us. It’s a perfect symbiotic relationship between body and mind.
We will apply the philosophy to food and how we eat, how we think, and how we stand on one leg (literally). A delicious Ayurvedic lunch will be demonstrated and served by the lovely Lakshmi from Yoga of Food.
$130 includes lunch. For bookings, please contact Baxter on 0423 161 503 b@palateearth.com. $50 deposit required upon booking which is non-refundable but fully transferable. A great prelude to Bali
Yoga workshop with Saraswathi
May 5-6, 2012; Mornington Peninsula 9-4.30pm. Venue TBA.
Saras is a senior Yoga Therapist and true scholar of the Vedas (yogic philosophy). She is out from India for a short visit, and we are very honoured to host her. Saras also joins us in South India on our Ayurvedic and Yoga exploration in August.
The subject of this workshop will be announced soon, but we never really mind what the topic is, we simply enjoy being in the same room and absorbing the eloquent way she simplifies such a beautiful philosophy.
“All those who have studied with her, without exception, have been touched and transformed by her gifts as a yoga teacher and healer.”
“As both a seasoned healer and Yoga educator, she has a knack for effortlessly drawing the best from each person, whether it be a higher state of health, or a greater understanding of that which is being studied.”

Spirit of India- a Yoga/ Ayurvedic journey
August 4-14, 2012
Remember how you feel after a wonderful class of Yoga? After this trip you can times that by a zillion (a humble estimation)
We travel through the south from coast to coast, at a relaxing speed over 14 days, staying at only 4 properties, two of which specialise ayurvedic treatments. All properties serve from their organic gardens.
Saraswathi joins us for the first half of the journey to create a retreat environment with traditional yoga practices and teachings. The second half of the tour Baxter will lead the classes whilst being in the remarkable hands of experienced ayurvedic therapists.
There’s time to relax, absorb the culture and be guided by the expertise of Marieke Brugman who has been leading tours to India for 20 years.
All stages and levels of participants are welcome. The more open the heart and mind, the richer the reward.
