OUR SCHOLARSHIP

OUR SCHOLARSHIP WINNER IS CATHY THESING  Congratulations Cathy!!!!!   She has been most patient and plodded through what needed to be done (the boring paperwork), came and had a session, and we were thrilled that she had applied (and won).

Thank you to our wonderful followers, members and a glorious patrons,  we are NOW offering a new scholarship open to anyone. Australia wide.  To apply, please contact me in the first instance.  yogafirst2@bigpond.com

 

MANIFESTING MONEY – Workshop This Sunday

A short workshop at The Bentinck on Sunday 6th November (before teacher training) at 11.30 to 1.30.  This will be followed by teacher training and then Restorative Yoga class at 4.30.  A full day.  The MANIFESTING MONEYworkshop will be $25, but if you take the principles on board it will be nothing alongside what you can make when you use the principles.  I should charge  $250 or $2,500, but no, it is only $25. 

 

PUBLISHING YOUR YOGA BOOK

Do you have a book that you think could or should be published?  If you would like to have me work with you on your book, please email me first and lets chat.  Don’t send me the book just email your preparedness, and I will take it from there.  It is so lovely to see a book in print – and also knowing that every day with every click of a buyer your bank account gets bigger – without  you having to do anything once the book is published.  How good is that!

Call me:  yogafirst2@bigpond.com  

 

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

UK      3/ Awesome Books                  $9.89    $6.47

USA    7/ The Book Women                 $5.00    $14.75

 

YOUR MODULES   

Your modules are getting better all the time.  I think that its because you are taking your time, reading the instructions, reading the questions properly, and generally feeling more confident.  This is not a Doctorate you know!  

Please understand that you are not the only person on the course – NAME, MODULE NUMBER AND PAGE NUMBER ON EVERY PAGE SENT TO ME PLEASE.   I  READ and mark each module, from every student and I do it myself.  That’s a lot of reading and lots 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.

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…..

NEXT TEACHER TRAINING CLASS –

HEALING SESSIONS

It’s always hard to put myself on the line – and saying I am doing healing sessions (even though I have been doing them quietly for years) is really putting me on the line…although I have had a heartwarming response.   Thank you gang.  The ONLY reason I am putting this out there is that I am now working with some rather amazing healers on the other side, and they have urged me to speak to you about it – the time is right.  I guess I should have known that when I was given the gift of the beautiful massage table!   My Guides (friends)  say that the qualifications I have been amassing (with no apparent thread), has been at their urgings, and now I am able to meet on the same level as them, and  we can work together effectively.  How great is that!  Does this mean that I can rest from study for a little while I wonder?    

We have had some amazing healings to date, and there are times when I am able to see the past life originations (not all the time).  If you would like to come, look at the yoga timetable and make an appointment before or after the yoga times.  Give me a couple of options just in case I am busy.  I can do a beautiful massage and a healing together or just a healing.  The healings are by donation.  Massage is $95 per hour or $50 per half hour.

GARDENING

As I said in my last newsletter weeding was the focus, well, nothing has changed.  We have had cold weather and winds with the occasional warm day, and the weeds are catching up.  Too wet to do much still.  The veggie garden in the raised garden beds, and on the deck are still supplying me with all the veggies for my morning smoothie.  However, when the weather warms up and the plants start responding I will be able to corner the market in shallots, garlic and jerusalem artichokes…

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) – you need a bit of background before taking on this course – it is not an “easy option”.

2.    RYTA200 –  THE BASIC YOGA COURSE 

3.    RYTA500 – THE NEXT STEP

4.    RESTORATIVE YOGA THERAPY TRAINING

5.      ***STARTING YOUR OWN TEACHER TRAINING STUDIO (by application to Jahne)  yogafirst2@bigpond.com

6.    PPT MASSAGE THERAPY

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.

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.  www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

MASSAGE, MASSAGE, MASSAGE

Massage is ALWAYS a healing experience.  I know that when I first started how excited I was and how much I loved it (and how hard I worked).   Nothing has changed!  I still love it, still work hard…..eventually having a business with 15 massage therapists.

 I can do many types of massage, of course I have favourites.  In my youth a hard massage was what everyone wanted (even me), but now, I want a massage tailored to how I am that day.  If this is you too, come along and have a massage with me.  I even do the famous RAINDROP THERAPY (with my own American Indian twist).  They have been doing this massage for a very long time and using eagle feathers for some of the long back strokes.  I don’t use the feathers, but I do use my hands in that way along the spine.

We have had some amazing healings to date, and there are times when I am able to see your past life originations (not all the time).  If you would like to come, look at the yoga timetable and make an appointment before or after the yoga times.  Give me a couple of options just in case I am busy.  I can do a beautiful massage and a healing together or just a healing.  The healings are by donation.  Massage is $95 per hour or $50 per half hour.

STILL SMOOTHIES, and 5 kg down

I am still doing the smoothies in the afternoon – for lunch .  When I was having a hard slog at Innisfree in the last weeks,  I did eat more than I should.  This was reflected on the scales…  I gained and I hate that and feel it with the small frame that I have.  But I knew where it was coming from.  Grief (yes, grief).  I loved Innisfree, but it was coming to an end, and we all have our way of dealing with this.  I determined the extra kg’s just had to go and I lost 5kg in one week.  Easily. I just have two glasses of water plus a tea or fake coffee in the morning (and may have a tiny croissant for a treat), then for lunch I always have a green smoothie, and for dinner a great pile of steamed vegetables.  Rice crackers or yogurt for supper before bed.  Lots of water, herbal teas… and NO snacks.  I don’t find it difficult to do this, and I certainly feel different, and so do the scales.  Energy?  I have lots as you can tell from the new and wonderful things I am doing – especially MASSAGE.  You do need energy for that. 

 

MASSAGE ON THE DECK

The other day I was watering and playing around on the deck when I realised what a lovely place it would be for a massage.  So I set it up, and NOW IT IS.  So when you come to my home studio you can have a lovely massage – outside.  It is serene, the sounds of the garden are soothing, and when the weather is warming up it will be perfect – it is perfect today.  Make an appointment today – choose a time either side of the yoga classes.   yogafirst2@bigpond.com

 

CLIMATE CHANGE…

Not exactly a change, but a difference.  I have been told by those who know the climate that the coming year is going to be much like the year we have just had, and then we will have a number of years with low rainfall.  Please start planning ahead for less water…  get rid of lawns, put in as many tanks as you can, even small ones in the garden to fill the pond.  I am, you can too.  If you have to choose between solar panels or tanks – choose tanks!  You will be pleased you did. 

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

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.

 

FIRST MESS, THEN VICTORY..

I wonder how many of you if when you were handed your first child, would be terribly thrilled to learn – and really take in, absorb, admit – the physical, emotional and monetary cost of that child.  If you truly understood that they were not perfect specimens and probably wouldn’t take after you (maybe steal cars, gamble away their inheritance and yours, or get into drugs) would you perhaps say – well, you would wait for a more perfect model, and hand it back.  I guess you have worked out there isn’t the perfect model.  You weren’t, they won’t be.  

When you really began to be aware of your future, did you think it would be stunning, and to date it has been a bit disappointing? Terrible!?

This applies to most lives.  We all have to go  through the mess to get to the victory.  You can name famous figures from history, famous figures from the bible, they all experienced it in one way or another.  Joseph and the coat of many colours for instance.  He dreamt that he would be a very powerful ruler, but before that happened he had some learning to do which involved being thrown into a pit by his brothers, being sold into slavery, being accused and going to gaol unjustly etc etc.   If he had the option and could choose a mediocre life, or a stunning one with a magnificent ending,  however with a few messes along the way, then which would he choose.  He chose to work through the mess.  Which would you choose? 

Your life is like their life.  Not exactly, but yes, it has messes.  NOTHING CHANGES UNTIL YOU DO.  When you change, when you don’t live identify with the mess, or become emotionally involved in it.  When you give up blaming others for where you find yourself, then it can change and reveal the fabulous end that was meant for you all along…..  Try it.  

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….

 

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).

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.  We will buy yours off you for $25 plus whatever is the postage cost.  Email us if you would like to sell yours, and I will call you to organise. yogafirst2@bigpond.com

You might be able to still get the book second hand from..

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 a pages out of order and then with no punctuation is totally impossible.  

PHOTO 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.

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 4th September, 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.

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 

3.    RYTA500 – THE NEXT STEP

4.     RESTORATIVE YOGA THERAPY TRAINING

5.      ***STARTING YOUR OWN TEACHER TRAINING STUDIO (by application to Jahne)  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.

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.                           
For some time it appears, the office staff has been letting you join the course without signing, and sending to us any of the required sign-up documentation –  or it has just happened somehow.   

In going through our files in the course of putting everything on a very intricate and extensive computer program,  we are pulling these out and asking you to sign up.  Until you do, you are not really on the course and can’t graduate.  If we contact you in error, please relax, go with the flow.  We are just trying to get everything as good as we can get it.  We are not accusing you of anything, just trying to clear up any issues caused by incomplete files.  

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 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

About a month ago I was delivered two large wooden apple boxes 4ft. in every direction.  I planned to use them as a raised garden bed, but I just didn’t realise how much it takes to fill them – I do now.  I have been using mulch, leaves, manure and compost like a terrine and over last weekend in the little bit of sunshine we had, I planted them out….   Parsley is the main feature, but when I know the weather will be better I will try more tender plants.  I imagine a pyramid of climbing beans.  I may be getting a little adventurous. 

 

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:

Another change. Fiona has gone off to study Ayurveda with Marye at Maiveda Spa in Kyneton (she is still doing the Wednesday 12.30 yoga class at the Bentinck for us).  A marriage made in heaven.   The amazing  Sonya has taken her place in our office.    TIMES-  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.  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…..
