Dear Yogis,
What a lovely weekend I had. A great day at The Gallery, then we had a lovely yoga lunch at The Victoria, Woodend. One student who lunches WEEKLY at the RACV said that the Vic steak was better than the RACV. Quite an accolade. I had barramundi and it was splendid too. Even the student who had salmon patties said they we amazing. Do go and try their fare – on Sunday no-one was disappointed. We will be having another lunch at the end of September so put the last Sunday in the month in your diary.
On Sunday the 7th September, I will be at The Mt.Macedon Gallery from 10am to 1pm if you would like to catch up. I would love to show you around.
On Sunday the 28th September, the YOGA LUNCH is at the Victoria Hotel in Woodend from 12 noon.
ALSO On the same Sunday afternoon – we have a teacher training from 2.30. if I have missed you, please come .
TANTRA: I have been asked (by a representative of our local council) to consider reprising the YOGA AND THE EGG travelling workshop focussing on all things pelvis. Right now for every one pack of disposable nappies sold for babies, 10 packs of adult incontinence pads are sold. This is going to increase, and the amount of waste produced is worrying councils – hence the invitation to educate people in physical things they can do yoga-wise to strengthen the pelvis. You can’t do this without considering prostate health, and of course s-e-x. We will be considering Everything from make-your-own incontinence/period pads, to orgasm.
After a fantastic Sunday Tantra training, and the entreaty by council (who could anticipate this!!), I have decided to do a four week THE FOUNDATIONS OF TANTRA workshop – tantra classes (not just about incontinence), everything spiritual as well as practical. The classes here or on zoom will not be couples classes. I think it is time we all took control of our sexual power, and I am not necessarily speaking about masturbation. Both men and women welcome please email me and we can decide our next step. The last such workshop sold out in record time. If you are a student of mine the cost will be $200 for the four weeks, or $250 if you are an “interested party” (not a student of mine). Please email me at yogafirst2@bigpond.com
IS YOUR ANNUAL REGISTRATION DUE? DONT FORGET TO REGISTER WITH US IF YOU HAVEN’T DONE SO. Even some of our most loved students decide to put their allegiance elsewhere in the belief it doesn’t matter – they don’t understand the difference their yearly registration makes. To give your certificate more status, I pay to maintain membership in YA, I pay for accredited training status in YA and IICT and the appropriate audits, updates, and insurance, but if you don’t support me, I wonder why I am doing it. Once you have registered with us there is no need to register with anyone else. Please reconsider.
You may go for the cheapest, but in the long run, we are your sangha. At some point I may have to reduce although I doubt if I will close the door as many have been forced to do. In the end it is your choice. If you don’t support me, I will not be here to support you.
