“Nepal was an AMAZING adventure Lyn. I could have continued trekking for another 6 days! My resting pulse went from the 80’s to 64. Very regenerating. Look forward to seeing your amazing photos.” Liz.

Lord Howe Island
Australia

Islands are special places that capture our imagination in some fascinating way. Perhaps it is the mystical feeling of isolation, untouchable, quiet, that we connect with and discover a part of ourselves, difficult to find on the ‘mainland’.
Lord Howe is world heritage listed and offers the perfect setting for escape, with its: untouched beauty; rare species of birds and fish; flora and fauna; white sand beaches; sheltered lagoon; crystal clear turquoise water; hideaway coves, mountains; wonderful walking tracks and mountains to climb; snorkelling and kayaking.
There are wonderful restaurants, cafes and grocery stores on the island

Tuscany, Ravello and Positano are on the stunning Amalfi Coast. This coastline is amazing and hugs the coastline in Southern Italy for miles. It is indeed one of Italy’s most memorable destinations with an outstanding Mediterranean landscape.
The mountains plunge down into the sea and homes hang on to the side of the cliffs. There is amazing architecture, history, stunning views of turquoise seas.
There are great restaurants and hiking trails. Our tours to Capri, Sorrento, Ravello and the wonderful hike on the Path of the Gods with its stunning views, cliff faces, caves, ancient convent, vineyards and gardens, make for the most memorable holiday

Lyn’s history of yoga and health goes back to the 1960’s when I was a child in New Zealand. I took to it like a duck to water and have never ceased to be involved. I was teaching yoga long before I became ‘qualified’, as was my mother, Marion, who was also a yoga teacher.
