Dear Yogis,

…our Saturday lunch at The Victoria was lovely, chatty and I don’t think we talked about yoga – but the time just flew.  I love these get togethers.  Just we yogis. Everyone had been dreaming about The Vic “fish in beer batter with chunky trips”.  I was the only person who deviated with steamed vegetables.  No famous pie, or great pizza.  I was there to be with the group – not for the food although I do like a plate of steamed veg.

I included the picture of the waterfall not far from my home – it speaks to clarity, freshness.  Sitting by it and meditating when I can is a very special experience.   It can be any waterfall, anywhere, even a virtual one.  Take time out – even 3 minutes and reboot your system.

I am still contemplating the YARN BOMBING.  I loved doing it, and since the time we did it here in Woodend, the world has been waking up to it, and International Yarn Bombing day is exactly that – International.  In Australia, especially NSW, the deaf/blind community are well into it, and I am going to try to engage the diverse-ability community here in my district.

I can help you do it where you are – it does need some thought.  It is not just a matter of getting together a ball of wool and needles.  This can be a fantastic fund raising group.. or just for fun.  It brings people together and the result can be ART.  In your area, nominate a tree or a bollard, or a verandah and decorate it.   PLEASE EMAIL ME:  yogafirst2@bigpond.com

YOGA FOR DIVERSE-ABILITY.

The zoom  part of the course has concluded, however, the teacher trainings are ongoing on Mondays.  If you want to join our classes you will have to wait until the next intake which will be at the end of the year.  Some of our teachers have already brought the trainings into their classrooms and are finding the work transformational.  This added to CCP makes a very rounded therapy and a very rounded, grounded yoga teacher.  It is not just about weight loss, or fitness – to be honest, yoga has never been JUST about this, although many people see only this.  As my teacher always said – “if yoga doesn’t change you it isn’t yoga”.  I think if my yoga classes don’t change you (not miraculously but with patience and time), find a new teacher – no teacher is the right teacher for everyone.
