Surfing at the Yoga Expo
|
|
|
Surfing and Yoga have been known to go hand in hand and this year we
have 4 exhibitors who specialise in the combination of the two.
At 9.45am in Yoga Hall 3 we have a class geared towards surfers who
practice yoga taken by Maria Kodzoman.

Directions to the Yoga Expo
|
|
|
In the past we have found that people sometimes have difficulty finding
us at Wharf 8, so this year we wanted to make it as easy as possible
for you to get there.
You cannot enter Wharf 8 from Darling Harbour, instead you enter from
the north end of Sussex St, opposite Moreton Hotel. There will be
limited free parking - so come early.
For more information, directions and a map of the area, please visit
our website or click here.

you to pass it on to your database or group of friends so we can share
the love of yoga as widely as possible, making it an even bigger
day.
You can send this newsletter on as is or use our link to spread the
word. http://govindavalley.com.au/issue_8.html
