Dear Yogis,
Before we start, let me take this opportunity to thank all my students and readers for a fabulous year (really) and the possibility of a great New Year. I hope your karma is returning to you all the wonderful things you have done for others this year, with wonderful things done for you – especially if you were not expecting them…
GALLERIES AND ARTWORK: This year you can find my work at *MT.MACEDON GALLERY, next to the Trading Post (go down the lane). I will also be at *DROMKEEN in Riddells Creek – when you get to Riddells creek keep going – it is well signposted and you will enjoy seeing the homestead (you can even camp there). They are the home of Australian Children’s Literature illustrations (“Possum Magic” etc), plus the perfect High Tea on Sundays.
NEW VENUE – My art is now at ART ON PIPER and of course on Instagram. You could also come and chat – about yoga, art and “Gush”.
“GUSH” – YOGA FOR INCONTINENCE; You probably gave no thought to incontinence pads you buy for yourself or others, or the menstrual pads you may use for yourself. They are causing a HUGE environmental problem. Ten times as many adult pads compared to childrens pads and nappies are sold, and we keep on buying and the pile at the landfill gets bigger and bigger. The cost to the buyer is growing, but some feel there is no option THERE IS – Make your own!!!
I have been slaving over patterns this Christmas, some worked, some didn’t. I have settled on a lovely easy to manage pad shape, and I make them in cotton and also in silk where the pad sits against the skin. If you have to wear pads, at least they will be lovely. I have not ventured into the incontinence pants yet, but if I did, they also would be silk. You should always have the possibility of BEAUTIFUL.
Sometimes getting the pad fitted to your shape is important – we can do that. Also getting the yoga exercises (only 4) that are hugely important organised in your mind, can also be done one on one. Make an appointment and come to the studio and we shall see what we shall see.
To learn more about PELVIC HEALTH and YOGA FOR PELVIC HEALTH, Incontinence, Erectile Dysfunction please make a note of our new zoom class starting on Friday the 16th January at 6.30 There is a charge $88 for 4 zoom classes. The council is running a workshop in April, you may be able to get along to it – I will keep you informed. In the meanwhile, we will be doing our bit, even helping you make your own REUSABLE pads.

NAMASTE – JAHNE
Its go-go-go this Christmas – everyday my students have suprised me with lovely cakes and nibbles. Less cakes and nibbles would probably have been better for the waistband, but I tell myself it is only once a year.
