Dear Yogis,
I have been watching COSMIC FIRE on Foxtel. I wonder if you have, and whether if you have you will ever do yoga again?
These guys are such charlatans. How can they do it? For money of course!
To be a yoga teacher today isn’t easy. We have all the financial difficulties you have, and we have to deal with people who don’t show up, trainee teachers who just don’t understand that they have made an agreement to take a course and finish it, people who book classes and don’t show. It all impacts the bottom line.
Yes we are spiritual, but we don’t have a huge organisation keeping the doors open like the Catholic Church does for instance, or Yogi Bhajan – he even dreamed up and funded a security guard organisation he leased out all over the world, he sold foods, clothing, He had at least 16 different known organisations (all with their own “empires” and 16 secretaries) all with merchandise under his name. Yoga was just a door opener.
The classical, real yoga (the yoga we do) is 4,500 or so years old. Kundalini Yoga is an idea that Yogi Bhajan had and it worked. We use some of his breath work, but use none of his other mind and body control nonsense. Wim Hoff has borrowed from Kundalini too…
TAROT WORKSHOP: I am going to hold a studio class on the 16th November right here. TAROT READING FOR BEGINNERS. I am working towards you actually being able to do a short reading for others at the end of this class. We will focus on the major arcana which is a great place to start (or stay). You can read a deck with just these cards, before you expand to the minors, or any other deck or oracle you prefer once you have the basics – even the Angel oracle (depending on the day and how you feel – make your own rules). If you are interested please email me yogafirst2@bigpond.com
If you want a short, 1 card reading from now until The beginning of December you can have one VIA EMAIL for $25. If you want one, just pre-pay on PAYPAL www.yogabeautiful.com.au and click on Pay via PAYPAL. I will try to send you reading in two days. Email me your question and your birthdate so I can do some numerology too..
MY YOGA classes are as usual – the tarot fits alongside (as yours probably does). THANK YOU for those who registered …it is an annual responsibility and we rely on you. You make it possible for us to do what we do.
