AT THE STUDIO

YOGA CLASSES:

AS I said last week. There are heaps of changes. Mainly we have departed the Bentinck after about 6 years there, and another 4 working specifically in Rehabilitation from Substance Abuse with Innisfree (the cream of the crop with regards to rehab.)

I told you – I sent a newsletter to classroom students, I put a notice on the yoga studio door, I spoke in class, I sent out a hard copy newsletter, and still people come and say “I went to the Bentinck and it wasn’t until I spoke with …. That I found out you had departed the Bentinck!!!” They went to the Bentinck, they stood in front of the notice, but they didn’t pay any attention – and it was MY fault they had wasted their time? Please…..! Please read this newsletter and adjust your diary.

The photograph below is the Buddha I have painted purple.  After 25 years  “The Blue lady” totally shattered in the cold.  I have repainted the little sign on the plinth, and hung the Prayer Flags.  I am so thrilled about the studio and how it is looking.  We have the side entrance with the Japanese walk, tomorrow the new lighting is being organised, and everything looks amazing..  It is like I always thought it could be.  I just would like it to be a bit bigger, but maybe that is in the future.  When I was in San Francisco at The Golden Gate Yoga Studio, Chai Tea was always available at the end of class.  In Spain at our sister studio there,  everyone met for Tapas afterwards…  Tonite we have honey kombucha, gluten free polenta cake, and dried apricots and pears.  Wish you could be here.   All we need is you.  ART AND YOGA.

 

 

PAINTING CLASSES: (all materials provided).

The date of the first painting class with me was 24th July. Have you missed the first class? If you read this and want to join in please email me at yogafirst2@bigpond.com… It is not a good option, but you can join the next class.    I teach art like I teach yoga – we start with the foundations. Not only will you leave with a beautiful artwork, you will have an heirloom piece.

Go to www.jahnehopewilliams.com to see more, and email me to book your spot.  yogafirst2@bigpond.com.

TUESDAYS:   from7pm- 9pm

COST $250 for 5 classes – all materials will be provided. Start Date: 24th July (you may have missed this class – catch the next.  We already have bookings).

By the end of the class you will have a unique image to take home, and frame to put in your own meditation room. Maybe good enough, stunning enough to be an heirloom. No painting experience needed, you will need to be able to sign your own name.  If you have missed a class, please leave your name for the next.

SUMII PAINTING – SATURDAYS: 2.30 to 4.30.   This is the traditional Brush painting on rice paper. Grind the ink, use the brush, paint the painting….. Sounds easy, BUT the foundations are everything.COST: $175 for 5 classes.

I plan to organise an exhibition at REDS for those people who go through our class.  The works will be worth it – you will be worth it.

 

TEACHING TO THE REHAB. AND RECOVERY COMMUNITY

I have had some requests for this course, and I am looking at it in light of what each student needs to move forward. That being said, it will be a very individual learning and planning. Something you would not be able to access in any other course I think.   I am looking forward to passing on what I have learned, and will support these students every inch of the way. It is a hard course, but it is also a hard yoga.

THE SCHOLARSHIP: I have decided that JAALA MATHEWSON is the recipient of the scholarship. From day one she has shown her dedication and love for our way of teaching. Nothing is too much trouble, nothing is too far. She will do everything she can to be the best she can. When she did Teacher Training, it was the same. She has downloaded every book, every DVD, every teaching in order to be the best she can be.   This is a valuable scholarship – and congratulations Jaala – you have it. Thank you for other applicant. Try again next year – or when we can afford another.

 

PAINTINGS and THE FOUNDATION

The art show went well, and we even received have some donations towards the Foundation. If you were unable to come to the show, and would like to donate please direct debit any amount to The GitaJaia Yoga Foundation, Commonwealth Bank in Woodend. 063806 10200584. Any amount will help, no matter how small.

Please come to the show,  drop in to Red Restaurant next to the Commonwealth Bank in Woodend.  please buy a painting. It all goes to The Foundation.

 

TEA AND TAROT

I started doing tea leaf reading again at the Art Show. I had forgotten how much I like this connection with people. It was great fun and I will be doing more. If you would like a reading please email me and organize a time around my yoga teaching time. yogafirst2@bigpond.com

I have read tea leaves for years, (my mum, my aunts, all read tea-leaves too),  but I have slowed down over the last 12 months… I will be appearing regularly at REDS in Woodend from Sunday 12th August at 2pm.  If you want to speak to me about the art being exhibited, or come to class, or have your tea leaves done at that time – I am yours.  I am also available to read the tea leaves any other time in the week and weekend when I am not teaching.    The cost of the reading – $85 for about 40 minutes which will encompass a review and one major question.  I also use the tarot in my readings.  Which one?  My own of course – The Revelation tarot.  The photo below.  Recently I found a new printer who updated the printing technique which resulted in a gorgeous silk finish.  This printer also professionally cut the corners, which has made an amazing difference not just to the quality, but also to the time it takes me to prepare a set.

Hope to hear from you soon.  For more information about Tea Leaf Reading go to www.teaandtarot.moonfruit.com  or for any enquiries about yoga or art (or readings)  email me at yogafirst2@bigpond.com.

THIS APPLIES TO EVERYONE.

We have fallen in line with other organisations and ask people who are registered with us and wish to re-register to do at least one short course in the year as a continuing education requirement. You need to keep up. You can do one of my little courses on ETSY, or someone else’s, doesn’t have to be onerous, just something to keep you on your academic toes so to speak.

There are lots of books there to help you in your progress to graduation. If you do your course WITHOUT reading the hypermobility books, you will find your work being questioned.
