Coming Home : A Memoir & Cookbook

"We can all relate to that wonderful feeling we get when coming home after being away - there's nothing quite like it" says Rose.

"I get that feeling whenever I sit on my yoga mat, cross my legs, close my eyes, place my hands on my heart, and connect with my breath - anytime, anywhere. It's like a huge sigh of relief to be home."

This is a personal story about discovering the essence of yoga, becoming a yoga teacher and hosting retreats in Australia and overseas. Rose Hawkins shares her journey from a 1960's country childhood where the kitchen was the main room in the homestead, to the joy of raising and feeding her own family, to becoming a yoga teacher and cooking organic live food for her retreats. It was the constant demands on retreats for her recipes that inspired her to write this book.

ROSE BELIEVES THAT YOGA

AND GOOD FOOD ARE

TWO GREAT CONNECTORS

AND INGREDIENTS FOR A JOYOUS

AND HEALTHY LIFE.

Rose has a way of creating atmospheres. At her home, there is delicious food, beautifully set tables, flower-filled vases. Her yoga classes are wonderfully restorative. But there is something else too. It's as if she infuses everything she touches and all those around her with love and you just want to go back for that love again and again and again.
