Our wonderful team of construction workers have completed the new reception area and our new restaurant bar is…

YOGA IN A NUTSHELL Yoga is an ancient tradition that originated in India long ago. The reason why it has managed to survive until now is because its legacy was kept along with much of the wisdom of the ancient east that initially was passed on by oral tradition until it made it into a written form in what we call today sacred scriptures.

Talalla Surf Camp: A Rookie’s Journey To Stokedness

By Phillip Krynski This is a story all about how my surfing got flipped turned upside down. No, this isn’t a tale about how I became prince of an affluent Los Angeles neighbourhood.

Where Do All Of The Unwell Sri Lankan Street Dogs Go? By Phillip Krynski The pale-blue iron gates fling open and my gaze pans across a sea of puppy dog eyes. The chorus of barking is instantaneous and bellowing. Hundreds of dogs come bounding over to see who the new visitors are.
