Hi Yogis,
Last week I made an experimental week – I only posted on Monday. Nobody noticed so I guess once is enough. I think once is NEVER enough, but that is just me. It takes a while to do three or even two newsletters a week, and as none of you noticed or posted, I will persist with the one a week – if you want more, then it is up to you to make a noise.
What happened last week? As I said I found a distributor of Vellum that I am printing card images on. It is beautiful, gives soft and lovely images, and so different to printing on paper. The distributor is in Shepparton, so not far away, although it does take more that two days to get to Woodend. On the plus side the paper is securely packaged and just could not be damaged by Australia Post unless they really focussed.
ART SALE. The Lions Club had a sale of art works on Sunday, frames, prints, odds and ends that people brought to raise money for the food bank charity. I thought it was a good idea, but none of the items were marked with a price, and the idea was that you negotiated with the person in charge when you found something you liked. I was not a fan of the method.
If they had followed Windarrings lead, they could have put stickers on each (a great system) – red for $5, green for $10, blue for $20 and so on, we could have all been clear and I think more would have been sold. I found one or two I liked but no way was I going to barter and pay too much for a badly framed print. I did see people pay $50 for very ordinary poster style prints, not originals. I would rather save my money and put it towards an original at The Mount Macedon Gallery, or Art on Piper, as much as I thought that the charity was sorely in need of every dollar.
At the end of the day there was not many gaps where items had sold, and the organiser said that he was going to take to left overs to the op shops, and the canvasses to the schools to paint over!
WHATS ON. (don’t forget – we have started a new term)
Windarring Yoga – Kyneton Tues. 1pm, 9.30AM in Gisborne (the next term starts next Tuesday).
STUDIO YOGA, WOODEND: Although these are small classes I take them seriously – you will too.
Monday Hatha 1pm (full), Wednesday Restorative 1pm, FRIDAY RESTORATIVE 10am. New classes start when I have the numbers on my WAIT LIST. Email me to start. yogafirst2@bigpond.com
DISABILITY YOGA CLASS (YOGA FOR WHEELIES AND WALKERS) in NORMA RICHARDSON hall, starting 9.30am every Wednesday (or a bit later) by donation. Please arrive close to 9.30 and we will start when we are settled. I will be leaving around 11am.. I am not sure how long the class will last, or how long it will take to get everyone ready and moving, but we will be relaxed, and see how it goes. Two students or more – we always have a great class. We are change makers.
>>>>ZOOM DISABILITY YOGA TEACHER TRAINING. Our zoom section is done. If you want to join the class, you will have to wait for the next one towards the end of the year. If you want to join our regular Monday zoom class, you can, but you will need to email me to get the ZOOM ID.
DISABILITY CONFERENCE THIS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. I will be at the Friday presentations at the Melbourne Convention Centre.
If you are enrolled and started the zoom training, and/or the Disability course, there is a chance that I will get approval to accept my students for a period of placement with me. Don’t forget there is now a book available on Etsy..
NEXT STUDIO TEACHER TRAINING – The last Sunday in October!
YOGA MONTHLY LUNCH: last Saturday in October. 12 noon perhaps at The Full Moon Saloon as usual I think. Please email me if you would like to come, and haven’t emailed or contacted me already.
