Dear Yogis,
What a rainstorm last night… I was out at 10.30 in the rain dealing with an overflow. All good this morning – God has mopped up thank goodness.
This weekend is a special one for me, my dolls are showing at The Mt.Macedon Gallery (on Mt.Macedon Road, just down from The Trading Post), and the BOTANICAL ART CLASS starts on Sunday at 2.30. If you want to see me at the gallery and have a look at the dolls or talk about art or the bears the I would be pleased to see you. I arrive at 10 and leave around 1pm.
YOGA IN YOUR COMMUNITY.
I am sure that you have been reading about the short fall in staff at nursing homes and care facilities. This means that yoga is a welcome class now in facilities which in the past had no need of extra activities, and were well staffed. This is no longer the case.
If you are a yoga teacher, and you are short of students and classes, you will be welcomed by people with SPECIAL NEEDS. I am racking up the classes and loving every minute of this rather steep learning curve. I keep thinking can I fit in another class, probably. If you sign up for my little short course on ABLE2 YOGA it will prepare you for work in your community.
I put the picture of Lady Di in the newsletter because she went out and did her version of “Yoga” in her community. She sat, she listened, she did what she could, with what she had, where she was, and it worked for her, and a yoga version can work for you.
I am making the mistakes and learning from them for you. You could do a Cert III or IV in assisting at these facilities. I explored this, however, I have been discouraged because it is not exactly relative to what I am actually doing – which is teaching “yoga”, or a special yoga that fits with people with SPECIAL NEEDS.
If you are interested, please respond to this call out. There will be zoom sessions and modules as usual. yogafirst2@bigpond.com
