Dear Yogis,

THE YOGA CLASSES – please book before you arrive.  They are small classes and one unplanned extra may not be able to join

Remember when I was wondering whether anyone was out there reading this newsletter – well, a number of times this weekend, people have actually reached out to me to assure me that they not only read it, it is special to them – so I will keep on writing.  I had a friend called URANDA who gave his “lessons” (Seven Steps to the Temple of Divine Light)  to his horse, and for TEN YEARS only the horse came to class.  One day a “real” student (Lord Cecil) happened to drop in and was so impressed and had so many contacts he shared Uranda’s message with,  that 5o years on it is still being heard by people around the globe.

DOWNSIZING YOUR WARDROBE….

We all want to make a difference to the environment while looking great. There are a number of paths you can take….but whichever you choose  you need reduce consumption and make considered choices. The main problem is that we live in a maze of advertising which can make you feel overwhelmed and distrustful.

I believe everyone deserves to buy sustainably with confidence, however, especially after the covid disruptions, I understand that you might not know where to start, keeping in mind I can help you to care for your knitwear to make it last with style.

Here’s how you can do it:

1. Choose what you need: invest with care, and mend – don’t throw away (giving only the excess to the op shops)
2. Take pride in wearing your colourful, mended garments again and again.The photo is of one of my more “pictorial” darns.
3. Darns are a symbol of pride in a garment and signal that this item of clothing is too precious to discard..  You can post precious items to me which need attention.  To get a quote, Email with a photo and we can discuss.  yogafirst2@bigpond.com.

Dear Yogis,

For the next few days I will be going from one thing to another, working, working – no time for play (thank goodness doll/sewing time is somewhere in there)

Tonite is our Free ZOOM DOLL SESSIONS.  You don’t have to make a doll, you will see my dolls, how I make them, any difficulties, how to make for groups etc… plus a question and answer session.  I look forward to seeing you.  It may go for an hour, more than an hour – whatever, it is up to you.  It maybe something we can do on a regular basis.  One of the things that has been most pleasing to me is how SHARING the sewing/craft community is.  The art community rarely is.  Craft people share equipment and materials and skills, and I have been so pleased to be the recipient of that community feeling, and always try for an exchange.  Yesterday for instance I was given the most beautiful wedding/evening fabrics for my dolls and bears, and a most beautiful Japanese Hanfu mens formal coat.  It is quite damaged so I am mending it, as best I can so it can be used.  It is not a women’s kimono for daily wear, too heavy for that, and once mended I will wear it as a coat
for a while (or for a very long while – I love it), plus there will be a bit of excess cloth that I can use for a bear or a doll.

KIDS NINJA
Do you want to teach your children yoga, at a kindergarten or professionally at your yoga studio, I am reworking our on-line course to meet todays needs.  You will be able to download the 10 modules, and with an exam at the end you will have a certificate of attainment.  I think it will fit in more with what yoga requires of us today.  I will let you know as soon as it is on line.

IT’S ON TONITE

Good morning yogis,

Just a reminder of what is coming up.  

I am loving my yoga with kids, those students recovering from trauma, and teaching yoga teachers.

I have applied to have our YOGA TEACHER TRAINING FOR KIDS accepted as a continuing education 30 hour certificate for yoga teachers. The children’s yoga course (KIDS NINJA)  does not have any assignments, and just has a final exam at the end of the course. This children’s yoga course is  counted toward continuing education points required for registration, and can be used as an elective in your yoga teachers course – or completed just to increase your knowledge, and skill base.

It is a course that you can complete after you’ve first done a 250 hour yoga teacher training program (not necessarily ours).  There are 10 modules with no compulsory assignments, zoom classes,  and an exam at the end.  There is an overview of the actual curriculum, if you’d like to have a quick look email me and I will forward it to you.  yogafirst2@bigpond.com
