Mon 26th June-Fri 1st July 2016, Byron Bay
It's not only your clients, family and friends who get to go on retreat - now it's your turn!! We've aimed to design this retreat to be a mix of yoga, workshops and discussion, social time, activities and....well....some of it can be up to you.
Spaces are limited strictly to 20, so that we can provide an opportunity for smaller group workshops and discussion. This is not going to be conference-style (no submission or abstracts to be seen here!), but there will be fantastic workshops that are relevant both for your own life, your practice, and your clients. Come prepared to be personally and professionally challenged.
Workshop topics will integrate the following ideas:

Workshop topics will integrate the following ideas:
- Neuroscience and nutrition, food, eating and body image - what do we know that can help us be more effective in practice?
- Body Image - putting together the puzzle and moving from discomfort to comfort (Sarah)
- Weight (that old chestnut) - in BED and BN treatment (Sarah)
- Advanced mindful eating
- Mindful awareness in practice
- "iRest" experiential workshops (Janet)
Our aim is that this gives you an opportunity to combine some work and play......

Check-in and check-out: Arrival time on the first day is between 12pm-2pm at Sangsurya (but you are welcome to arrive in Byron whenever is suitable for you). Please bring your lunch! The group welcome is at 3pm - allowing you time to arrive, get settled into your room, eat, explore and perhaps have a swim.
NOTE: Sangsurya is a very special place but it's not a hotel. There is no reception and when you arrive you will be dropped in the car-park. As we are now experienced with getting everyone orientated we will be in the car park waiting for you between 12 noon and 2 pm. This is the smoothest way we can get everyone all checked in. If you need to check in at an alternative time or you are arriving the day before please let us know!
The retreat ends 11 am on the last day with check-out around midday, however if you need to checkout later due to flights that can be arranged. Check in time for an extra night before the retreat is after 12 noon (time must be confirmed first). Check out for extra night after the retreat is 12 noon.
