I know there is a lot of depression around at the moment about both yoga and art. Some studio managers are doing it tough as are some artists, but that is how yoga is and art is from time to time. That is why I do both yoga and art, luckily I love them both, they are both parts of my personality in fact you could say after all this time, “in my cells”. Luckily, when one is down the other is up. At the moment art is definitely “UP”. I have been selling well, not big prices (except for a good commission), and I advise you to keep being optimistic and keep on keeping on. As the Buddha said “do what you can with what you have where you are”.
For my Melbourne University course –YOGA AND INCONTINENCE MANAGEMENT, I had to remember anatomy, physiology and pharmacology. I tell you it was a challenge, but I felt very happy when I got a near to perfect score – it would have been perfect except the graphics didn’t work. It is amazing to me that the persons I meet who have prostate problems (diagnosed) would rather put it off and hope it wont get bigger rather than face incontinence!

What was I doing this week? LOTS.

First up I was doing some tutorial for my Melbourne University course –YOGA AND INCONTINENCE MANAGEMENT, I had to remember anatomy, physiology and pharmacology. I tell you it was a challenge, but I felt very happy when I got a near to perfect score – it would have been perfect except the graphics didn’t work.
It is amazing to me that the persons I meet who have prostate problems (diagnosed) would rather put it off and hope it wont get bigger rather than face incontinence! Something the advertisements from the Cancer Council don’t address!
You can think this wont touch you – but it will, and it will touch your community. Decide now to learn with me, and I will pass on as I usually do, everything that is useful to me that I know will be useful to you. You can learn perhaps with google, but whilst you are making notes, pay attention to all the conflicting information and its source. Email me and we can chat. yogafirst2@bigpond.com
Personal, private consultations are available in the studio or on zoom.
