How do you like the new logo?  In designing it this way I hope to imply that HEMP is a lifestyle issue which links with yoga.  (It is not MARIJUANA and you won’t get high – I thought I would re-iterate that).  Hemp is a highly nutritious food supplement with a complete complement of Omegas and Protein.  You cannot get high from hemp.. and it can help rebuild your body at every level by building the endocannabinoid system.    To learn more and get some recipes.  Please go to www.myyogabooks.etsy.com and download GET HEALTHY WITH HEMP.   

IDEAS FROM MY DESK:  It occurred to me that the only place where “luck” comes before “work” is in the dictionary, and moving with this new idea takes work.  Introducing any new idea takes work.  I love the history of hemp, and am spending a lot of time each day to learn how it can help us to improve our lifestyles on every level.  As a business I have always operated from an entirely different perspective than most companies, yoga or otherwise.  I have always responded to need rather than creating them.

To me, the desire to have control over my own life, regardless of the politics operating in my community or country I see as very much part of the human spirit in all of us.  What I realised over time that being a yoga teacher and doing all it implied,  opened the doors to my heart.  I have always tried to inspire you all, to show you that working life can be a pleasure instead of a dreaded thing, exciting.   I do this mostly by education.  By encouraging you all to stretch your abilities and certainly to challenge your imaginations.  I am very interested in minds.

I think that a few fundamental beliefs have empowered me..

  1. That you have to have fun at your “job” your yoga at whatever level you are comfortable with
  2. That if your work is yoga, that is where you should put your love
  3. That where possible you have to go in the opposite direction to everyone else – do it differently

Add to this that I have an holistic view of my business.  I do not focus on profit (although we all have to live), I try to be a force for good, and work for the welfare of my students, for my community, and ultimately for the future of the planet.  Sure I make mistakes, we all do, but I keep going in the direction of my dreams.  I am making every effort and using most of my time to educate people and help them reach their full potential.  It is not enough to make a financial profit – we must also make a spiritual profit.

TEACHER TRAINING

The teacher training session we had on Sunday was fantastic – truly a masterclass.  Thank you to everyone who came along.  The first session didn’t have as many attendees as I thought it might, however, those at session one and two asked for a HEMP COOKERY CLASS.  How to make the goodies I brought for the students to nibble.  I do have a recipe book on the yogabooks website under ‘HEALTHY AS…” which includes a number of easy recipes for cookies, dips etc.  But a class would be so much fun.  I don’t think I know as many adjectives as Nigella, but i could wing-it!

I will organise this, and let you know as soon as a date and time are sorted.  Luckily, my kitchen dining area though small is most suitable.

With the classes in mind, I will be “tarting up my garden” .  I am preparing for spring – and I still will be relying on the herbs and leaves I can pick for the classes.  Cassius, the new owner at The Woodend Nursery is helping enormously with good advice and unusual plants for our cookery classes.   Do drop in and say hi if you are a local – I wouldn’t go elsewhere, he is so helpful.

“Royal Hemp” will be sponsoring us in the cookery classes.  They are a great brand, but may be a bit hard to source, or you can buy on line.  I like the extensive details and terrific labelling they have.  Some brands are very vague about what the nutritional value of the hemp they sell actually is. Not so Royal Hemp.  If you work in the Melbourne CBD or close to, Evelyn Faye Health Food shop opposite the old GPO stock it.  Look them up on Google before you drop in as they are not easy to find being a basement situation.

 

SCHOOL HOLS:  are almost finished.  The first class for the new term is this Saturday, the 10am and 12.30 classes as usual.

 

PHONE CONSULTATIONS:  Now is a fabulous time if you would like to book a phone call with me.  You might like to ask about hemp, or CBD oil – they seem to be on everyones’ mind at the moment.  We can explore your yoga business, expanding your studio, expanding your practice or asana /philosophy concerns –  I am looking forward to hearing from you. There is a cost, it is a consultation: $85 for an hour.

 

MASSAGE:  I love anything hands-on, and now I have the hemp, I will be using the creams and balms in my massage consultations.  I know how they have worked with me, and I know they will work with you.

DON’T FORGET THE MASSAGE COURSE COMING UP IN AUGUST – we do have some students who have booked in. Tuesday evenings 7pm to 9pm.  Let me know if you are interested.

REALLY HELPFUL BOOKS: ETSY, ETSY www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

I write books to help you. What will you find on ETSY? YAMAS, CHAKRAS, HYPERMOBILITY, THE FIVE TIBETANS AND TEMPLATES and more.  There are lots of books there to help you in your progress with yoga.

 

HYPERMOBILITY (the course)  The new course is on the ETSY site.  www.myyogabooks.etsy.com.

Watch my FREE UTUBE CHANNEL.  It is amazing how Hypermobility and the endocannabinoid system fit together. Please watch the youtube channel, or get the hew books on ETSY.

 

RESTORATIVE (REMEDIAL) YOGA. 

The “strawberries and cream” of yoga.

More Restorative (Remedial) classes.  Look at the web site for dates and times. I am building and building on this…  It is what passionately interests me as it links with hypermobility and now, HEMP.

 

Why Register with THE AUSTRALASIAN YOGA INSTITUTE? 

THIS IS IMPORTANT.

We are your lineage.  You can pretend, you can take cheaper options, you can use all kinds of rationalization BUT WE ARE YOUR LINEAGE, your yoga family.  No-one else can be.   PLEASE, PLEASE CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION.  You need to be currently registered AT THE LEVEL AT WHICH YOU ARE NOW – STUDENT OR GRADUATE for your insurance to be valid, and you will need to supply a copy of a valid registration to be insured.  If you insure as a graduate when you are still a student it may cause problems if there ever was a claim – it is possible you may not be insured because you didn’t tell the truth about your qualification.    You also need to forward a current first aidcertificate with your application and CPE when necessary (see below)

 

Please check your insurance requirements – keep up to date. We have moved to AON insurance.  You will be able to insure on-line BUT you will need a current (student or graduate) Registration to prove you are a member with us to get the advantages that a big firm like AON can offer.

 

CPE:  To bring us in line with INTERNATIONAL requirements rather than just Australian, we will only be requiring you to do your CPE every 3 years, do it round about the same time you do your first aid which is also a 3 year requirement.

 

REALLY HELPFUL BOOKS:

ETSY, ETSY www.myyogabooks.etsy.com
