Good morning.

Yesterday evening I posted a reminder to all those among you who would like to join my SUNDAY AFTERNOON BOTANICAL ART CLASS (champagne optional).  Sunday the 9th October for four weeks, $85 for the four.  We will start by learning how to master the materials we need to use, and see where this leads us.

Please bring: Sharp 4B, 2B and HB graphite pencils, scalpel, stomps, a small piece of fine sandpaper and a small plastic pot for pencil shavings.  You will also need a A4 orA3 sketch book.  All these are available from the art shop and office shop in Kyneton or the Chinese shops in Gisborne or Woodend, and some items at the Woodend news agency.

You can pay via our web site www.yogabeautiful.com.au and click on PayviaPayPal.

There is a more ADVANCED ART CLASS ON A FRIDAY at 11am. $260 for four classes.  We will presume a certain skill in pencil and move onto colour and brushes.  You can use my materials until you know which medium is your favourite.

“ABLE2 YOGA”

This could be called Tibetan Yoga, but if I did that hardly anyone would come except those who were experienced yoga practitioners, and that is “preaching to the choir” as they say.  I am loving teaching yoga to people who haven’t ever done yoga, or have done it as a group movement class.  In my ABLE2 yoga classes we (or I) am working on quietening the inner winds – which are the key to yoga.  The first step is to open the knots, some of which were laid down at the time of our conception.

We are not quite up to chanting at our ABLE2 classes but we will go there because singing is good for our heart.  It is like putting all our good thoughts in one place and building a person, an angel out of them.  This angel the Tibetans call Chenresik which means “The Angel Which Looks Upon Us With Eyes of Love”, and more than this they believed that each Dalai Lama was in reality this Angel.

When we chant in Sanskrit it helps release the knots in our inner channels.  The sound of OM, the easiest to teach, opens us up to be more kind to others in our thoughts, our words, and our deeds.  Don’t be shy, sing out, have you class join in…. As a class you can chant om, or  when you are on your own, then repeat the name of a special person or being who has meant a lot to you in your life.  Anyone who inspires in you a feeling of heart kindness.

I WILL SEE YOU ON THE MAT.

NAMASTE – JAHNE

 

 

 

Dear Yogis,

It is the last term, and we are working on a term basis now.  It means there are no Class Passes, no punch cards, and no empty mats.

For the last month or so, I have been running a SPECIAL ART CLASS on Fridays at 11am.  This is almost coming to an end, and I am going to open it up to you all.  I would like to teach SUMI (Chinese/Japanese watercolour painting), just so you can really understand how to efficiently use brush and watercolour.   If you would like to join us, pease let me know.  I can only teach a MAXIMUM of four in my studio at the present moment.  Cost: $260 per student for 4 x two hour classes.  I can supply the materials,  and we can even use this time to make Christmas/greeting card illustrations.  No previous experience required.  

****I WILL BE AT THE ART GALLERY at MT.MACEDON (next to The trading Post)  8th and 16th October from 10am to 1pm.  Please come at these times if you would like to meet me, chat, talk about classes, see the dolls and other things from other artists… It is a beautiful little gallery.

‘ABLE2’ YOGA

I have been teaching yoga to the dis-abled (I include myself in this) for a very long time.  Addiction and recovery is teaching to the disabled, and teaching the physically and mentally challenged is the same.  We have to take each class as we find it and teach the people in the class, not the people we have read about on google.

It is called “ABLE2 YOGA” because EVERYONE can do yoga.  “Disabled” is just a word.  There are things to remember, there is a vocabulary and a physical vocabulary.  The “wins” are thrilling.  I am sure that there are teachers out there who would love to teach “ABLE2 YOGA” to a group in their community.  You could even teach in aged care.   I am going to do ZOOM CLASSES in this very special yoga.  Email me and i will give you an ID when I am ready to do.

 

SEE YOU ON THE MAT

NAMASTE – JAHNE
