Dear Yogis,

I am working on my book today – as I said it is “top of mind”.  

I hope that you are thinking of YOGA AND DISABILITY.  I am moving towards getting a Provider Number from NDIS to go with my ID.  A matching set!  This will mean that we can work together.

After you have done your DISABILITY training with me which will be mandatory in order to work with me, you will work with your own clients, under my banner (The Australasian Yoga Institute).  I will charge the NDIS for your services and pay you.  This could be one-on-one or classes, in just the same way that Windarring and I work together – they contract me to teach classes, they charge the NDIS and then they pay me.  Interested?  It is the “new way”.

Thinking about how many used to come to our studio teacher trainings, I will start with just 10 students… and we will work together to take advantage of this fabulous opportunity. I am giving my students the first entry, and then I will move outwards into the community and invite students to join me who are interested and have a passion for the work.

When you think that MS is rising in Australia by 30% this year, and there are many “Windarrings” with no yoga teacher, and there are probably many in your community even in gyms who could do with some help with movement (and fun), you will rarely be out of a job, and you will be more in control of your income..  If you like working in gyms there are people going to gyms in their wheelies and wheelchairs who need you, there are people in Disability day-centres and overnight care, there are people at home…  Your choice, you could work where you like.  

If you are interested please email me: yogafirst2@bigpond.com

Dear Yogis,

On Thursday I went to the new Alexander McQueen exhibition at the NGV with my son Jesse and his wife Alana (they invited me – rather than the other way around – we all love the art of fashion).  I love fashion and this was a marvellous exhibition.  Do go see it.

I hold the Valentino exhibition in Queensland to be the best fashion show that I have ever seen, and this ran a very close second.  I was interested to see how he took ideas from other designers – especially Vivienne Westwood, and of course the marvellous Diana Vreeland.

(Jesse is visiting from Vancouver, and I have also been able to meet Miles the latest addition to the family).

 

YOGA FOR DISABILITY COURSE

I have got the course together  and am ready to give you the thumbs up…  The HOW-TO was finished today and if you want to see it, email me. and I will send it to you.   We are all wanting to expand our studios and earn a more reliable income and this is the way.  Maybe you are all independently wealthy! I am not…When designing a course that reflects this community,  I look for stability, consistency and consistency of income.  Are you listening?

No-one else is doing a course, or concentrating on the Disabled community (except in India, where there is one teacher that I know about).  We are PIONEERS (again) working towards being able not just to teach but also to train.

Looking at the course, and the price.  I am including Compassionate Companion Graduates as well as our yoga teachers – they will all get a special price for the course, also teacher trainees who have not finished their exam (or course) as will graduates.  Whatever the cost of the course, I am considering the following discounts – COMPASSIONATE COMPANIONS 20%, TEACHER TRAINEES20% – GRADUATES 25%.

To be recognised, You will need to train, then register, and registration will be the same cost for everyone $75 for one year. It will not be added on to your usual yoga teacher training registration, although if you register and pay for both at the same time you will get a discounted price ($165).  You will get two certificates, not one.  You will be able to add Disability Yoga to the yoga teacher training insurance with AON at no extra charge as far as I can tell.

ZOOM – DISABILITY YOGA INFORMATION SESSION. 2.30 Saturday 4th March.  Please email me for your Zoom ID.

Dear Yogis,

I am having my solar system installed next week.  It is something I have been dithering about for some time.  I was quoted huge amounts,  and at my age, I wondered if it was useful and if I would ever get the investment back?

Then I heard of “OZ SOLAR” from some of my clients and students.  Their system which is more powerful than one I was quoted $20,000 for,  is $3,300.  That is correct, not a typing error.  I paid $3,300 for it.  I got my ex who is an international lawyer to do the due diligence.  He thought I was nuts, but after he explored the nooks and crannies of the company bought a system (maybe 2) for himself.  They are an easy company to deal with, and if you would like to follow it up (Oz Solar Energy Solutions.com), they have heaps of great reviews, and here is the contact… jennifer@ozsolarenergysolutions.com.au

I figured that if it works I am way ahead, and if I don’t get a huge return, then it is not a huge outlay.  Helping the planet without breaking the bank.
