TO ALL MY Yoga Students..

THE EVOLUTION OF HEALTH AND FITNESS with The Australasian Yoga Institute… Your Yoga School.

 

OUR NEW SITE   I am sure you have seen our new WEB SITE, same name www.yogabeautiful.com.au.  It is beautiful.  Times, dates etc etc.  You will find them all there.

 

REHABILITATION/RECOVERY.  You may not have focussed on the fact that this is my specialty area, and seeing that statistics are telling us that 60% of the population are addicted.  Prescription drugs, alcohol, nicotine, and of course “recreational” addictions… Given those statistics, you will know someone who needs help to change.  WE can help.  I have been teaching into this area for ten years.  If you know someone who needs our help, please get them to contact me.  yogafirst2@bigpond.com. Many people get into Government Rehabilitation and Recovery Centres but they are underfunded and overcrowded, or Private facilities which are for the few who can afford it… Maybe there is a third way.  Yoga classes, meditation, philosophy and email classes leading to  certificate of achievement.    May be a longer term commitment, but it has an excellent chance of actually working in the long term.

Or maybe you would like to work in this area.  Once again, we can help.  Please contact me.

 

ZEN YOGA STRETCH.  Don’t be put off with the rigour of some classes elsewhere.  Ours are gentle if you need gentle, and we can step your asanas up if you are ready for more advanced moves. Or you can choose the Restorative Classes.  They maybe your entry point.  They are the “Fountain of Youth”.

Cost: $20 per class or $135 for 10 CONSECUTIVE classes. OR $210 for AN UNLIMITED MONTHLY CLASS PASS.

Stable posture moved by strong flexible muscles around smooth and pliable joints means you will enjoy a younger, stronger, more energetic and alert, you. Join us this week… These classes are suitable for any fitness or flexibility. It is about where your mind is as much as where your body is.

To my Precious Yoga Students..

THE EVOLUTION OF HEALTH AND FITNESS with ZEN YOGA STRETCH.

 GOOD DAY,   This is the first newsletter written and sent out by me, so really anything could happen.   It will be new to me so be patient.

 

SILENT RETREAT.

Our Sunday SILENT RETREAT was fabulous, though short on attendance, but that is getting to be “normal”.  There is so much more in the everyday that students think is more important than learning about themselves.   We will hold another as this was quite lovely –  enlightening even, and we have had enquiries to hold more.  Next time I will give you a few optional dates so you can make plans.

 

ZEN YOGA STRETCH – Yoga plus Moving meditation and deep stretching.

Zen Yoga Stretch originated by Jahne through her experience with 50 years of yoga and studies in Zen and Shaolin Zen Kung Fu, and is composed of soft, flowing movements designed to stimulate the acupuncture meridians and their associated organs. By combining visualisations, breathing patterns and physical movements, this is a highly effective, preventative health discipline, not to mention a fun routine. This has been evolving – it is not a change, just something to work towards.

 

CLASSES:

Tuesdays and Wednesdays 6.30pm and Saturday mornings at 10am at the Bentinck in Woodend.   This really is the “Fountain of Youth”.

Cost: $20 per class or $135 for 10 CONSECUTIVE classes.

OR $210 for AN UNLIMITED MONTHLY CLASS PASS.

LECTURE SERIES.  DRUGS, YOGA and SPIRITUALITY:

In the coming months I will be holding a lecture series based on my 50 years of yoga, and 10 years working in the Drug Rehabilitation community. If you are interested in coming to these lectures please indicate your interest by emailing me at yogafirst2@bigpond.com. We will be looking at how yoga, body work, relaxation, meditation, and nutrition impacts drug recovery. Makes real recovery possible.

The picture below is the first of the painting in progress. I took a number of my angel paintings (it wasn’t easy taking a scissor to my work), cut them into quilt-like squares and then worked them into a painting.  It was heart rending taking the scissors to my work,   But I think they look even more amazing now.  Wait until you see them…  If you like Klimt, shamanic images, angels metaphysical images, you will especially like these works.

 

Have a wonderful week.  Come to yoga!!!

NAMASTE.

Jahne

To my Precious Yoga Students.
THE EVOLUTION OF HEALTH AND FITNESS with ZEN YOGA STRETCH.

NOTICE: this week we have switched to a new provider, and a new Web design. The address hasn’t changed – yogabeautiful.com.au. This changeover should be as smooth as silk, but we live in an imperfect world… please let me know if you notice anything that you think needs my attention on the new website. As soon as you can, subscribe to our free newsletter. It will keep you up to date with the school and teacher training. If you get this via email, you’re already subscribed (as a student) but you can also subscribe as a trainee/teacher if appropriate.

From this newsletter, I will be in charge of the design, layout and mail out. It will be new to me so be patient.

SILENT RETREAT.

We are holding a silent retreat (Relax, just from 10.30 to 4.30) on Sunday 22nd April. Not exactly “One Hundred Days of Solitude”. The cost is $50, and a plate simple sharing food for lunch. To book, please email me at yogafirst2@bigpond.com

Click here for the Silent Retreat flyer.

A new school term is about to start, winter is on the way, and traditionally, this is the time to concentrate on yoga. Most people don’t realise that fitness is as much psychological as it is physical. To have a healthy body you need a healthy balanced mind. They go hand in hand.
