Sanctuary retreat at Mission Beach - 22nd August - 28th August 2010

A wonderful opportunity to practice with the balance of tradition and an attention to detail that is characteristic of Amanda’s enthusiastic approach to teaching. With the assistance of Leah, students can expect to be challenged, refreshed and inspired by a week in one of the most pristine places on the planet.

This year’s retreat also includes optional, highly recommended South Indian massage sessions offered by Leah between class times.
