Dear Yogis,

Missed Friday – so I hope you are all answering emails over breakfast.

Well it had to happen, I have been forcibly slowed down.  

Remember in December I tripped on my washing pole, came down a hard thump on one knee.  That cleared up beautifully after about a week, but with the cold weather I am suffering, and thought I would go see the doc “just in case”.  They’re terrific, BUT they want to load me with chemicals – I can say “NO”.  The last thing I want is to become a slave to the medical system at this stage in my life.

At Campaspe Health and the hospital they did every test possible (not yet finished) and now I know what the problem is.  they found I had a raging kidney infection (no symptoms), and no guessing –  also Bursitis with some osteoarthritis.  Is it painful – however  good old disprin for the osteo, medication for the kidneys, paying attention to diet, and taking herbs when required.  Thats what comes first.  I have to learn and adjust.  Thank goodness, thank yoga and thank Reiki self help, I sleep like a log.

I am thankful we have such a wonderful hospital, and I could have all the tests and all of them bulk billed,  AND, (listen up people) once you reach age 72 the government offers a YEARLY free total health check.  They say it takes an hour but really, it takes HOURS.  but it is free.  Please check with your doctor and get this done if you are a senior teacher..

I will soon be able to get back to bicycling every day – I do yoga even if seated sometimes, and feel quiet enough to do more meditation.

Because the practice is so compatible with yoga and massage I am a REKI MASTER – years ago I did each of the levels,  and If you want to know what I do, deal with pain and stiffness, relax, and get good nights sleep, you can come for a session encompassing lymph massage, reiki and sound therapy.  Email me for a booking.  yogafirst2@bigpond.com.

Dear Yogis,

What a wonderful lunch.  We had the biggest turn up we have had since before covid.  Thank you everyone who came and made it special.  We have got the next one organised for the 29th June, and as usual teacher training afterwards.  It fits.  You can come to the lunch, and then take the 5 minute drive to the studio for class.

I teach how to teach, and a little bit of what to teach.  Its all about helping you build you business in these trying times – what could be a boom time if you focus your yoga to people who really need it.  I loved the poster to the left – it was an older one, but could be still relevant today if I had time.

Yoga goes on.  Thank goodness our student teachers and graduates are moving towards more remedial and rehab styles, not just bending and stretching.  There is a huge need for teachers to deal with these growth areas, and you could be one.  There is huge demand and few practitioners.  Those people, like me, are booked out, and I could even take up travelling around again, but luckily there is enough at home to have me busy.  I am not  booked for twelve years into the future like Dolores Cannon, but certainly far enough ahead to give a certain feeling of security rare in yoga.
