• Sat 15 & Sun 16 Nov, 2008 - Open to All Levels

Join us for two days of deep back therapy and gravity-free relaxation.

A full weekend of fun play and restorative healing, Vinyasa Yoga, therapeutic AcroYoga partner work, combined with Thai massage & healing circles. Join the Tribal Circle that awaits us all, amidst some of the most spectacular natural beauty in the world – a playground of heaven on earth, under the Full Moon, at The Yoga Barn in Ubud.

Richard Baimbridge began practicing yoga at Jiva Mukti Yoga Center and Bhava Yoga in New York City, studying with highly respected vinyasa teachers like David Life. On a visit to China in 1999, he discovered Chen-style tai qi. His interest in martial arts grew quickly, taking him to a Shaolin monastery, high in the mountains of Yunnan, where he spent a year as a monk, undergoing intense training in wushu and Buddhism. A world-traveler and renowned journalist, Richard often writes about yoga, martial arts, and travel for magazines in China, Europe and the USA. His interest in martial arts, particularly tai qi, has influenced his yoga tremendously, as have the teachings of other martial artists/yogis such as Duncan Wong and Matthew Cohen. Richard’s classes are equal parts humor, energy, and spirituality, inspired by the wisdom he gained in the temples of China and India. Li Cha De teaches in both Mandarin and English, and his main yogic influences are Pattabhi Jois, BKS Iyengar, David Life, Duncan Wong, and Bikram.

Take a bow Sarah, Alan and Kathryn. Your wisdom, insight, humour and compassion made this a brilliant 'creativity week'. I've done writing courses before - but never with this amount of heart. I also loved Alan and Sarah's personal stories of their writing journeys. And Kathryn's good vibes should be bottled and sold to anyone who wants to still their mind by moving their body! Thank you. Theresa Miller.

The most supportive workshop I have ever attended. Spacious, structured sessions which supported my writing to emerge...Impeccable facilitation and superb synergy between Sarah, Alan and Kathryn made this as close to perfect as an experience could be. Mischa Telford.

Franck and Ryan will allow you to enter that sacred place of Knowing, so you can hear the powerful sound of the Song that resonates in your heart. At last, you will remember the roots of your Existence, the source of your Passions and that, which ignites your Fires.
