Dear Yogis,

Today, this morning, at last I have had a response to my call out to discover if you would consider a zoom teacher training on a weekend once a month.  Just an hour or two… I first suggested this over Christmas, and I have not had one response until today. This all tells me that reverting to a postal newsletter with an attached print maybe a way to get your attention.

I have suggested that I may have all my classes via zoom.  The time may come when this is a better option.  We did it in covid – we may do it again, especially if petrol prices preclude people coming to class.  I must say I applaud that we can travel by train with no charge.  They should leave it, so we can travel free every day all the time.

The next MANTRA MAIL CLUB mail out is on the 15th April. I have a lovely print, a tiny line sketch I have made of the dalai lama, a recipe, and more…     Go to www.yogabeautiful.com.au to find out more details.  I am hoping in time it will run beside this newsletter, and you will get it monthly in the post.  This email newsletter will just be for changes, new classes etc..  The painting on the left is of Gracie my cat.  A portrait.  Yes, she does look at me like that, after all she is a princess, you may not get it in the mail-out unless you ask particularly.   You can always commission a portrait of your dog or cat (or bird)!

ART SALES:  For those of you who asked “Yes” Etsy is still worthwhile.  I just love that they let me know who looked at the store, what they actually looked at, who has things in their basket, and best of all –  people are still buying.  People in Australia – no big postage fees!!!

 

Our Monday zoom class is doing well.  We are 5 weeks into working on out Divine Purpose.  I think we have all learned HEAPS.  There is one, maybe two lessons to go – depending on questions.  We only have an hour on Mondays, and the same core group come week after week.  Thanks gang – NEWBIES ALWAYS WELCOME!

We plan to have an exhibition in their new gallery space and distillation workshop with views that go on forever..  September is the present date.  Spring in the lavender.

NAMASTE – JAHNE

Dear Yogis,

Just a FRIDAY CATCH UP – I tried to get it out in time, but the power went out, so my best efforts were scuttled.  I really must get a battery to link to my solar.

Our zoom class is doing well.  We are 5 weeks into working on out Divine Purpose.  I think we have all learned HEAPS.  There is one, maybe two lessons to go – depending on questions.  We only have an hour on Mondays, and the same core group come week after week.  Thanks gang – NEWBIES ALWAYS WELCOME!

Talking about Gang (or Sangha).  The same group register year after year.  This time I am going to sweeten the deal.  If you register (or re-register) with us this month, and if you pay $10 postage I will give you 3 months FREE MANTRA MAIL CLUB.  (if you have paid your rego plus Mantra in the beginning of the month, I will give you an extra 3 months) Email me for your application.  yogafirst2@bigpond.com. 

Every month for three months you will receive a print of one of my originals (see my instagram account) a letter, this month a book mark and yoga quotes and an exercise or two, and a sketch,  a recipe for the botanical I have illustrated – but not stickers and spam.  I want to include things that will be useful and informative, plus – I have to be sure the envelope is not too fat for the post office measuring slit(!), because they already cost $1.70 and it could go up to $2.30 if there is too much in the envelope – who makes these rules? They just want to phase out post altogether – I don’t want them to phase it out, I like getting letters.

The next MANTRA MAIL CLUB mail out is on the 15th April.
