NOTICE: For one week from the 20thof August,  my computer is going to hospital for a heart transplant, so I am going to take the opportunity to paint.  I will be using the understudy computer, but, I am not sure how fabulous it will be, so I am making my apologies now.  Please note that I may not  be able to be as efficient as I attempt to be now… we will have to wait and see.

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:  

One of my favourite books is ‘A RIVER RUNs THROUGH IT” You may have seen the movie with Robert Redford narrating.  Tom Skerrit, Brenda Blethyn and  Brad Pitt in the title roles.  Worth sourcing..  The words in that movie about the river, emotions, relationships and Montana are quite beautiful.  It is a memorable movie.  One of my students asked me about “Grace”, and I happened to remember a line from the book.  “Grace is an art, and all art is difficult”. (“art” – anything that is a passion, a focus in your life.)

 

NEXT HEMP INFORMATION SESSION:  Don’t forget – I have opened the Woodend Studio up between 2.30 and 4 EVERY Saturday.  Drop in.  I will be in the studio, or if the weather is good I will be gardening – and will welcome interruptions. I hope you will take this opportunity to come see me, and talk about HEMP, and CBD oil and the NEW ESSENCE.  I will have stock on hand if you would like to try and buy.

CBD Oil $75 per 50ml, The “MIRACULOUS” TYOH healing oil $35, and the new SATIVA Essence $25.

Of course, the studio is open not just for CBD  I am here, and I am happy to show you around, especially as I am now working on some new ANGEL paintings.  My first ever angels in Pastel colours.

 

“CBD (Sativa) ENERGY ESSENCE”:  The energy essences are working beautifully.  I have been able to produce a new batch.  So if you missed out last time.  They are back.

STUDIO CONSULTATIONS: Drop in for a chat on Saturday afternoons, or schedule a real consultation when you are ready to listen in depth.  Maybe with pendulum and tarot?

PHONE CONSULTATIONS: (as per the Studio questions above) If you would like to book a phone call with me.  We can explore your yoga business, expanding your studio, expanding your practice or asana /philosophy concerns – I am looking forward to hearing from you. There is a cost, it is a consultation the same as any other – an hour is an hour: $85 for an hour.

 

YOGA WITH JAHNE…..CLASS TIMES – all STUDIO classes $20

All on the Web Site.  Go to www.yogabeautiful.com.au  for classes.

Our classes are sooo terrific. They are such fun, so much family.  Thank you girls.  I am loving them all over again.

I am meeting people all the time, and many locals say they “would love to come to class when the weather is warmer”.  As much as I try to understand this, I don’t really.  In the old days we wore skimpy leotards all year.  It did tend to be cold, but that was how it was.  Now, I encourage loose comfortable clothing, we have a great heater (I don’t hold classes on the deck), so the climate shouldn’t be a consideration – should it…. ?  The snow in the picture below happened on Sunday – you will note it is OUTSIDE.  It was toasty warm indoors….

COST:   Yoga $20 per Class Or CLASS PASS – $135 per 10 CONSECUTIVEclasses (students of the studio for 3 years or more).   New students: $165 per 10 class pass (normally $200)  After 3 years as a student, the cheaper rate will apply.

 

UNITING CHURCH CLASSES (FREE or by donation)   Next door to the Police Station, Forest Road, Woodend.

Monday:12noon FREE lunch.  The 1pm yoga will be held at the Studio in Woodend, not at the Church.  The electrical system there ceased to function a week or so back, and although it was repaired, still doesn’t work.  I don’t like doing yoga in -5 degrees, and I think my students are more discerning (sensible) too.

 

MONTHLY TEACHER TRAINING AT THE HOME STUDIO:

DATE of the next Teacher Training:   Sunday 1stSeptember 2pm to 4pm  at my home studio (37 Morris Road in Woodend.   There is no need to book. Bring writing materials, and be early. If you are teacher Training student then the cost of the afternoon is $20.  This fee applies to everyone. (Visitors are welcome – even those not yet in teacher training – $30).

Crusoeden Health.  Turn at the Metricon building on the highway in Kangaroo Flat just up from Bunnings on the same side.  Don’t forget, The HEMP information session is happening at Crusoeden Body on Sunday at 2.30pm to 4pm.

NEW SHEPPARTON MASTERCLASS.  Date not decided.

WERRIBEE MASTER CLASS.  I have been asked to conduct a Restorative/Hypermobility Master Class in Werribee.  This will be held on Sunday the 20thOctober, which is the soonest we could get our diaries to align… such is life.

PARKING HOME STUDIO – 37 Morris Road, Woodend. 

Please, Please – Park on white gravel in front of the studio.  I had it made especially so that it would be easier for you! If there is no room, then park in the drive-way directly opposite in front of double grey garage rolladoors. Not in front of neighbours driveways please.

 

MOUNT MACEDON MONTHLY GET-TOGETHER

The yoga “ladies who lunch” will happen again on the Friday 13thSeptember (easy to remember!) at The Mount Macedon Hotel at 12noon.  EVERYONE WELCOME.  This is getting more popular.  Please make time to come.  It is a lovely venue, the table is in front of the fire, the view is terrific, and the food is terrific thanks to a new and inspired chef.  I look forward to meeting you there.

Please check your insurance requirements – keep up to date. We have moved to AON insurance.  You will be able to insure on-line BUT you will need a current (student or graduate) Registration to prove you are a member with us to get the advantages that a big firm like AON can offer.   CPE:  To bring us in line with INTERNATIONAL requirements rather than just Australian, we will only be requiring you to do your CPE every 3 years, do it round about the same time you do your first aid which is also a 3 year requirement.

How do you like the new logo?  In designing it this way I hope to imply that HEMP is a lifestyle issue which links with yoga.  (It is not MARIJUANA and you won’t get high – I thought I would re-iterate that).  Hemp is a highly nutritious food supplement with a complete complement of Omegas and Protein.  You cannot get high from hemp.. and it can help rebuild your body at every level by building the endocannabinoid system.    To learn more and get some recipes.  Please go to www.myyogabooks.etsy.com and download GET HEALTHY WITH HEMP.   

IDEAS FROM MY DESK:  It occurred to me that the only place where “luck” comes before “work” is in the dictionary, and moving with this new idea takes work.  Introducing any new idea takes work.  I love the history of hemp, and am spending a lot of time each day to learn how it can help us to improve our lifestyles on every level.  As a business I have always operated from an entirely different perspective than most companies, yoga or otherwise.  I have always responded to need rather than creating them.

To me, the desire to have control over my own life, regardless of the politics operating in my community or country I see as very much part of the human spirit in all of us.  What I realised over time that being a yoga teacher and doing all it implied,  opened the doors to my heart.  I have always tried to inspire you all, to show you that working life can be a pleasure instead of a dreaded thing, exciting.   I do this mostly by education.  By encouraging you all to stretch your abilities and certainly to challenge your imaginations.  I am very interested in minds.

I think that a few fundamental beliefs have empowered me..

  1. That you have to have fun at your “job” your yoga at whatever level you are comfortable with
  2. That if your work is yoga, that is where you should put your love
  3. That where possible you have to go in the opposite direction to everyone else – do it differently

Add to this that I have an holistic view of my business.  I do not focus on profit (although we all have to live), I try to be a force for good, and work for the welfare of my students, for my community, and ultimately for the future of the planet.  Sure I make mistakes, we all do, but I keep going in the direction of my dreams.  I am making every effort and using most of my time to educate people and help them reach their full potential.  It is not enough to make a financial profit – we must also make a spiritual profit.

“The passions are the only advocates which always persuade.  The simplest man with passion will be more persuasive than the most eloquent without”.  – Descartes

HEMP INFORMATION BOOKLETS:  www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

 

Have a great weekend.  It is cold here – snowing up the Mount, and looks like snow here.

Namaste.  JAHNE

 

 

 

 

I have nearly completed part one of the YOGA OF HEMP Booklet.  It will be loaded in the next day or so.

I also completed a youtube video on hemp (and a video on Passive Income!)  Watch them. Google “Jahne Hope-Williams YouTube and subscribe”

Since I began taking hemp, I have become passionately fond of unflavoured hemp protein powder.  It is protein and omega packed, and I am feeling great – as are students giving me feedback…
But you asked about me…  what do I eat.  
Before breakfast (because winter is here) a tonic for my immune system I make with herbs, chilli  and vitamin c.
Breakfast: A savoury dip made of 1 tablespoon or so (or more) of the best hemp oil, 1 heaped teaspoon of hemp seeds, 1 crushed clove of garlic and a slurp of good balsamic vinegar, all eaten by dipping about 1 slice of full grain bread cut into pieces.  I usually lick up anything left.  I have this with  brewed cocoa nibs (like coffee in a french press).
Lunch in two parts:  1.  A thick green aromatic dip of my garden herbs, hemp seeds, hemp oil, garlic, chilli, hemp powder all blended.  Dipping bread – home made pitta cut and backed into small biscuit size pieces.
Mid afternoon:  2.  1 heaping tablespoon of muesli with added nuts and dried fruits, hemp powder – all drowned in orange juice (or beetroot juice) and sesame milk mix.
Dinner:  Steamed vegetables, plus dessert – a home made fruit icy pole – (and a glass of wine or champagne)
Before bed:  a cube of home-made hemp gingerbread and a cup of hot milk tea (or decaf milk coffee)
I drink lots of water about a litre and a half a day, plus tea, coffee.
Thats about it.  It makes me feel good, my poop is beautiful, my skin is plumped and great, I have heaps of energy when I need it, and am deeply calm.
Hope you get some ideas.  You can see that Hemp is at the heart of how I eat.  It has made a great difference.  It is the deep calm, and a feeling of being really healthy and ‘all is well”.
