I am so excited to have been fortunate enough to attend the inaugural 7-day Surya Tara Bali Yoga Retreat. The combined Iyengar and Yoga Nidra teachings and activities championed by Adelaide Yoga teacher Ruth quietened my mind to enable a deeper awareness of – the common issues that challenge us in daily life, how to re-balance both mind and body, the benefits of increasing compassion for others, the philosophy of ‘acceptance’.
