Dear Yogis,

Wednesday already, and so much is happening.

1. I have got a small class organised to start DISABILITY YOGA in June.  If you want to join the group apply right now.
2. The Yoga Luncheon has come around already – please come to the lunch even if you haven’t come before. Saturday at 12 noon at the Victoria Hotel in Woodend.
3. There is a new RESTORATIVE YOGA CLASS on Friday at 10am at my studio
4. and I will soon be launching a new set of SIMPLE TAROT (LENORMAND) CARDS – THE RED REVELATION DECK.  These are very simple images, as you can see from the original drawings on the left, and much more about how one card sits with the next one.

It is a larger deck than I have done before, and based on the Lenormand cards I started out my “reading” career with.  They were surprising, accurate, all about how life marches forward.  I have taken The Revelation Deck cards forward with these.  I will be putting them on Etsy which did very well for me when I launched by REVELATION DECK (which is still selling)..  I think people are looking for something, gentle and easy, and these new cards are both – they are still profound in their messages however, nothing simple about that.

I will be holding zoom and studio classes in these cards to get you started.

NAMASTE .  JAHNE

Dear Yogis,

The YOGA LUNCHEON  is this coming Saturday at noon – I don’t know where the other Saturdays went to, it just seems like yesterday that we were meeting at the Victoria in Woodend.  I hope there are more takers this time, we have the back room to ourselves.

There is so much going on in Woodend over the next few months, The Woodend Winter Arts Show being the main attraction.  I rarely go to the attractions as I really don’t like crowds.  During the year I enjoy going to galleries, the occasional visit to the Hamer Hall to listen to music and catch up with what’s happening in Melbourne, but mostly, I am loving being in my garden, teaching yoga, or painting.  Doing these things keeps me very busy and I don’t have to be entertained. My mind is always busy.

This year I will be opening my studio gallery over the Arts Festival weekend.  I have lots of new work to show you.

In the garden it is violet time (I sugar them and use them on cakes and desserts), the grape hyacinths are next,  then the iris, by which time spring will be just around the corner and snowdrops and bluebells will be popping their heads up.  Hopefully there will be a few showers in between times, although the garden is damp at the moment.  I want to transplant some “roses in the wrong place”  they have become rather large,  and damp ground would be handy.

I am constructing a meditation garden ready for the spring, and part of the plan is roses, roses, roses…. (with veggies in between! Companion planting – alliums to keep the bugs away).  I have candles, statuary –  although I am hoping larger statues will become available, a meditation deck, a view over the pond.

It will look lovely in the spring when the planting takes hold, and I have time to paint the veggie box.  I dream about it.  It is not your usual garden, and almost anyone can make one like it.  I haven’t got money therefore I haven’t got a landscaper, I haven’t bought the the planters, or done heaps of digging.  I have used what I had from trees coming down, pots, leaves, mulch and so on.  Anyone can do it.

 

 

NOTE TO AYI YOGA TEACHERS: I flagged in the last newsletter that 1. if you have been with us 5 years or longer,  and 2. paid your Registration in the next month (or have paid in May) and 3. pay the rego before the end of June -you will be able to access the next two years rego at half price.  This translates as $…. this year depending on level, then half price registration in 2025 and 2026.  Quite a saving.   Email me and I will send the Application.

NEW RESTORATIVE CLASS:  Please note there is a new restorative class starting on Friday next – see below

Dear Yogis,

BECOME AN ENERGY PIONEER – If we all used clothes lines, we could save 30 million tons of coal per year, or shut down 15 nuclear power plants and you don’t have to wait to start, yours could be functioning by this afternoon.

You only need clothesline rope from your hardware store to tie between convenient trees (as I have done), or across your car port or back patio  – I have designed mine so I can unhook when not in use.  I did by a pack of pegs for $3 at Kmart.   Or like me you could use a clothes airer in your warmest room at night, or a clothes dryer that you pull up to the ceiling (the warmest place) – I would love one of these, but need someone to put up pulleys etc. It is on my list.  I saw Angel make one on “Escape to the Chateau” and was inspired – it was easier than I thought.  As I have often said, I need a “Dick”.  He puts up the engineering – the pulleys, or whatever…. A good team.  I am a team of one, it’s a problem that always needs to be solved.  Thank goodness for all kinds of “Angels”.

REGISTRATION – SPECIAL PRICE – It’s end of financial year and the registrations have started limping in. In order to encourage the “Foundation members” any one who has been with us for 5 years or longer, and who registers BEFORE the first week in July VIA PAY PAL  (go to www.yogabeautiful.com.au and click on Pay via PayPal, yes they will accept your credit card.) will get the following 2 years half price.  This is how it will look .  Your usual rego $’s this time then half price in 2025 and 2026 .  This applies to all those who meet this criteria who have registered this month (May). Email me and I will send you the registration forms.

DISABILITY YOGA COURSE – I am going to have an INTRODUCTION TO DISABILITY YOGA ZOOM on Monday at 6.30 instead of our usual Philosophy class.  I have enough people now to start the course, I just would like to make sure that you have all had the opportunity to join.  If you are not usually a zoomed with us, or if you want the zoom link –  Here it is….  If this doesn’t show up for some reason (or look right!),  contact me and I will re send via email.  yogafirst2@bigpond.com
