news update

For the Melbourne Yoga Expo we are delighted to announce the participation of international Shadow Yoga teachers Natanaga Zhander (Shandor Remete) and Emma Balnaves and for both Sydney and Melbourne we are lucky to have Twee Merrigan on board. Besides that, the cream of the crop of the local talent will also teach classes in the yoga halls.

In Melbourne we are trying something new by including both a Kid’s Yoga class and a Pre-Natal class as well.

In Sydney there will be a seminar stage for the first time this year with seminars being held on Yoga Therapy, Kid’s Yoga, Pre-Natal Yoga and many other interesting topics.

As official charity we have chosen the National Breast Cancer Foundation who will receive part of the proceeds of the ticket sales.

We are proud to announce that some new sponsors and partners have come on board lately.

As major sponsors of our event this year we have Byron Yoga Centre, who are also in partnership with Govinda Valley for Yoga Teacher Training courses. After this year’s Expo a series of Byron Yoga Centre Teacher Training courses will start at Govinda Valley Retreat. Check out the Govinda Valley website or contact us for details.

India Tourism is also a major sponsor and they have some fantastic offers and prizes for those visitors to the Expo who want to visit the holy land of yoga; mystical India.

This year our list of media sponsors has grown with Australian Yoga Life magazine and Find Yoga as our long standing media partners. Joining them The Art of Healing magazine has now come on board and as a special offer they will give you a 20% discount on all subscriptions if you mention you are a Yoga Expo supporter! Nova and Living Now magazines are long term supporters of the Yoga Expo and we are currently in negotiations with them also.

If you like to know about partnership with Yoga Expo, please write an email to sponsor@yogaexpo.com.au or look at our website under ‘sponsorship’. 'Support the ones that support you'.

Ticket sales will go online soon, so you can pre book and receive our pre booking discount and also make sure that you don’t miss out on your ticket.

exhibiting and volunteering

Exhibit space is limited so please respond as soon as possible to secure your opportunity to showcase your company to hundreds of health and well being conscious women and men active in the yoga community. For further information on exhibiting at Yoga Expo visit us at www.yogaexpo.com.au or email us at info@yogaexpo.com.au

“We are also looking for people who would like to render their services at the Expo as free therapist or volunteer. If you are interested in this please follow this link - http://www.yogaexpo.com.au/volunteers.html

“Yoga Expo is not just an event in itself, it is a means of bringing the yoga community closer together and the community in general closer to yoga." - Andre Melis (Director Yoga Expo)

transport from sydney to melbourne for exhibitors

Some exhibitors want to exhibit in Melbourne as well as in Sydney. If you would like to organise your freight from Sydney to Melbourne or vice versa we can suggest two companies you can contact for this.

The cheapest option is Angel Freight, however, your freight would have to be stored in an area where there is a forklift to put it on the truck.

For this please call Nick at Angel Freight on 0422 303 819.

If you require a full service freight forwarding company we recommend Agility Fairs and Events Freight & Logistics.
