FIT Nutrition Fix wellness store
Just opened in Bondi Junction, FIT Nutrition Fix is a unique, interactive
store featuring a smoothie bar, listening station and photo booth. How
very 21st century! The store uses technology-driven solutions that
encourage each guest to take responsibility for their own health. The
FIT Finder is a touch screen computer that guides customers to the best
nutritional supplements for their conditions. Founder Matt Cameron is
“on a mission to help everyday people feel, look and perform better”
through personalised approaches that cater to the individual’s needs.
The store promises to deliver convenience for time-poor city slickers
and smoothies are whipped up in 60 seconds after being ordered.
Here’s the yogic part: FIT’s team of experts not only includes personal
trainers and weight loss experts, but meditation teachers and a
“smoothie guru”. Keep an eye out for more stores opening throughout
the city this year.www.fitnutritionfix.comHumming Puppy comes to Sydney
Unique and stylish Melbourne studio Humming Puppy has launched
their second studio in Redfern, Sydney. The luxe studio promises a

mosey from the studio to your Friday night date. Drawing from
traditional practices, each teacher brings a unique style from various
lineages to create engaging and accessible classes. And the final touch- a shala that resonates with two frequencies and allow your brain

We’ve been to a lot of yoga festivals and have
to say this is a favourite. Held in the shire of
Australia’s unofficial yoga capital, Byron Bay,
this three-day (and night) celebration of yoga
brought together yogis and New Age hippies
from Byron and beyond for an inclusive and
festive extravaganza of yogic goodness.
This event truly is a beautiful and humble
celebration of yoga. The program featured
asana classes with local and international yoga
gurus, discussions on health, wellness and
relationships, workshops educating guests
on sacred sexuality, pranayama and ecstatic
dance, and the celebrations continued late into
the night with music and chanting. We loved
Trance Dancing with Delamay Devi, Pranayama
with Clive Sheridan and Blindfolded Yoga with
Pete Longworth and Julie Smerdon, with lush
sounds provided by local talent Si Mullumby.
But with almost 100 teachers, presenters
and musicians sharing their passions and
expertise over the duration of the event, we
barely scraped the surface with the handful of
sessions we attended. If you love getting ‘yoga
high’, long hugs and even longer eye gazing
with friends (and sometimes strangers), then
this festival is definitely for you! We know we’ll
be back next year. http://www.spiritfestival.com.auFIT Nutrition FixHummy Puppy
