Dear Yogis –

This is a reality check re this Institute.  The reason we are still here is the registrations and to a lesser extent, the classes and teacher training.  Because i will only teach teachers to be the best they can be, not just hand out meaningless 200 hour qualifications for a fee, we don’t sign up in groups as we used to when we were THE ONLY  school in Australia teaching yoga by distance. I still teach teachers who can travel the world, and can teach anyone, anywhere.

It is registrations more than anything else that has made it possible for me to keep paying the various insurances, and remaining available for my students, and viable.  I do not charge for “every little thing”.  I hate squeezing students for money, and even the monthly teacher trainings in the studio are using my time. Every little bit helps keep the doors open. 

It is not just a matter of signing up.  Schools who have not focussed, or who have reduced and reduced the registration costs to try and keep their students engaged are no longer with us.  The IYTA for instance – a large institute who just couldn’t keep up with the increasing expenses.  My painting, everything adds to this fund.  However, without registrations I would have closed the doors ages ago.   SO PLEASE, PLEASE REGISTER.  If you think it doesn’t matter, it does, and it keeps the doors open for everyone.

Some teachers came to us when nothing else was possible for them.  Graduated, then because they had a certificate went to India or other Institutes for specialised certification , and totally forgot that this Institute made it all possible, and gave them the key.  From here they went on to found quite marvellous schools – they pretend that it all happened in India.  It did not, it happened here first.  I can only ask one thing.   If you started here, register with us, we are your sangha.  Make what you had possible for others.

I  rely on you, as do all the students……
