Dear Yogis,

GIFT OF WOOD (2.5metres).  One of our Studio Clients has donated a trailer load of fire wood to The Anglican Church to be raffled to bolster the fund used to fund me in my teaching of yoga to Windarring.   You will be able to buy tickets from the Church stall outside the Woodend Newsagency, and I have some….You have got to be in it to win it.

I have a lot lined up for the new term, BUT, today, I am keeping it all under my hat so to speak.  We are limping – well, you are limping… to the new term, or maybe through your lives.  Mine is pretty exciting.

YOGA CLASSES AND STUDIO TIMES…..

We will be closing for a week during the school holidays – 1st to 8th July.  I have rarely done this, but I need to make changes and I can’t do that and mind everything else at the same time – finish commissions, tidy up, make a few changes, tidy the garden and so on. I have been speaking with a few of you and you are still planning travels after covid.. just to go to new places.  I don’t understand that.  I don’t need to escape to anywhere.

ZOOM CLASS :   It is Monday and you will have questions relative to this STRUCTURAL YOGA THERAPY module which is one of the largest in the course.  It could take you a month to finish this one module.  Please send me a number of questions you want answered about this module.  5 questions will I think,  be enough from each of you.  Those I don’t have time to answer at zoom, I will email.  We started last week and are half way through the module – it was very interesting to revisit this very important part of the course.

Windarring Yoga –  Tues. 1pm .  (Tuesday AM in Gisborne starting in the new term).

Dear Yogis,

Not so cold this morning? No snow?  August is usually the month for snow, but it has seemed cold and damp enough.

THE WOODEND WINTER ARTS FESTIVAL is on this weekend.  I will be at The Mt.Macedon Gallery on Saturday morning from 10am to 1pm if you can wander up the mount to meet me.  I have a few examples of my encaustic work when i should be home doing more.  You can of course ask for a portrait to be made – no need to sit, just send me a number of good photographs via email and I will go from there.   You might have the need for a portrait of a loved pet (I am finishing one of my cat Gracie) , a husband, wife, daughter.  Because they don’t need to sit, it could be of a person who has passed.

The portrait in the photo to the left is of course of myself….On a background of tea bags and a mosaic of an angel print (size 40cm x 40cms) . The portrait on the right is The Girl With The Pearl Earring by Vermeer.  It is a favourite portrait, so I copied it for myself using my favourite photo transfer and encaustic technique.  But it could be you or a loved on in the picture.  This portrait is on a 8inch x 8inch canvas panel with wax protective coating…  Painted and posted to you the cost will be $175 for one, or $320 for two.

YOGA.  There is lots happening on the yoga front (apart from me getting dates mixed between June and July – where did the time go!!!) Just have a look at the dates and times below.  There is something for everyone.

GIFT OF WOOD.  One of our Studio Clients has donated a trailer load of fire wood to The Anglican Church to be raffled to bolster the fund used to fund me in my teaching of yoga to Windarring.  I will let you know when the raffle starts.  You will be able to buy tickets from the Church stall outside the Woodend Newsagency.  You have got to be in it to win it.

NAMASTE .  JAHNE

Dear Yogis,

As a yoga school, as a town (Woodend), and even as a world, things are happening thick and fast – enough that we have to think about our position.  We have a new fitness destination opening in the town next week.  I went in Saturday morning.   I thought that they might have a facility like Virgin Fitness in Bourke and Collins Street in Melbourne (and New York and, and), but no,  This is SNAP Fitness, made for gym junkies, and at the moment totally questionable for a more meditative style of anything.

Virgin Fitness has meditation “cones”, and a quiet, lovely yoga/pilates room which is just made to make you feel calmer, stronger without the blaring music or the smell of rubber and metal.  At SNAP I was directed to a person called Josh who was said to be the yoga teacher.  He was friendly, charming and forthcoming.  He  isn’t trained in yoga or pilates although he knows about it and does “adapt” it to his style.  SNAP is a real gym with a real smell of paint and rubber, and the possible yoga room is an adapted room which will still contain gym equipment.

I dropped into the IGA on the way home and got to talking with Cathy an early scholarship holder who trained originally through us.  She is going on a holiday and will be teaching strong Vinyasa flow at SNAP when she returns.  This is a good match.  She is a really STRONG teacher.  So if you are hanging out for this, she is the teacher to go to – Trained, Registered and Insured.  Check who is going to be teaching you.  That logo above, is ours – we are trained, registered, accredited, insured – the whole nine yards..  our graduates teach all over the world.

YOGA FOR DISABILITY ***HALF SCHOLARSHIP:  I would be happy to give a YOGA FOR DISABILITY HALF scholarship to a student in “straightened circumstances”  who would be able to do every DISABILITY zoom class  with us – no excuses.  ***Someone who has not yet applied.  If you can do these classes each Wednesday (5 consecutive starting the second week in June), and hopefully the Monday too, please apply.  Email me and I will go from there.

 

I am going to be teaching at the Norma Richardson Hall in the new term.  I start on Wednesday the 17th July at 10.30 – YOGA FOR WALKERS AND WHEELIES.  It will be by donation.  Please let me know if you or someone you know may be interested.  There will be NOTHING done on the floor, everything on a chair, or standing or in your chair.  Whatever they are comfortable with.

As I have said, the Church has given me a grant to enable me to teach extra Windarring classes.  One of our clients has offered a trailer load of wood for them to raffle and raise more money which will equal more classes…  You will be able to buy tickets outside the Woodend Newsagency at the Church Stall the Second Saturday in June.

 

ICE CREAM RECIPE – I like ice-cream all the year round.  It has been ages since I dropped in a recipe, and here is a favourite.

I like ice cream all the year round, but I don’t like buying big tubs because they tempt one to eat more than needed, individual ice creams on a stick are too expensive, and anyway – how does one know it is made with “real milk”, or real anything.  Here is a SIMPLE recipe with only 3 ingredients.  Equal measure of 1. condensed milk 2. cream and 3. yoghurt.  Whip and freeze.  Take out of the fridge about 10-15 minutes before you need to use it as it does freeze hard.  This is gorgeous, perfect, no crystals and you can know what is in your ice-cream.

ART.  You may think I haven’t been painting, creating but I have.  I have an exhibition in September and I have decided to focus on “FACES OF THE MOUNT”.  Portraits of people (creative people) who have been movers and shakers in the creative life on the mount.  If you can think of someone you would like me to feature, let me know.
