Good morning,

Just to keep you all in the loop.

My time at The Bentinck is coming to an end, and we are changing the class venues, but not the times.  The Monday morning classes are new.

I am starting the “By donation” yoga classes at The Uniting Church Hall in Woodend  on Monday 6th August.  We will start at 11am then FREE community lunch is at 12 followed by meditation (Yoga Nidra that i used to do at The Bentinck) at 1pm until about 2pm – all BY DONATION.  The next “By Donation” Hatha class  will be held on the following Friday at 3pm.  Please keep in mind that these classes are ALL By Donation.  No need to book – just come in.

Our usual Classes, Monday – 6.30pm, Wednesday – 5.30pm Restorative/6.30pm Hatha,  Friday – Meditation 6.30pm, Saturday – 10am Hatha, 11.30am Philosophy and 12.30 Restorative  will be held at home studio (37 Morris Road in Woodend), and will start on Monday 30th July.  

We will soon be starting MUMS+ONE with Charlie, and probably a kids yoga too.

Art Classes will start this Tuesday (tomorrow) at 7pm at The Home Studio.  We will be painting a Tibetan style Meditation Mandala.

The Art Show and Tea-Leaf reading at REDS last weekend was lovely, and has encouraged me to keep painting and to keep reading tea leaves.  I have done it for years, but have slowed down over the last 12 months… I will be appearing regularly at REDS in Woodend from Sunday 12th August at 2pm.  If you want to speak to me about the art being exhibited, or come to class, or have your tea leaves done at that time – I am yours.  I am also available to read the tea leaves any other time in the week and weekend when I am not teaching.    The cost of the reading – $85 for about 40 minutes which will encompass a review and one major question.  I also use the tarot in my readings.  Which one?  My own of course – The Revelation tarot.  The photo below.  Recently I found a new printer who updated the printing technique which resulted in a gorgeous silk finish.  This printer also professionally cut the corners, which has made an amazing difference not just to the quality, but also to the time it takes me to prepare a set.

 

Hope to hear from you soon.  For more information about Tea Leaf Reading go to www.teaandtarot.moonfruit.com  or for any enquiries about yoga or art (or readings)  email me at yogafirst2@bigpond.com.

 

Namaste.  Jahne

 

 

 

Good morning faithful yoga students.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE.

This as an alert to let you know that we will be moving many of our public classes back to the Home Studio from the second week in August.  Times not yet finalised.

I have loved the time I have been at The Bentinck.  A wonderful place, but they are re-thinking their client base, and their spaces.  Our tenure will be coming to and end in July, and we will be opening our classes again in the second week of August at the home studio in Morris Road.  Now standing out the front is THE BLUE BUDDHA (the Blue Lady shattered in the cold – 25 years of standing in the front yard finally “finished her off” so to speak).  I haven’t quite finished painting her plinth, but it will be done in the next few days – when the sun comes out.  I have been surprised to learn that some of you stayed away from our classes because of the inclusion of the Bentinck residents.  This will no longer be an issue.

When Jacky comes in on Wednesday we will work out the 10 class pass costs, but the casual will still be $20, which seems to be an average cost across the Shire.

WE do have a new home for our RESTORE AND RECOVER classes for those in recovery from substance abuse and trauma.  These will not be at the Home Studio, and they will be by donation.  I will advise everyone of the venue once we have decided on dates and times.  If you are interested or know of anyone in this predicament (in recovery), please pass our email along.

Have a lovely week.  I look forward to seeing you in class.  Keep in mind that our space is not huge, and it is too cold to spread onto the verandah.  Those who have been to us at The Studio will accomodate our limitations as we did before.  I am looking forward to seeing you all…

We WON’T be doing the 6am classes – remember when you came in PJ’s?  It was fun!

 

Namaste.  Jahne

 

 

 

PAINTINGS, PRINTS, TAROT AND HIGH TEA.  WE NEED YOU!!!

The next show will be a “HIGH TEA +Tarot” to herald the release of my new “silk finish” Revelation tarot deck and new mandala Meditation prints. As usual it will be at Reds Restaurant in Woodend, on the 22^nd of July between 2.30 and 4.30pm. There will be a cost $45, you will have to book for the HIGH TEA although the exhibition will be open to all.  This is the way for you to help your fellow students (maybe yourself) get SCHOLARSHIPS, and help those less fortunate to have classes.  If you don’t support us, we cannot support you.  You can’t get nothing out of nothing.  WE NEED YOU.  Please make the date in your diary, support us in whatever way you can.

Because there will be a beautiful High Tea, and we need to know the numbers, please book. It will cost $45, and you need to pay with your booking (for catering purposes we need to know you are serious). A Tea Leaf Reading is included in the price.   Remember when I used to do it every day at my little café/yoga room – Mt.Macedon Tea Rooms? People came from all over to get a reading, it was fun, it was good..   On this occasion a booking with Tarot Reader will be available, however, NOT included in the price, and you will need a separate booking for the tarot which is a longer and personal reading.  tarot cards will be available on the day and to order.

 

Tea leaf Reading and pendulum prints will be available on the day, and on-line afterwards.
