EVERYTHING IS CHANGING.

……from the next term I will be redesigning the yoga space, and my yoga life.   I need a stable base, and after all these years I have to re-design my life so that i can achieve that.  You have a stable financial base I am sure, and pay as you go asana based classes are for the young at heart – they would not work for you, and at this end of my life, they don’t really work for me.

So the new, new, classes  will have a new, new point of view. I encourage you if you like my teaching and the convenience of these classes to pay a calendar month at a time, or term at a time classes.  I have flagged this before, and trust that you understand WHY I need this certainty.     As it has always said on the web page they are CONSECUTIVE CLASSES.   Some months have four weeks, and some 5, so you will be getting an extra day free here and there which I hope you will keep in mind.  I will also be doing one-on-ones.  If you are truly needy and are in circumstances that mean you can’t pay $88 for a whole months classes, then let’s talk and see what can be arranged.

If you want casual, then I will be doing classes at The Norma RichardsonHall by donation.  They will be chair yoga with meditation..

I have always been a keen meditator.  It keeps the mind the body and the spirit in good shape.  I will be offering meditation with gongs (healing sound) and mandala classes – alone and combined.  The meditation with sound will be also added to YOGA FOR DISABILITY classes.  I have noticed that students with no movement (except for minimal hand and face movements) break into smiles when meditation with sound is introduced, and our meditation times have been getting longer and longer – even the support workers want more and more.  I have introduced it slowly, and it is taking hold.

My Little Gallery and my art will be taking up the time I would have been yoga dedicated, and I hope you will drop in or go to the web pages.  www.yogabeautiful.com.au to see the yoga timetable, or www.jhwilliams.online for the art.

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.

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.
