Good morning Yogis,

Although there is no date or time, I am looking forward to organising a yarn bombing class – where or when I don’t know.  Yarn bombing is so relaxing. You can knit but it doesn’t matter if you are not looking, not concentrating, drop a stitch, or stitches mysteriously come and go and the end result doesn’t make sense.  I remember when i was a teeny tot and my mother was trying to teach me to knit.  She wasn’t a natural teacher, and she got very frustrated when I didn’t understand.  I dropped a stitch and she was upset – I tried to calm the storm by saying I wanted it to look like that and “it was an elephant”.  It seemed to do the trick.

In yarn bombing your piece can have lots of “elephants” it doesn’t really matter.  Bright colours, unusual shapes can all be made into something ant attached to something.  It is the perfect “sport” for the diverse-ability communities, and in NSW the Deaf/Blind community has taken it on big time.

Last time we did it via the library (tourists came from all over Victoria to see the results).  We had to desist because someone from the “sustainability” fraternity complained that we were disturbing the possums and wildlife generally.  If we actually were, I think lots of people would wrap their trees in colourful creations if that was all it took to deter possums.

At the end, the pieces are made into rugs, beanies and etc and given to charity.  Nothing is wasted.

YOGA CLASSES – DIVERSABILITY CLASSES.  

I have incorporated Pilates “Magic Circles” into the class, and they are very popular.  It’s a “love/hate” relationship.  They are challenging, but worthwhile. No matter where the classes are, I take the circles, and they are received well.  In fact at Windarring they are hilarious… we have such fun – I don’t think that happens in a regular class.

WHAT’S ON

Windarring Yoga –  Kyneton Tues. 1pm,  9.30AM in Gisborne (10 week term ending in September).
