THE AUSTRALASIAN YOGA INSTITUTE IS MISSION DRIVEN AND MEMBER SUPPORTED. BECOME A REGISTERED MEMBER……

Honouring the Universe – The philosophy of The Australasian Yoga Institute….

SHEPPARTON VISIT: Had a wonderful visit to Shepparton. As usual everything about the trip was splendid. The hospitality of the town enhanced by the wonderful owner and staff at The Carrington is always exceptional. I love that I always get The Honeymoon Suite – only because it is big big big enough to hold yoga classes. When I first visited The Carrington my room overlooked an ex–lake, a dustbowl in the summer. This has changed, and now the lake is a tourist destination, and beautiful. Yoga is going gangbusters in the town too. I trained so many of the teachers. It is wonderful that they have taken up the challenge and are living, working and teaching beautifully. YOGA MARKETING SCHOLARSHIP – This will be announced in our NEXT newsletter. I don’t want to jinx the program by announcing too soon, although I am tempted.

VIDEOS: Please note. When you first signed up you were given a password to access the videos. There is lots more on them than you may anticipate, so go for it… watch them. They will answer a lot of your questions, and they will save you having to do some questions a second time.. What is Nirvana? Seeing one thing through to the end. Hell is not a punishment, it is training. If you want to get your Restorative Yoga Therapy Certification at Level 2 and move on to level 3, then you will need to do your LEVEL 1 FIRST. You need that certificate BEFORE you can do Level 2. Please pay attention. For previous students: If you have done the last workshop, loved it and would like to repeat it (every class is a little different) you can for a small fee, I would love you to join in and share your experiences since your workshop.

“THE RESTORATIVE YOGA THERAPY ALLIANCE” – is a project we are currently working on, using The International Yoga Therapy Assoc. as our model. It will take us years to get to their level of perfection – but it is something you need. It will be an organisation aligned to The Australasian Yoga Institute. A branch of The Institute which will be inviting papers, focusing and sharing the more therapy aspects of what we do in Restorative Yoga. Not a medical model, but certainly a healing model.

“MASSAGE ALLIANCE” – I am still working on this. It seems a logical outcome of our work aligned to Restorative yoga therapy. I do it in the context of a journey to the heart of listening, and not as a stand-alone hands on “Fix-it”. I sit with the client and let the forces of life do the work. Massage used in this way is remarkable, and makes everything else you do in a session deeper and and more meaningful.

WITH REGARD TO STUDENT INSURANCE AND REGISTRATION (again):

Had a wonderful meeting in Queensland with the Insurance company, and now understand much more about how they are trying to accommodate us, and provide the very best insurance and policies to help us. We were their very first Yoga company on their books, and we are still looked after as though that remains the case – although we know it couldn’t be. They must grow as we must also.

WHEN YOU SHOULD INSURE: We based the course on graduating students in an average of 18 months to two years. Keeping this in mind we thought you would not need insurance for those two years, so we gave you the first 12 months insurance and registration free, and ditto for the second – if you were not yet teaching. . However, this is changing as more people who are teaching already are joining our course to get registered and insured. If you are not teaching then you don’t need to be insured, and you will be registered when you graduate.

If you do start teaching whilst you are still working on the course, then you will need STUDENT REGISTRATION in order to get STUDENT INSURANCE. These are an extra cost and you should factor them in, as you must also factor in your videos which are also a yearly subscription. The first year is paid for in your fee, but from thereon it is up to you to renew. This is not an unusual ask. WE do not hide the fact, however, when I ask you to read the applications and other information SLOWLY, we anticipate that you have done that, and won’t be surprised. Keep in mind that we are providing the skills for a career for around $3,000. That is extraordinary. A charge for Registration and Insurance and $275 for a yearly video subscription is nothing in the light of that.

Why Register with THE AUSTRALASIAN YOGA INSTITUTE? Thank you all the students who have responded to this call. Registration says you are a member of our school (and proud to be so), and at the very least the income received from the cost of registration allows us to give out scholarships, and help others in their desire to teach. It is not mandatory, but it is recommended, and we encourage you to do it. How do you support and encourage your lineage? – or do you perhaps dream up a more glamorous version, something featuring India perhaps? We have a wonderful lineage that goes back through the Gita School to India and Tibet. My Heart Guru, Margrit Segesman the founder of the Gita school (a very important part of our lineage) was sent to Australia from India and Tibet to teach yoga by her Heart Guru, but she never disclosed who that was – seeking to break the “guru tradition”.. When you register you are not just supporting our endeavours, you are acknowledging the wonderful teacher that Margrit Segesman was…and yoga is. A living tradition. Support us by being a fabulous teacher, and in time Affiliating with us, and taking our traditions into a complete Teacher Training School of your own.

Right now – TODAY, mark in your diary when your registration and insurance are due – Registration and insurance should be applied for YEARLY on the same day (it is easier this way). – at this time contact us if WE (this office) have not contacted you. Note well that although Lloyds of London are noted as the underwriter, AJGallagher is the insurer. If you have an issue contact us – we have a AJG/Parmia hot line, and we are the interface between you and them. THE AYI COURSE VIDEOs. WHATEVER YOU THINK, WHATEVER YOU KNOW, WHEREVER YOU CAME FROM BEFORE YOU START THIS COURSE – WATCH THEM. That is why I did them! As it says in your initial emailed information pack, from the very first one with “how to set yourself up“ clearly noted, please make a journal note of all the yoga you do in a day, and that includes the videos. A computer is just a computer, and whilst we make every effort to get them to comply with our will, they sometimes don’t. If you have a daily journal and mark down in it all the yoga you do and watch, and then on a monthly basis transfer the totals to your passport, you will have a hard copy record, and a computer record.

NOA BELLING – YOGA HANDBOOK and SECOND HAND BOOKS

OUR YOGA CLASSES: I have been doing this for most of my life. 50 years in fact. These are not the usual “teeny-poppy” sort of class, they are about CHANGE. Change the mind, change the body. If you are NOT wanting to change, to grow, to get better and better.. (every day in every way), then these are probably not the classes for you. And, you don’t need to wear lycra.

THE TIMES IN RED. From 2017 those classes in red above are at my home studio. So if you want to come to the home studio for your class please book. I need to know your name, the classes/s you want to attend and your email so I can confirm, as the classes will be limited and SMALL. Please email your booking and your details to yogafirst2@bigpond.com

PHILOSOPHY CLASSES: Do join us. 37 Morris road Woodend. Enter down the side not the front door..

PARKING:
At the studio: Could you please park on the white gravel I had made especially for you. If there is no room on the white gravel or the naturestrip, then opposite us is a space we have been given permission to use. Just drive in. Please, don’t park on the road, or in other peoples driveways or naturestrips unless there is absolutely no parking available at the studio and opposite.

At the Bentinck: there is work going on to build our new medical Centre. We dealt with the driveway, and in a few days cement is going to be laid for the ambulance parking. PRENATAL YOGA: Are you pregnant and craving some “ me” time on the mat? Don’t want to be just another pregnant yogi in the room? Come and connect with yourself and your baby during this series you will learn to love your new baby body the yoga way. It will be a small class, so register your interest now…

NEXT TEACHER TRAINING CLASS AT MY HOME STUDIO

The next will be on Sunday 4th June, 2pm to 4pm at my home studio (37 Morris Road in Woodend). Please join us – there is no need to book. Bring writing materials, and be early.

Please do come. Park on the white gravel around the house, and in the open yard opposite. I am not sure there will be room for trainee teachers to join the Restorative class afterwards. We shall have to play it by ear. We are getting full classes at home now.

TEACHER TRAINING in the CBD: I am considering doing the Restorative Yoga Therapy workshop in Melbourne CBD. If you would be interested in doing this workshop (which is an important part of the course) if this was an option for you, please let me know. yogafirst2@bigpond.com (For people who have done the workshop and would like to do it again, repeat it – you would be welcome for just $50).

I will be doing lectures at The theosophical Society Theatrette in Russell Street… Watch this space for times and dates.

TEACHER TRAINING IN EUROA: This is moving along beautifully and students from this group will be coming to our teacher training class this month. Now trainees in Euroa, Shepparton, Albury and surrounds will be able to do their teacher training with Heidi. We will keep you in the loop as this progresses.

TEACHER TRAINING and YOGA IN LYONVILLE: Just a reminder about this Fridays Yoga classes 6pm & 7.15am with a special emphasis on the AUTUMN EQUINOX for healing, rejuvenation and repair. Autumn Equinox is a time for cultivating, preparing and ensuring that the body is energetically ready and nutrient rich to support the body’s experience of winter.

The classes being offered during this Autumn Equinox period communicate a richness of information and knowledge on how the season of Autumn and the Equinox period affects our sense of awareness and general energy, and how certain movements, postures and forms as well as medicinal foods can be used as healing tonics and energy medicine during this period Teacher: Frances Paderno   Location: Lazuli- Hepburn Springs
Cost: $20 per session,  Students with passes are welcome to use them.
Directors: Fabio and Frances –   bafiodaponre@gmail.com TEACHER TRAINING SOON IN CHEWTON/TARADALE (and maybe in Sydney):  These are still in the planning stages, but Chewton School is not far away. But if you are in the surrounding areas, please let me know and I will pass your interest along – in the beginning I will be sharing the Chewton TT classes until we get them up and running. yogafirst2@bigpond.com

THE Australasian yoga institute DHARMA SCHOOL: Years ago I was walking to the yoga class in the morning, and I thought to myself “ This would be a wonderful lifestyle one day”, and then another voice said “What is ONE DAY, you are living this lifestyle today. Wake up!” . Maybe I am at that point again. I have a Dharma School, I just haven’t seen it correctly! I am teaching yoga, I am massaging, teaching philosophy, getting into the deeper topics – what else is needed? Nothing….

DO YOU WANT TO AFFILIATE WITH US and Teach Yoga teachers? If you are a graduate with us, have a studio already, and are at the point of considering teaching others to be yoga teachers, then please contact me and we can introduce you to our procedure for this. It is not like Macdonalds, it is not a franchise, you are always in charge, you make what you make, and I teach the modules just like you have done. It works – when you win, I win. Let me know if you would like a chat with me. Email me and let us set up a scheduled phone call – give me a few options for when you are available. Email: yogafirst2@bigpond.com

MASSAGE: What I do is not exactly massage. It is more a combination of relaxation and cranio-sacral therapy. We are having wonderful results, reaching new milestones for students. If you want a booking please email me, and give me a couple of options. There are not many times available. I feel like Dolores Cannon – she had bookings twelve years out when she died. I haven’t got there yet, but it is squeezed. Books early.

GIFT VOUCHERS for The Australasian Yoga Institute.
Vouchers are available (all year) for $135 or $70 class passes, and massage $95 one hour or $50 half hour. Please contact me and we will arrange it.

ALL OUR IN-HOUSE DVD’S AND CD’S ARE AVAILABLE AT THIS SITE.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YAMAS AND CHAKRAS – my own little books are on etsy. Why spend hours looking for the information when you can pay from under $10 for these books and have a very valuable easy-to-read reference and resource www.myyogabooks.etsy.com. If you get them and read them they will help you with many of the concepts that you are having trouble with especially in your modules. Go to “CHOOSE LIFE”, a home based on-line restore and recover program. YOGA NIDRA USB on ETSY. For those of you who want to do yoga nidra like we do (like I do). Now you can. I have done a USB stick so you can plug it in and have a wonderful, long meditation whenever you can. Please go to my growing shop on www.myyogabooks.etsy.com YIN YOGA/ANATOMY/MEDITATION DVD’s –Please indulge in ALL three
They are the best, and will form the backbone of your yoga references. As I have told you before when I bought mine they cost $100 or so each. I thought that this was a good investment, and I still do. We have had to increase the price TWICE – everything everywhere is going up, and we have held this price for a number of years. Now $57.50. At this price we are accounting for currency increases and decreases, and they are still cheaper than I paid for mine initially. Look at Ebay – everyone is about the same. At twice the price they are still worth having. With Christmas coming, please order yours today. I don’t have many left and I am waiting for more stocks to arrive in the mail – at this time of the year they sometimes get caught up in customs. www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

THE AUSTRALASIAN YOGA INSTITUTE…

Honouring the Universe – The philosophy of The Australasian Yoga Institute….

In The Readers Digest (December 1982) a marvelous little piece of philosophy appeared that may be helpful to you. Read it, and with these ideas in mind and a prayerful attitude, tackle your problems today. Get ready for ideas to pop into your mind – together, lets get ready for action. People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favour underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for some underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have to give anyway PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

RESTORATIVE YOGA THERAPY TRAINING AT MY HOME STUDIO (NEW LEVEL 2 COURSE BEGINS WITH A PRACTICAL SESSION FEBRUARY 18th and 19th) “Early bird” special now finished, full fee applies. Sign up today. Go to www.restore.moonfruit.com Please arrive at either 12.30 on the Saturday to join in a restorative class or 1.30 if you want to get right to work. Arrive on time, and prepared with writing materials for the class, and your paperwork completed. The Sunday class will begin at 12.30 not 11 am as scheduled as this conflicted with other needs. We aim to please. On both days we will plan to finish by 4.30. It may not be possible to join in the 4.30 Restorative Class after the workshop on Sunday – the class is full unless there is a cancellation. PLEASE BOOK TODAY The Restorative Yoga is becoming the backbone of our practice, and there have been some new developments. I have already informed most of you that there are three levels.

The workshop for level 2 will be at MY HOME STUDIO in Woodend. It will have a resounding effect on your practice and your life. To learn more, see below, and hop on over to www.restore.moonfruit.com. LEVEL 1 is the teach yourself course on www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

LEVEL 2 is the RESTORATIVE YOGA COURSE and the Introduction to Therapy with emphasis on Structural Yoga Therapy.

And LEVEL 3 (coming later in the year) In this I am presenting a course which will include nutrition, the use of exclusive essential oils and therapeutic mixtures which can be prescribed and used in conjunction with the yoga to make it a stand alone clinical practice. This would be a great addition to the practice of those who are doulas (both with pregnant women and the dying), and those who routinely work with the chronically ill, people in recovery… etc etc.

You cannot do LEVEL 3 if you have not done LEVEL 1, LEVEL 2 and started out with the RYTA200. This will be truly a therapy course. There is nothing like it in the world today. If you are looking for a life path, if you really do want to become a yoga PRACTITIONER rather than a YOGA TEACHER, then this is for you. The curriculum is not complete, and the Level 3 course will not be until later next year, but there is lots you have to do between now and then.

LEVEL 1 is on ETSY right now, you can start now, and The next RESTORATIVE LEVEL 2 will be delivered in February 2017 (18th and 19th Feb – see the web site www.restore.moonfruit.com for details) at The HOME STUDIO. Level 1 is not a hard course, but it is not a “rubber stamp”. If you don’t pass the exam for level 1, then there will not be an option to move to level 2 unless you re-sit the exam until such time as I can see you have understood.

If you are almost at the end of your Teacher Training, do this practical course, do the practical course, and catch up with the theory at a later date.

Please email me, and let me know your intention, or go to www.restore.moonfruit.com for details and an application.

(I will travel to you to deliver the workshop if you can get 5 students – you and 4 more). WITH REGARD TO STUDENT INSURANCE AND REGISTRATION (again):

In the new year we will be bringing in a new regime to make this link between STUDENT registration and STUDENT insurance very clear, and very organised…. Please note, you cannot get student insurance on the day that you enroll with us unless you have the documentation and relevant YOGA teaching experience that makes it possible. Student insurance is not a right, it is a great privilege. And it CAN BE awarded under very specific conditions. Please mark in your diary when you registration and insurance are and contact us if we have not contacted you. Please note that although Lloyds of London are noted as the underwriter, AJGallagher is the insurer. If you have an issue contact us, or contact them. THE VIDEOs.

If you have a daily journal and mark down in it all the yoga you do and watch, and then on a monthly basis transfer the totals to your passport, you will have a hard copy record, and a computer record.

THE SHOP and ETSY

ALL OUR IN-HOUSE DVD’S AND CD’S ARE AVAILABLE AT THIS SITE.

I have loaded a new course “CHOOSE LIFE -THE 30 DAYS WELLNESS/HOME REHAB COURSE”. If you have gone through rehab and need a booster, or you need help but can’t leave home (or afford a rehab), please download it and try it.

The MALAS and THREE MINUTE MEDITATION on ETSY. If you have been inspired (by me) and by the experience of using Mala Beads to stimulate interest in meditation, I have made some, and will be loading them this week on ETSY. They are wooden beads, with glass linking beads and a very special red and gold pendant bead made especially for us and inscribed with the “OM”. The cost of this packed in a box with a special bag, and an inspirational/instructional tiny booklet will be $35 plus postage. This money will be directed to The Foundation to help others.

YIN YOGA/ANATOMY/MEDITATION DVD’s –Please indulge in ALL three

They are the best, and will form the backbone of your yoga references. As I have told you before when I bought mine they cost $100 or so each. I thought that this was a good investment, and I still do. We have had to increase the price TWICE – everything everywhere is going up, and we have held this price for a number of years.

PS thank you to the students, who realizing they got the DVD’s at the wrong price have sent me the difference between the old price and the new one. It is greatly appreciated. The gesture made me so proud of the students who have taken this step. They are really, really living yoga.

THE GARDEN – It is STILL like winter in the garden. Freezing and 10 degrees. Like winter. I am confused so the plants must be too. I worked in the garden on Saturday and it was warm and sunny, not so today! I have to remind you that in the 1960’s to 1980’s the weather was wet and cold at this time of the year too. Yes, there is such a thing as global warming – but this is just weather, and seems to be part of a cycle. I can remember having to wear rubber boots to shop at the local flooded supermarket! Even 10 years ago at this time of the year, the Campaspe was a wild torrent with white water rafters having an amazing (and dangerous) time! It is weather. We can’t order it – we just have to deal with it. Love it.

THE BUDDHA WALK. I designed my garden with the idea of a Buddha Meditation Walk uppermost in my mind. We already have the statue of Jesus, the statue of Ganesha, three statues of Buddha, and The LARGE Stupa. When we can have regular meditation, teacher training, and healing happening, then maybe you will take the opportunity to walk through the garden, stopping at each shrine, and reflecting on what is happening with you at each. I can’t force you to walk, I can’t mandate or legislate – you have to want to. But it is there right now. It will change, it will get better, but it is already there,waiting for you.

MY TAROT – I have got the proof print for the first eight cards, and have just started work on the last card for the second eight. If you want an email reading please contact me. $35 for one question, $70 for two questions, $130 for three questions.

Let me know – yogafirst2@bigpond.com. I will keep you informed as to the progress of the cards. They will be on Etsy as usual, and the web site is being worked on. I have got a Facebook page called My Tarot.

REGARDING THE OFFICE: Thank you all so much for getting straight for Christmas – and living the Yamas. Now, direct that wonderful energy to looking for the time your registration and insurance is due…

ATTENTION: EMAIL NUMBER. There was a problem with the server, but this has been fixed (after 2 days!!!) – For anything, anything at all please email me atyogafirst2@bigpond.com. If you do not your emails may get lost, as I am gradually going to get rid of the other email numbers…. Do not ring unless you have not got email, or you have an urgent question. Email, leave your number and I will get back to you. Phones? We are being re-organised, even here…. So at the moment my number is 0402 088 170 – preferably leave a text or email. I will return your calls when I can – I am not a slave to either the computer or the phone, so you may find that emails or text (which I always recommend) work out best.

I am always as close as the post or the email, always working to make things better, dig deeper. Why? So you can be the best you can be. Email me, talk to me, send me photographs. I look forward to hearing from you. For more wonderful, delicious thoughts log on to our Web site www.yogabeautiful.com.auand tune in to our videos daily.

ENJOY – Love and Blessings, Namaste Jahne

THE AUSTRALASIAN YOGA INSTITUTE…

Honouring the Universe – The philosophy of The Australasian Yoga Institute….

Dedicated to a tradition of excellence in teaching for more than 40 years, The Australasian Yoga Institute offers yoga teachers comprehensive and systematic training in classical yoga. We teach yoga techniques for body, breath, mind and spirit in 200hr and 500hr certification programs. Our programs include training in meditation, asana. GOOD MORNING DEAR STUDENTS Shining one.

Breathing out, let go
And fall into the knowing of all creation,
As existing within space,
And you are absorbedd in that
Vibrant full fullness.
In this moment your body is intimate
With space, exchanging essence for essence.

Balancing in the midst of vast emptiness,
Know utter freedom.

The Radiant Sutras. (Vienna Bhairava Tantra.) No.58 FIRST AID COURSE It’s that time again. Re-Registration for the First Aid Certificate– well, it is for me. If you would like to join us at our studio for the mandatory first aid course, we are holding it on Thursday 20th April. The cost has been quoted to me at $135 per person. You will need to do a pre-registration questionnaire which will take about 20 minutes. If you would like to join us, please put this in your diary. Email me to book a space at yoga first@netcon.net.au

KNITTING: I took a bag of shawls and rugs to the collection point for Tibet, and we are working getting another bag of knitting together. Please keep knitting for me, for the children. Shawls, Rugs, Beannies and scarves. You choose. What is Nirvana? Seeing one thing through to the end. Hell is not a punishment, it is training. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT – GRADINGS ETC.

GRADINGS: I have started to give your final certificates out GRADED. So you will begin to see on your Certificate of Completion (not your Registration) various grades. I am sure it will give you a more accurate view of where you are at. If you want a good grade, step up, more contact, more research, more reading….

RESTORATIVE YOGA THERAPY TRAINING AT MY HOME STUDIO. THE NEW LEVEL 2 COURSE IS TAKING BOOKING FOR THE SECOND WORKSHOP IN CASE YOU MISSED THE FIRST – planned date 27th and 28th May, 2pm to 4.30 on Saturday, 1pm to 4pm Sunday. For the best – the latest about Restorative Yoga therapy classes, Training and THE ALLIANCE…
Go to www.restore.moonfruit.com

If you want to get your Restorative Yoga Therapy Certification at Level 2 and move on to level 3, then you will need to do your LEVEL 1 FIRST. You need that certificate BEFORE you can do Level 2. Please pay attention. For previous students: If you have done the last workshop, loved it and would like to repeat it (every class is a little different) you can for a small fee, I would love you to join in and share your experiences since your workshop.

The Restorative Yoga is becoming the backbone of our practice, and there have been some new developments. I have already informed most of you that there are three levels.

LEVEL 1 is the teach yourself course on www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

LEVEL 2 is the RESTORATIVE YOGA COURSE and the Introduction to Therapy with emphasis on Structural Yoga Therapy..

And LEVEL 3 (coming later in the year) In this I am presenting a course which will include nutrition, the use of exclusive essential oils and therapeutic mixtures which can be prescribed and used in conjunction with the yoga to make it a stand- alone clinical practice. This would be a great addition to the practice of those who are doulas (both with pregnant women and the dying), and those who routinely work with the chronically ill, people in recovery… etc etc.

We are an Approved Training Provider with IICT, and they have contacted me with regards to accrediting this course. So I will of course be moving in that direction too.

LEVEL 1 is on ETSY right now, you can start now, and The next RESTORATIVE LEVEL 2 will be delivered where we advise. I am working on Level 3 and the “Alliance”. Level 1 is not a hard course, but it is not a “rubber stamp”. If you don’t pass the exam for level 1, then there will not be an option to move to level 2 unless you re-sit the exam until such time as I can see you have understood.

If you are almost at the end of your Teacher Training, do this practical course, do the practical course, and catch up with the theory at a later date.

Please email me, and let me know your intention, or go to www.restore.moonfruit.com for details and an application.

(I will travel to you to deliver the workshop if you can get 5 students – you and 4 more).

WITH REGARD TO STUDENT INSURANCE AND REGISTRATION (again):

Right now – TODAY, mark in your diary when your registration and insurance are due – at this time contact us if we have not contacted you. Note well that although Lloyds of London are noted as the underwriter, AJGallagher is the insurer. If you have an issue contact us, or contact them. PLEASE APPLY FOR YOUR INSURANCE THROUGH US. When you do this you will save money, and you will get many more FREE additional modality options, AND we get a tiny donation from each insurance from the insurance company to our Foundation…. Years ago we used to insure with DANSINSURE. They are good, and they are the only insurers who specifically insure studio businesses, but it is much more expensive than AJG. We are in discussion with another company who work on a much large scale working specifically with yoga teachers and natural therapists. Maybe something beneficial will come out of this for you. THE AYI COURSE VIDEOs. As it says in your initial emailed information pack, from the very first one with “how to set yourself up“ clearly noted, please make a journal note of all the yoga you do in a day, and that includes the videos. A computer is just a computer, and whilst we make every effort to get them to comply with our will, they sometimes don’t. If you have a daily journal and mark down in it all the yoga you do and watch, and then on a monthly basis transfer the totals to your passport, you will have a hard copy record, and a computer record.

If you are a visitor you are most welcome – and if you are not formally a student teacher with us then the cost is $20. We have had the most wonderful trainings, there is nothing like them. Please do come. Park on the white gravel around the house, and in the open yard opposite. I am not sure there will be room for trainee teachers to join the Restorative class afterwards. We shall have to play it by ear. We are getting full classes at home now.

The last teacher training (Sunday 6th March), was fabulous as usual. We studied the STERNOCLEIDOMASTOID Muscle and its “syndrome” which we will be repeating a a slightly different format in Bendigo this week.. We started the class – as we usually do – with philosophy. The classroom situation is so valuable, and wandering off the course is part of the learning experience. Don’t miss it.

TEACHER TRAINING IN EUROA

Eureka! One of our wonderful graduates (Heidi Van Dannenberg) has opened a number of studio classes around her district since she has graduated, and is now taking the next step. She is becoming Affiliated with us as a Teacher Training Centre. Now trainees in Euroa, Shepparton, Albury and surrounds will be able to do their teacher training with Heidi. We will keep you in the loop as this progresses. Please contact us (yogafirst2@bigpond.com) if you would consider training in Euroa, and I will put Heidi in contact with you.

TEACHER TRAINING IN BENDIGO

Next Bendigo class Tuesday 21st March from 3.30 to 5pm at Crusoeden Body. Turn at the Metricon building on the highway in Kangaroo Flat, Big METRICON sign on the building you turn at – also its a traffic light intersection, just up from Bunnings. Crusoeden is the building behind Metricon building, and faces Church Street. Its easy to find. Cost: $15 per class for everyone who attends – thank you.

Teacher: Frances/Fabio Paderno bafiodaponre@gmail.com NEW CLASSES: at the moment we are negotiating to have Feldencrais therapy classes at the Bentinck Yoga Room. We will keep you posted. We are also encouraging Kalma to come back to take a yoga class. Those folk who liked her teaching keep watching this space. If you remember she left to birth the beautiful Sabrina Rose – teaching right up to the last minute so to speak! In the old days when we had a studio in Gisborne we walked women in labour from class to the labour ward! It was beautiful – but probably would not be allowed today!

ALL OUR IN-HOUSE DVD’S AND CD’S ARE AVAILABLE AT THIS SITE.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YAMAS AND CHAKRAS – my own little books are on etsy. Why spend hours looking for the information when you can pay from under $10 for these books and have a very valuable easy-to-read reference and resource www.myyogabooks.etsy.com. If you get them and read them they will help you with many of the concepts that you are having trouble with especially in your modules. Go to “CHOOSE LIFE”, a home based on-line restore and recover program. I have loaded a new course “ CHOOSE LIFE -THE 30 DAYS WELLNESS/HOME REHAB COURSE”. If you have gone through rehab and need a booster, or you need help but can’t leave home (or afford a rehab), please download it from ETSY and try it. The MALAS and THREE MINUTE MEDITATION on ETSY. If you have been inspired (by me) and by the experience of using Mala Beads to stimulate interest in meditation, I have made some, and have now loaded them this week on ETSY. They are wooden beads, with glass linking beads and a very special red and gold pendant bead made especially for us and inscribed with the “OM”. The cost of this packed in a box with a special bag, and an inspirational/instructional tiny booklet will be $35 plus postage. This money will be directed to The Foundation to help others. For studio wanting to buy in multiples – for 10 or more the cost is $20 per mala. A saving of $15 per mala. THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY: If you are looking for reference books THE THEOSOPHICAL LIBRARY is the go-to place. There are books there you will see no-where else. I go at least once a month. It is very old fashioned and you have to pay per term to be a member, but I urge you to do this. It is situated in a beautiful old building between Bourke street and Little Collins Street in Melbourne. YIN YOGA/ANATOMY/MEDITATION DVD’s –Please indulge in ALL three
They are the best, and will form the backbone of your yoga references. As I have told you before when I bought mine they cost $100 or so each. I thought that this was a good investment, and I still do. We have had to increase the price TWICE – everything everywhere is going up, and we have held this price for a number of years. Now $57.50. At this price we are accounting for currency increases and decreases, and they are still cheaper than I paid for mine initially. Look at Ebay – everyone is about the same. At twice the price they are still worth having. With Christmas coming, please order yours today. I don’t have many left and I am waiting for more stocks to arrive in the mail – at this time of the year they sometimes get caught up in customs. www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

THE USB talks. I have started a new group of USB’s with little booklet to accompany each. The name of the USB’s series is “TALKING ABOUT…” I have completed a USB talk on QUIT SMOKING – a hypnotherapy top-up, and the next one is LANGUAGE OF YOGA. Where? www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

THE GARDEN AND THE BEES – The bees are working overtime. We have had such a luscious flow – so if any of you out there would like some, please let me know and I will save some and bring a jar to class, of course you will have to pick up at training days… I can’t put honey in the post, it is so heavy it would not be sensible to post the jars… The post would cost more than the honey..

THE BUDDHA WALK. I have been trimming the trees and the undergrowth as has Charlie, and The Buddha Walk is becoming clearer. Less overgrown. If you come to class, take the opportunity to walk through the garden, stopping at each shrine, and reflecting on what is happening with you at each. I can’t force you to walk, I can’t mandate or legislate – you have to want to. But it is there right now. It will change, it will get better, but it is already there,waiting for you. It is much easier to get around now that charlie is doing a bit of trimming! I would love to have enough ground to do a labyrinth, but I don’t, so just walk around stopping at the shrines.

ENJOY – Love and Blessings, Namaste Jahne
