YOGABEAUTIFUL NEWS from THE STUDIO, WOODEND.
THE YOGA CLASSES:
We are expanding our classes under the wing of The Uniting Church. Hopefully in the near future to small nearby towns with Woodend as the hub (one town at a time of course). This is a wonderful validation of our work thus far.
If you came to yoga once, and are hesitating to come back, don’t sit at home. We miss you. Yes you are going to feel your muscles. If you had been gardening you would congratulate yourself, However if you feel your muscles from yoga you get worried when there is no need. Your muscles are loving it, and I am here to encourage you to take the next step. Otherwise you might as well just watch a DVD. It is not the same. The yoga girls are changing and growing stronger – and it could be you.
REMEMBER it is the sale of my art which makes these classes possible. Buying a folder of prints will support the Foundation. The will be on sale from the 25th of November – launched at the private showing at my studio.
THE STUDIO
Studio classes are building. Welcome back to those wonderful yogis who have been coming for so long. It is this commitment that makes the difference as you get older. Yoga is the way to age gracefully, and stave off the usual degenerative conditions that plague some folk in their senior years. the couch is not your friend as comfortable as it may be. Come visit us – I have given more restorative, classes so you can hunt and peck for a class time that will suit you.
A KOMBUCHA CLASS.
I have a dedicated group of students who have what they call “animal farm” in their kitchen. Their scobies are thriving, and their Kombucha is as bubbly as”bubbly. Mine is too. You can make it easily – and save your family approximately $10 per wine bottle of Kombucha. It hardly takes any time at all to make even for those people who don’t think they have time. My microwave boils the water and dissolves the sugar, and apart from decanting the brew, this is about as hard as it gets! My last batch was quite strong, and over that few warm days I added mineral water and it was fantastic. One time I even added Rose’s Limejuice. Even better. I am going to do that again.
If you are interested in starting an kombucha “farm” complete with scobie, just ask.
ART HEALS www.jahnehopewilliams.com (new website)
I am totally involved in the progress I am making, and loving the thought that it is making yoga possible for so many people.. I started my miniatures with a 20cent size, then I went to 3 inches, but that was too big, and now I am back to about a 50cent size in 3 collections of 5 images each. MINI MASTERS, BUDDHIST and SPIRITUAL. I will have prints made of them, and sell them to you in a folder, ready to frame. Just keep an eye on the NEW web site www.jahnehopewilliams.net for their progress.

ONGOING ART CLASS ON TUESDAYS from7pm- 9pm
COST $250 for 5 classes – or $50 per session
All materials will be provided.
By the end of the 5 classes you will have a unique image to take home, and frame to put in your own meditation room. Maybe good enough, stunning enough to be an heirloom. No painting experience needed. If you are nimble enough to sign your own name, you can do these classes.
THE ALCHEMIST ART STORE in Sunbury. Our demonstration…Happened on Saturday 13th October at 4pm. (The store is in the same shopping centre as Aldi in Gap Rd. Right next door to the Asian Food store). It was fantastic – about 10 in the audience, and I was able to demonstrate (and the class was able to play) with materials that the store stock and I have used for many years. Thank goodness for the Alchemist. If you came to class, or you are interested in miniatures, egg-tempera, or oil pastels and gilding, please come to my studio and learn the finer points. I teach the methods used by DaVinci and Cellini – who taught “decorum” alongside painting. Good combo!
MAKE ART MAKE YOGA MAKE MONEY:
No matter if you are an artist of any form, or a yoga teacher in any discipline, like me you need to make money. If like me, you want to give it away that’s terrific (and great fun), but you have to make it first. If you don’t have it, you can’t give it away. There are still some glitches on the site regarding times but you can read the times I have inserted in the course details. www.jahnehopewilliams.net
PRIVATE VIEWING of my art, at my studio on Sunday the 25th November between 2 and 4pm. This will be the first time in years I have held an exhibition in my studio, and it is a preview of the work in the print sets. It will be just like a European “vernissage”. My work, a private view with nibbles and champagne. An art “happening” in the comfort of my studio. Come along, have a look at the artwork, spend time in the garden. A beautiful afternoon talking art (and yoga). If you are interested please contact me. It is a small studio, and the viewing will be by invitation.

Like Ronnie Khan of OZ HARVEST, we are “food fighters”. Come to yoga at 11am, then come to our COMMUNITY LUNCH on Mondays at 12 noon, followed by 1pm meditation – and if you are having a struggle to make ends meet, then come and shop at THE FOOD BANK (they have things like coffee, trail mix, soup, powdered milk…) amazing things that you will use and need – the usually expensive things. Please don’t come thinking “someone else is worse off”. This will always be the case. If you need help, please take our help.
