I am often asked to recommend a second step for those who have completed their Teacher Training Course.  I totally agree with the idea of keeping the study up – once you slow down it is hard to start up again, and there is so much to know, so much to do….

 

The REHABILITATION and RECOVERY Post Graduate classes are such a wonderful way to go.  They are not by Distance Education (they can’t be), you will need to log in with me, be mentored by me, and work closely with the in the first instance.  They are challenging.  It is even going to be a challenge for me to know how to teach them.  I have been doing yoga for so long I don’t know what I know, my mind contains a huge repository of knowledge that I instinctively draw on, and need to learn how to pass along to you.  I think I can, and I know it is going to be wonderful for us both.  A learning journey, that includes everything I have taught you in the past.  Hyper mobility, CSF Connection – everything.

THE EXHIBITION

This is the beginning of one of my artworks for the exhibition at REDS in Woodend on the 27th of the month (2pm to 4pm).

Please come along and support our Foundation by donating or purchasing a piece of my work, large or small.  This will support our pro-bono work in rehabilitation.

 

 

I don’t know how many of you would lie in bed at nigh dreaming of rehab and recovery yoga – but I have been.

Once I learned that the statistics for drug addiction are huge and rising it “sharpened my pencil” so to speak.

When I was a “child of the 60’s” drug addiction was running at under 2% (some have said .01%, but that has to be confirmed).  Lets say 2%.  Now, today, 60% of the population is addicted to something.  Not just hard drugs, but alcohol, nicotine, prescription drugs, over the counter pain killers.. etc etc.  You can’t just fix one thing…  hence my program (and lectures) DRUGS, YOGA and SPIRITUALITY are hugely important.  Each part is important, each part needs to be taught, explained worked on before success can be achieved in the long term.  You can’t take a person away from their surroundings, take everything off them and the put nothing back and expect success.  It may look successful, but it won’t stick.

If you want treatment you can go to Government Rehabs – but they are hard to get into, overcrowded and underfunded.  You could go to Private rehabs but they are VERY expensive.  Very expensive.  Parents mortgage their houses to get their children in,  believing they are they answer – and they are for some.  Whichever you choose there are no guarantees.

We might have an alternative.  How about a program that included regular yoga classes, meditation, philosophy and “just being there”.  I have been doing this for 10 years, and it works long term if the client really wants to change.   You could even use our program as an aftercare alternative to enhance a program you have already taken….

If you want to explore this,  join us as a client, or as a student of our method,  or to learn to teach it – please contact me.

You can support us by diarising and then coming to our ART SHOW at Reds in Woodend.  We will be raising funds to support our not-for-profit Foundation.

Good morning,

I am inspired.  I am usually inspired and today is no exception.  This morning I have had fantastic emails from past students who have moved through the drug experience and used it to grow and become the people they were destined to be.  It is why I do what I do.

I have always swum against the tide..  it is a costly way to go from many points of view but is the only way for me.  If I see something that isn’t working I have to say, even if I get threatened, and I have been, even if I get down to the breadline which is possible.  The WAR ON DRUGS isn’t working and our way IS.  Our way is not just working for me, but variations of it are working around the world.  For reasons i don’t understand, in Australia we are not looking out, we are not taking notes.  We are still doing the same old, same old, even though people can see it’s not working.  You know what they say “If you keep on doing what you have always done, you will get what you have always gotten!”

There you are.  I have said it – THE WAR ON DRUGS ISN’T WORKING.  Our way is.  We use yoga, meditation, and philosophy,  and move our students from people who are on the way out to PEOPLE ON THE WAY UP!  It is magnificent.  I don’t have enough words to tell you how satisfying it is to see the changes.  The more complicated the character the more I enjoy it.  There is only one requirement.  The client has to want to change for themselves, not for their family, or their partner – for themselves…

I want to start seminars and post graduate classes to pass on to you the lessons I have learned, the path I am taking.  If you want to see how I work, I can come to you, but it doesn’t just happen in one class… it is like a Sara Lee pastry – layer, upon layer, upon layer.    Please teachers – don’t keep quiet, don’t sit on your hands.  You can be part of the solution.  Let me know if you would like to learn my method.  I just do it – and I can show you how but you will need kindness, compassion, patience and perseverance, AND YOU WILL NEED TO BE IN LOVE WITH YOGA!

Namaste.  Jahne
