GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS ONES

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

Its a beautiful time of the year. The weather is glorious, friends drop around, and this morning I was up early drenching the garden even though it says it might rain. This is rain insurance – to make sure it DOES rain. It always rains when you wash the car or water the garden.

I wanted to take a moment to write to you about a workshop I am doing in February that might come at exactly the right time for you to re-connect with our school after the hectic Christmas, and back-to-school time has settled.

With everything that has happened in the school (and around the world) this year it is definitely time to re-centre, re-focus and RE-COMMIT. If yoga is what is central to your life, then this is your time. The Workshop is RESTORATIVE YOGA THERAPY. I really love teaching this workshop, and what I hear from students who have done it in the past is that it has changed the way they teach, changed their students, and has been a life changing experience. It seems an easy way to teach, but as with most simple things, the effect is profound.

The workshop (at The Bentinck in Woodend) is filling, so sign up soon. I know that you will enjoy the workshop and it will change your studio, your practice and your life…. To learn more, see below, and hop on over to www.restore.moonfruit.com.

While you are waiting for the Workshop,( and between yoga classes) grow and sustain yourself with a daily gratitude practice. Before you go to sleep at night, write down three things you can be grateful for (a lovely thing to do as a family)

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT – “JAHNE’S YOGA UNIVERSITY”

RESTORATIVE YOGA THERAPY TRAINING (NEW COURSE WITH A PRACTICAL SESSION IN FEBRUARY)

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.

And LEVEL 3 In this I am presenting a course which will include 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 first 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 at The Bentinck (I think).

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

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 enrol 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.

You must be an enrolled student with all the documentation on our file, and current regarding your course payments
That you are sending in your modules regularly to achieve your full teaching qualification
That I am comfortable that you can in fact teach (and it is not just about asanas).

That you have a first aid certification, and a police check.

And that you agree to teach only what has been taught to you to the date of getting the insurance.

I have brought some anomalies to the attention of the insurer. I might take the opportunity to go to their Queensland head office over the Christmas – just to get the best benefits with the best safeguards. The student insurance is just that STUDENT insurance, you are not able to behave and teach like a graduated teacher, and the Student Insurance is going to reflect this VERY VERY clearly.

Insurance only – $220. PLEASE NOTE: Your insurance is tied to Registration.

NOA BELLING – YOGA HANDBOOK and SECOND HAND BOOKS

You might be able to still get the book (and many others) second-hand from the bookshops below. I would advise you to buy a few so that you can amortise the postage cost across a number of books rather than one.

Cost Mail

UK 1/ Revival Books Ltd $4.94 $5.90

USA 2/ Goodwill Books $1.50 $12.99

UK 3/ Awesome Books $9.89 $6.47

USA 4/ Hippo Books $5.50 $11.50 condition poor

USA 5/ Hippo Books $5.50 $11.50

USA 6/ Goodwill Books $1.00 $17.00

USA 7/ The Book Women $5.00 $14.75

CLASS TIMES

$10 per class or 11 classes for $100 – new prices in the new year. See below.

Enter through the Romsey Road gate, and park either side of the drive.

No need to bring props – mats etc unless you want to – everything is provided.

Monday: 6.30pm Hatha

Tuesday: 10am Restorative, 7.30 Hatha with Nic
Wednesday: 12.30 Hatha, 5.30 Restorative, 6.30 YIN

Friday: 6:30 pm Hatha Yoga

Saturday: 10am Hatha, and 12.30pm Restorative

Sunday: 4.30pm Restorative (a gorgeous class and a lovely end of the
week indulgence).

CHRISTMAS /SCHOOL HOLIDAY SESSIONS

We will be closed from the 23rd of December to the 3rd January (first class on the 4th). Apart from that the classes will be as usual. There will be a $100 unlimited class pass that will apply from the end of the school term 19th December to the start of the new school term 26th January. If you don’t have a pass, each class will be $20. This is an expensive time of the year, students ask me to be open, say they will come, and don’ – but my expenses don’t stop. At least in this was I will know that there is a guaranteed small income. Your usual class pass will be held closed for these dates and can be used again in the new year. You won’t lose any time or money.

2017 CLASS PRICES….

This is just to let you know that I will be increasing my class prices substantially in the new year, from the 26th of January. I have kept my prices low since I moved into The Bentinck in an effort to encourage people to do more than one class. I had more room, and I reasoned that if more people came more often that would be good for us all, and would allow me to teach at a low price, very affordable. This has not been successful, so I am taking them back to where they were at my Home Studio. From the 26th of January, they will be $15 per class or $135 for a 10 class pass.

Ever since I started teaching I have kept my prices low to encourage more students. However, teachers I have trained and with hardly any experience (when measured against mine), and yoga teachers generally, are charging TWICE AS MUCH per class as I am, and in the CBD the average price per class is $25. It is a matter of economics. If I could make them free classes, I would – however, at $10 per class they were almost free, and still people didn’t commit. So $15 it is. If you all decide to commit, and make yoga a priority and come to a class or two every week , and the classes are consistently full, then I can take the prices down again – It is your decision. I do what I can do! Thank you to the core group for whom yoga has become part of their life – they will reap the benefits later in life

NEXT TEACHER TRAINING CLASS

The next will be on Sunday 8th January, 2pm to 4pm (followed by restorative yoga at 4.30) at the Bentinck – in the Yoga Room. Please join us. If you are a distance ed. student then the cost of the afternoon is $10. 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.

GRADUATING STUDENT: Those who know Rachael Tabone will be overjoyed to learn that she has graduated (announced at teacher training), and is now a fully qualified yoga teacher. Congratulations Rachael. A hard road, but you made it.

GIFT VOUCHERS

Vouchers are available (all year) for $100 or $50 class passes, and massage $95 one hour or $50 half hour. Please contact me and we will arrange it. Email yogafirst2@bigpond.com

Most people have never met, and don’t understand, that there are angels all around us whose only job is to make sure that you don’t get too comfortable, fall asleep and miss the important moments (and gifts) in your life.

THE SHOP and ETSY www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

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 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.

YIN YOGA/ANATOMY/MEDITATION DVD’s – all with Paul Grilley. UP, UP, UP!!!

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 were 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

PS thank you to the students, who realising 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.

REGARDING THE OFFICE: Christmas – Jacky is on leave until the 21st December. So if you have a money issue ring her on 0354 273 518 on Wednesday close to 10 NEXT WEEK. Get straight before Christmas. Just because you have Christmas expenses keep in mind we do too. Your training agreement did NOT say you get a holiday with the modules or the fees over Christmas… so pay attention to the YAMAS. Keep firm with your agreement with us.

ATTENTION: EMAIL NUMBER – For anything, anything at all please email me at yogafirst2@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 to asI teach and consult and can’t answer. Email, leave your number and I will get back to you.

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.

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

GOOD MORNING DEAR STUDENTS

CHINESE TRADITION

“The true man breathes with his heels”

EXCERPT from Chuang Tzu chapter 6 “The great Venerable teacher”

What do I mean by a true man? The True Man of ancient times did not rebel against want, did not grow proud in plenty, and did not plan his affairs. A man like this could commit an error and not regret it, could meet with success and not make a show. A man like this could climb high places and not be frightened, could enter the water and not get wet, could enter a fire and not get burned. His knowledge was able to climb all the way up to The Way like this.

The True man of ancient times slept without dreaming and woke without care; he ate without savouring and his breath came from deep inside. The true man breathes with his heels; the mass of men breathe with their throats. Crushed and bound down, they grasp their words as if they were retching. Deep in their passions and their desires, they are shallow in the working of heaven”.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT – “JAHNE’S YOGA UNIVERSITY”

RESTORATIVE YOGA THERAPY TRAINING (NEW LEVEL 2 COURSE BEGINS WITH A PRACTICAL SESSION IN FEBRUARY)

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 (at The Bentinck in Woodend) is filling – ONLY 2 SPOTS LEFT – so sign up soon. I know that you will enjoy the workshop and it will change your studio, 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 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.

LEVEL 1 is on ETSY right now, you can start now, and The next RESTORATIVE LEVEL 2 will be delivered in February 2017 at The Bentinck.

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).

SCHOLARSHIP

I have attached a photograph of our new scholarship holder. Kiri Buchler (and “snakey”) . She is a wonderful student (as is Cathy our first scholarship holder). They have been coming to weekly yoga classes – it is such a pleasure to have students like these girls. I would really like a male applicant next time – we need some male energy in our studio….. Especially in a teaching capacity.

MODULES WITHOUT ANY IDENTIFICATION

I ask and ask – please identify your work by naming and numbering each page of your modules. I mark a lot of modules, I have a lot of students. I am not going to troll through all the files trying to work out which belongs to what. A new one has come in. It seems to be a project called CHAKRA TONING, maybe an elective? There is not a name or an identifying mark through the whole of the module. There is a coloured line between topics on every page – the only identifying mark. If this was a university it would have gone straight in the bin. I am holding it hoping that someone will own up. Please let me know if it is yours – and next time… make sure you name and number each page. The last one that came in like this I did bin after months of asking for the student to claim it via the newsletter – the only way of contact I have.

WITH REGARD TO STUDENT INSURANCE AND REGISTRATION (again):

WHEN IT IS DUE?

a. Just say you joined up in January 2014. We presume for accounting purposes that you will take a year to do the course (the actual time is up to you – but accountants don’t like open ended equations – so we base our costs on one year, to eighteen months) .

b. You have the year from 2014 to 2015 where you don’t need to Register or Insure unless you start teaching.

c. The second year from 2015 to 2016 you don’t pay Registration for this year – it is in your fees. This applies unless you start to teach

Then it kicks in from the date you need to Register and Insure. For accounting purposes we have presumed that this is the year you will start teaching. In actual fact, some do, some don’t. For economy, it is best to pay insurance at the beginning of this year, and get a full year of Registration pre-paid. You are training to be a yoga teacher – chances are you will teach in this year. If you don’t intend to teach, then no insurance required.

d. The third year after you sign up you need to Register with us, and Insure if you are teaching. You will need your first aid quals, a police check if you are teaching children, and any further documentation to prove your readiness to teach if you are not a graduate.

Everything hangs on when you start to teach.

You need your graduate/student Registration certificate, BEFORE you can legitimately be insured. In future, this will be very clear on your insurance policy and on your Registration. You will either receive a “student insurance policy” or a “graduate insurance policy”.

Registration and Insurance are fees that you need to pay each year.

Insurance only – $220. PLEASE NOTE: Your insurance is tied to Registration.

GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS ONES

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

ATTENTION: EMAIL NUMBER – For anything, anything at all please email me at yogafirst2@bigpond.com. If you do not your emails may get lost, as I am gradually going to get rid of the other email numbers….

PPT.MASSAGE
I am sure you have experienced this – when you get too close to something you can’t really see it. I have been very close to PPT, and as a consequence I have forgotten how valuable it could be to you. It took a few reminders by students to re-kindle the thought that I should bring you up to speed. Because it is my favourite massage practice, and I am doing it all the time, I forgot the need to teach my new energy field discoveries within the massage.

You don’t need a string of degrees to do the course, however, this does not mean that there is no actual study, it means that the study is the background to the practice, the hands-on, rather than the other way around. What we are dealing with is an actual healing technique, not primarily a massage technique, and that’s where people lose the point. If you would like to know more please log on towww.pptmassage.com. I have no way of totally training this on line, although all this may change shortly as I have met, through my computer problems, a man who can assist in getting our technique on line or on disc. I will keep you informed. I have pencilled in a timeframe of 24th September 2.30 to 5.30 then Sunday 25th, 1pm to 4pm. That will cover the practical teaching. Then there is home study. There is no easy way to be the best, although you don’t need masses of training. With PPT it is all about feeling.

MASSAGE TABLE: If anyone has a massage table that they don’t need, could you afford to donate it to the centre? It would really help in so many ways. We do PPTmassage on the floor, we even teach from there, but a massage table would be much appreciated for the older less stable clients. Folding, light if that was possible.

By the way. If you see any PPT teacher training classes, and they are not by me, then they are not authorised.

THE FOUNDATION – AN INSURANCE OPPORTUNITY FOR US ALL.

I have approached our insurance company, and they have said that if we double the number of our insurance applications (more people paying for their insurance through us) they will donate a percentage of each payment to our foundation. The more people we get signed up, the more they will donate. It is simple. To encourage you in this.

Everyone who places a new insurance with us, or re-registers from the 17th August to the 17th September will receive a template pack (5xA4’s) of the Five Tibetans. Please email your request for insurance to me personally atyogafirst2@bigpond.com. If you don’t use this email, then I cannot guarantee we will get it. (this applies to ANY email you send – send them to me).

This is the philanthropic arm of our business. For many years I personally supported those in need, but now we do it through the Foundation. Thanks to those who kindly donate through our various offerings. This month Jayne Boyle from Crusoeden, a sister studio in Bendigo, has kindly donated some essential oils. The fragrance – BLUE LOTUS. I tried to get some for myself elsewhere, but couldn’t, so Jayne, who has a business in chemical free moisturisers etc, concocted some for us. The small bottle is $30 and the larger roll on is $40 (plus $2.50 postage each size). All money to be donated to our foundation. To purchase, please email me at yogafirst2@bigpond.com and I will take your cc number, and then post it out to you. Or you can collect it from me when you come to class.

ARCHIVED NEWSLETTERS

Don’t forget that each newsletter is archived on our web site. If you have missed one, don’t ring me, look on the web site at www.yogabeautiful.com.au

NOA BELLING – YOGA HANDBOOK. PLEASE…..WE NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE!

You must love this book, no-one has yet decided to part with it. Please, please pass it on…

For those starting out this book is hard to get. Even second hand. I wondered if any of you out there had finished with their book and would like to sell it back to us, WE WOULD LOVE TO BUY IT OFF YOU. We can get it secondhand from time to time for $25 to $30.

YOUR MODULES

Please understand that you are not the only person on the course. I mark each module, from every student and I do it myself. That’s a lot of writing from and to a lot of students – and assures the personal touch that you signed up with us to achieve. PLEASE HELP ME by numbering each page you send me, and putting them in order. Make sure all the pages are there, no drawings missing. If you are a “12 page plus drawings” type of student, then post them. It is so much easier….

If you email, the same applies. SPELLING AND PUNCTUATION: One of the students went mad at me recently because I sent work back unmarked. WHY? The work was sent to me un-numbered, un-sorted, and just pages of text. There was hardly a comma or a full stop. The spelling when “iffy” I can mostly work out, but work with pages out of order and then with no punctuation is totally impossible.

PHOTOS and scans – remember that if you have a fuzzy drawing and you photograph it, scan and email it, and then I print it – it is going to be almost unrecognisable! If in doubt, or multiples – lots of pages – post it.

CLASS TIMES FROM 5th September…

$10 per class or 11 classes for $100 (save $10 = one class for free)

Enter through the Romsey Road gate, Park either side of the drive.

No need to bring props – mats etc unless you want to – everything is provided.

Monday: 10am Mindfulness, 6.30pm Hatha Yoga First

Tuesday: 10am Restorative, 7.30 Hatha

Wednesday: 12.30 Hatha, 5.30 Restorative, 6.30 Hatha/Yin

Friday: *5.30pm Mindfulness (“Focus on Vision” from 9th
September), 7.30pm Hatha Yoga

Saturday: 9am Mindfulness, 10am Hatha, and 12.30pm Restorative

Sunday: 4.30pm Restorative

MINDFULNESS MEDITATION

(Non-religious. Practical. Suitable for beginners)

Being present in the moment can relieve tension, reduce stress.

*Friday Mindfulness “Focus on vision” from 9th September. – if you have floaters, eye strain, migraines, flashes…come to this class for a different take on these issues. The eyes are probably the most important and least understood of our sensory organs. An eye chart for instance only tests your ability to read. Is that all there is to vision? What about the rest of the body?

If we have poor eyesight we can always revert to glasses, but what about improving the use of the eyes themselves. If we have trouble hitting a cricket ball, or we are continuously bumping into furniture then what can we do? Glasses that make things look closer than they are, may in fact interfere with some parts of our vision. The simple-to-do exercises you will learn in our classes will do much to improve the instrumental use of the eyes, and thereby improve your vision (and your health).

RESTORATIVE Yoga is a beautiful, gentle yoga which is done using lots of props and lots of time. No balancing, no headstands, nothing but gentle stretches and rests. You and/or a friend will love it especially if you have had surgery, are anxious, haven’t exercised for years, have a weight problem, or have a neurological problem. It is also a PERFECT pre and postnatal session – if you are pregnant, please get a doctors certificate and bring it to your first class – not because I think you are unwell, but as it is an insurance requirement.

HATHA Yoga

…is the “mother”of yoga and where it all began.

Simple but strong poses which can be modified to suit those in class. Beginners welcome.

NEXT TEACHER TRAINING CLASS –

The next will be on Sunday 2nd October 2pm to 4pm (followed by restorative yoga at 4.30) at the Bentinck – in the Yoga Room. Please join us. If you are a distance ed. student then the cost of the afternoon is $10. 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.

BENDIGO YOGA TEACHER TRAINING Master Class – with Jahne, assisted by Jayne Boyle and Nerissa

If you want to get into Teacher Training – become the teacher you dream about, Jahne goes up there for the master class every 2nd Tuesday. It’s a great opportunity for personal yoga growth.

Book your place today – CrusoedenBody. (crusoedenbody@bigpond.com)

Next Master class Tuesday 6th September between 3.30pm and 5pm in Bendigo.

Everything will change for you when you work out that there is plenty of time in every day to complete the important things.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT – “JAHNE’S YOGA UNIVERSITY”

All our classes are available via distance education and you can start any time.. Thank you to those students who are moving from their 200 to another, higher course. Once you have got into the habit of learning, then it is easy to keep going…. Within our school there are three levels of YOGA TEACHER TRAINING, plus a course in the Gita, the fundamental source of all yoga teaching through the ages.

*THE BHAGAVADGITA (and YOGA PHILOSOPHY) which is like a Certificate or Diploma Level, RYTA 200 which is our “degree course” and *RYTA500 the “masters”.

1. THE BHAGAVADGITA (YOGIC PHILOSOPHY)

2. RYTA200 – THE BASIC YOGA COURSE

I move with the infinite in nature’s power. I hold the fire of the soul. I hold the life and healing”. (Rig Veda)

REGISTRATION/INSURANCE www.yogabeautiful.com.au

Insurance only – $220. If we get more of you insured, we will be given a rebate which will be donated to our Foundation. But only if more of you sign up! Please.

YOUR TEACHER TRAINING YEAR (or so):

WE ARE REVIEWING ALL FILES. Have you received a phone call from the fabled Sonya? She loves talking with our trainees, and she is confident she can get all the files in correct order with your help.– PLEASE. She is bringing all the files up to date. They got a bit disorganised, information missing, payments missed. Don’t worry, don’t get in a flap.. If you have missed payments, we don’t need you to start the course again, or pay again (if you have already paid in full) but we do need you to keep up your payments (or pay those you have missed somehow) and we need you to complete your documentation. You may have misunderstood our terms. You get as long as you want to complete the course, BUT, the payments are over 12 or 18 CONSECUTIVE months.

If you are a trainee Yoga Teacher who has been working on the course for more than a year please understand that your course fee only gives you FREE classes with me for your first training year – the first 12 months only.

Also, just signing up and not sending in any modules means you are not really a trainee yoga teacher, and unless we receive regular communication (even if it isn’t modules), at a certain point we will deem that you have disconnected from us, and we will disconnect from you, BUT NOT WITHOUT FOLLOWING UP ON YOUR PAYMENTS… YOU SIGNED UP TO PAY MONTHLY and we hope you REMEMBER! And, coming to class or doing an occasional module with no intention of completing the course just to get the cheaper, easier student insurance, and free classes isn’t exactly living the yamas! Sooner or later we will call your bluff. We are certainly in the position to notice now.

I have found if you paddle your boat it is easier to maintain the illusion of control, but I tell you it is so much more fun if you pull the oars in and just let the river take you where it will….

VIDEOS: THEY ARE NOT OPTIONAL – THEY ARE NECESSARY! Only $275 per annum.

Please look down the list of the videos before you try to do stick drawings, or organise your journal. I have shown you what I recommend.. All you have to do is download. I even did a video on ‘The Gita. Good feedback thus far – thank you. Please. Email us and Debbie will make sure that you are logged in promptly. yogafirst2@bigpond.com

THE YOGA KITCHEN/GARDEN

The blossoms are out, the garlic is vigorous, the lemons are still massing on the tree, parsley is recovering from the possum attack, and all looks well. Jacky, an avid gardener has pruned the berry bushes, vines, and trees in the garden. Now I must mulch before the weeds take hold agin. I put down one big square and it is looking rather wonderful. I only need about 8 more squares and we can then do the whole garden, back and front. Ready for summer. Water is going to be scarce I am told. There are a few projects on my mind. A rolladoor on my garage… and new fences.

YIN YOGA/ANATOMY/MEDITATION DVD’s – all with Paul Grilley

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. I think half that is a steal! And that is what we are selling this for. www.yogabeautiful.com.au

JAHNE’S MENTORING SESSIONS ….

Because Jahne has been teaching yoga teachers for more than 40 years, and running a business the Buddhist way for much longer than that (and successfully) she is often asked for advice. Asking course questions is free. This does not mean IDLE Yoga questions “just because you want to know” – She could spend her whole day answering those and getting no-where, in spite of the fact you may think your life will end if they are not answered – experience has shown you and me that “this too will pass”. Jahne is also available for PAST LIFE SESSIONS, AND ERICKSONIAN HYPNOTHERAPY…..

REGARDING THE OFFICE:

If you want to speak to office staff or me, we are available at odd times, but you can book a time suitable to us both. To Talk Money/Accounts, speak to Jackey on Wednesdays at 9.30 to 2’ish. Sonya Tuesday and Friday at 9.30 to about 2pm. Please Ph: 0354 273 518. I am always available on the email and am not always at my desk. Don’t hesitate to email me and I will answer your email or text as soon as I can.

Please only use the email: yogafirst2@bigpond.com. If you use any other, you may not get a speedy answer.

THE LAST WORD: I try to imagine life without being able to speak to God, but none of the days without that special energy have the same laughter, or opportunities…..
