A place of wellness in the middle of the CBD. A place on top of a roof. A place to escape, reflect or appreciate. A place to rethink your life, your habits, and your health. That is what clinical naturopath Catie Gett has created in A Staple Space. The Staple Store, a local, organic, and...
Do you regularly spend some time on a yoga mat, love going out and experiencing music? Read on as there has been a coming together of these things. It all started with Hip Hop Yoga at Yoga 213 in South Yarra where Sammy Veall brought us down dog to Snoop Dog, direct from LA. And...

Everywhere you look someone is wearing Lululemon leggings...
