TO MY YOGA COMMUNITY..

For the past year I have been donating my general classes to the Residents of The Bentinck who are in recovery, FREE OF CHARGE.

I know it is hard to balance the budget, and I also know that yoga for most people is the last thing on the list…  not exactly critical when it comes to deciding where the money goes.  If you are like me, you will be working harder and longer just to keep in the same place…

However, I think that life goes more smoothly when we do come to yoga, and to take away the money issue (the money EXCUSE perhaps), I am making my Wednesday 6.30pm class and Sunday 5pm class BY DONATION.  Pay what you can.

My graduates in Western Australia have been doing this for some time, and I admit I have tried it before.  I am trying it again.  Please support this effort.  If it goes well for July, then I will extend it.

Please support me in this.

and…Don’t forget to book for the HIGH TEA AND TAROT on the 22nd July at Reds,

and TIBETAN MEDITATION MANDALA PAINTING CLASS starting  at my Studio at 7pm on the 24th July

The painting below is one of my latest – THE GAYATRI MANTRA (The words in Tibetan Script, a translation and in English) –  fairly complex and unfinished.  You will learning how to do a simpler mandala, but quite beautiful.  Something you will treasure.

Please email me to book:  yogafirst2@bigpond.com

 

 

Namaste,  Jahne.

GREETINGS FROM THE AUSTRALASIAN YOGA INSTITUTE

And The GitaJaia Yoga Foundation

 

THE ART SHOW

This was splendiferous. At 2pm I was there alone, and I thought “Oh!Oh! I a have birthed a lemon”. But no. By 3pm things had hotted up, and I had to excuse myself at 4.30 to go teach yoga. I sold more than I had anticipated which is fabulous – so THANK YOU, THANK YOU, all of you who came and supported us in this endeavour.

Reds is going to support us with ongoing Angel Exhibitions. So, if you didn’t catch us on Sunday drop in there during business hours and have a browse.  I have replaced the major paintings that were sold.  Reds Restaurant, High Street, Woodend. (next to The Commonwealth Bank).

 

YOGA CLASSES.

Winter is on the way, and yoga usually hots up at this time.

There seems to be a pattern emerging, and I love patterns. Please gang, get your yoga gear out of moth balls. Coming to class two weeks out of four is depressing for our teachers. I know, I have had to do this from time to time, and it is not useful from the students point of view either.  We need your smiling faces there weekly – well we would like more than weekly, but weekly will do.

A discount of this size is not available for the occasional visit.  

We can only make this big discount to honour those students who come to class weekly, and have been doing this for a long, long time, it is our way of saying thank you. Please don’t use this pass like we have used it in the past.  In the past, the discount was small, and we were relaxed.  Not with this one.

 

Looking forward to seeing you all at Yoga Classes

We have classes at FOUR venues.  This is the very latest news….as at the 8th May,2018.

THE STUDIO: 37 Morris Road, Woodend.

Tuesday Restorative Class at the Studio: Please note that there are no classes on Tuesday morning at my studio due to lack of interest. If you would like a class at this time, please let me know.  I will consider running them next term for a minimum of 5 people who purchase a 10 week class pass at $135.  This will be for 10 consecutive classes in Restorative Yoga on the Tuesday morning.  (Transferable to other classes in the same week).  Taking and paying for a class at a time has not worked,  as people come for one class, miss the next two etc etc leaving me with classes from none to 5…. it doesn’t work.  For this class to go ahead, you will need to be committed.  Please register your interest with me at yogafirst2@bigpond.com I would love to go ahead with these classes.  they are beautiful….
