YOGA NEWSLETTER 13th October 2017

THE AUSTRALASIAN YOGA INSTITUTE IS MISSION DRIVEN AND MEMBER SUPPORTED.  BECOME A REGISTERED MEMBER TODAY.

THOUGHTS FOR TODAY
  The thoughts for today are on Death and Dying. Not that I am planning to leave soon, but we are all temporary. I am happy to be left alone in the dying process. I certainly don’t want the weeping and wailing contingent and I would prefer an outdoor funeral pyre, although that is not possible in Australia. However, most people don’t even think of death, and behave as if it is not coming.

Exploration of this subject has always fascinated me, and I am about to deliver a shortish on line course on this subject with topics such as *Death’s Place in our Lives, * Death Rituals, * Approaches to Dying Well, * Killing and the Challenge of the Yamas, * Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhist attitudes, * The Pursuit of Immortality etc.

I will let you know when this is on ETSY. On completion you will get a Certificate qualifying you as a COMPASSIONATE COMPANION, someone who may be called to sit with the ill or dying. There are many lonely people in the world who would value these services, and some students for whom this may become a valuable part of their yoga (and life) experience. If you would be interested let me know. I am interested and it will be done.

(Yes, it can be done as part of the new Continuing Education Requirement – see below)   AFFILIATES and those who would like to be. Thank you to those who responded… If you would like to Affiliate and start teaching teachers (you need to have graduated), then please email me and we will arrange a visit – or a chat depending on where you are of course
EMAIL:

Please use the email address yogafirst@optusnet.com.au for anything to do with accounts, or the usual yogafirst2@bigpond.com. To get to me. If you do want to speak to me personally, then email, make a time suitable for both of us, and then we can chat. If you do it this way, rather than just “wing it”, you can be reasonably sure I have time, and you will get my attention. POSTAL ADDRESS is not at my home – small mail box out in the open means that rain is an issue. Please address all land mail to the address it has always been – PO Box 14, Mt.Macedon. Vic. 3441. Until you see a change written here in large letters, that is where it will be.
PHONE:
I have a new landline. 0354 274 383. But I prefer that you leave a TEXT for me on0402 088 170. (or email me directly at yogafirst2@bigpond.com) Thank you.

HYPERMOBILITY AGAIN.   The book and the DVD are available via ETSYwww.myyogabooks.etsy.com The more that I do in this field, and the more that I think about it, the more relevant it becomes to all of you. The new Practitioners Magazine “YOGA FIRST” on ETSY. Please download – the more of you that do, the more happy I get and the more words I will write.   PPT MASSAGE COURSE
  This is a fabulous “extra” that is suitable for children adults or the elderly , and they don’t have to get undressed! It is all about energy, CSF, and dovetails beautifully with our new research.


HOW: A full day workshop at the Studio in Woodend, Plus home study for those who do not have prior skills or experience.

WHEN: Sunday 22nd October. 9 am to 5pm.

COST: $375 for our Yoga teacher trainees (a refresher perhaps?), $575 for those with prior experience but not with us, and $1,325 for those with no previous trainings (this course for these students incudes home study as well as the workshop)
WHERE: The Studio, 37 Morris Road, Woodend.


ANYTIME PARKING – Park your car either on the white gravel around the front of the studio, or if this is full, then there is an empty drive and front yard leading to a shed directly opposite us. Park there and in a way that others can too. Don’t just abandon your car in any driveway, nature strip or the road. There is no need to park way up the hill, though you can if you want to.
INSURANCE
  PLEASE NOTE: If you are not teaching then there is no need for insurance. If you are teaching then you will need to be registered, and get insurance.

INSURANCE ALTERNATIVES. We are no longer closely involved with our teachers with regards to insurance…. AJGallagher seems to be the only one who will insure students who have not graduated but are teaching. I am looking at Dancesurance. They appear to insure students (trainees not yet graduated) cheaply, and, if you have a studio, they are really the only ones who insure this with understanding. Cost for Studio insurance? $276pa. No matter who you use. If you are a student MAKE YOUR STATUS CLEAR, if you don’t, and need to make a claim, you may discover (too late) that you are not covered.

Why Register with THE AUSTRALASIAN YOGA INSTITUTE?

PLEASE, PLEASE CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION. You need to be currently registered for your insurance to be valid. Please check your insurance requirements – keep up to date. They change quickly.

CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENT

From NEXT MONTH, we are going to fall in line with other organisations and ask people who are registered with us and wish to re-register to do at least one short course in the year as a continuing education requirement. I have been shocked by what teachers THINK they know, and teach from there. You need to keep up. You can do one of my little courses on ETSY, or someone elses, doesn’t have to be onerous, just something to keep you on your academic toes so to speak.

RESTORATIVE YOGA THERAPY

Level 3 Workshop was on Sunday before last. It comprised theory and practical work (PPT Massage). To complete Level.3. the students need to apply and do the theory and exam. Those at the workshop have the requirements. They saved both time and money by having me assess their ability one-on-one. Those who have not done Teacher Training with me, need to do the full level 3 Exam and assessment. This is what the balance of payment is for – see the site www.restore.moonfruit.com. You may not pass the assessment first go. It is like teacher training. Module by module. Fewer modules, but more complex (for both of us).

THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

The weather has been spectacular here. It is why we live here – the amazing spring, the cooler summers. This picture above is the wisteria on my verandah. The bees are just loving it, and the hum is loud as they go about their job. It is why the wisteria is a lush as it is. Every year it gets better as the bees do their work.

I will have a lot of honey I think when we next clear the hive. Last year we got much more than I expected, there seemed to be a load every time we went to the hive. I don’t spin the honey or remove the wax, or filter the honey – so what we get and what we use is absolutely pure. After years of make do and mend, half of our frames need replacing. We are in the process of doing that getting ready for the next run when flowers are fully out, and the bees working hard laying down a winter stock. I do leave them plenty to go on with.

The PPT Massage Refresher we did on Sunday focused on outside rather than inside the room too. We looked at herbs, and herbal essences, and how to bring them to our practice of Restorative Yoga therapy. Once you expand your thinking in this way you are really doing Restorative Yoga Therapy in the way that I intended it to be.

To assist you in this I am nearly finished my next (client driven) booklet. THE YOGA OF HERBS. To become a teacher and speaker about herbs is to become a channel of herb energy, becoming sensitive to the herbs.. One needs to communicate with the plant and see it as a teacher, in this way the Yoga is known.   AFFILIATES and those who would like to be. Thank you to those who responded… If you would like to Affiliate and start teaching teachers (you need to have graduated), then please email me and we will arrange a visit – or a chat depending on where you are of course. If you have a studio, it’s your next step.

Until you see a change written here in large letters, that is where it will be.

PLEASE COLLECT YOUR MAIL….

If you are waiting for a Registration, a largish package or an unusual shaped package from us and you only have a small mailbox with a small opening please make sure you visit you local Post Office with your COLLECTION SLIP in hand. We have had a cross customer or two in the last few month and it turns out that the post office held their items for almost two weeks waiting for collection. They were sent back to us. This incurs double postage – nothing you will want to do with today’s postal charges.

RESTORATIVE YOGA THERAPY INSURANCE: Dancesurance have come through with a specialist insurance for our Restorative Yoga Therapy graduates. They can add this special insurance on to their ordinary insurance Dancesurance AT NO EXTRA COST. They have examined the course, they have looked at the caliber of the students going through, and made their decision. All you need to do is to supply a copy of your registration when you apply.

We worked hard to get to this point – but it is much better than I could have expected. So thank you Dancesurance. (Students – You can deal with them direct). A: 425 Burwood Hwy, Wantirna South Vic 3152

I sat at the desk, and started filling in an idea I had for a poster, and here it is. I had done some sketches previously, but the finished product is much better than I expected probably because I was just doodling and never expected it to turn into anything. I will get it copied on beautiful paper, and printed in sepia. Not really suitable for a download… although if you wanted A4 black and white, then I could do it for you. As usual go to www.myyogabooks.etsy.com Not there yet, but it will be this afternoon or tomorrow. There is the PENDULUM POSTER/BOARD already loaded on ETSY. This looks amazing under glass, the TEA LEAF READING POSTER almost there, and the next one in my head is THE I-CHING PENDULUM POSTER/BOARD. I can’t wait for that one to emerge.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

“Somebody just shared his knowledge with me and by the grace of God, I collected it. We are in a desert, and I have a little water with me that I want to share with people. Does that make me a water man? Am I the rain? Am I the clouds? Am I the ocean? No. I am just a little can of water in the desert to which people can touch their lips and think of surviving. Beyond that, I am nothing.” (Yogi Bhajan)

TEACHER TRAINING CLASS and etc..

No time for frivolity today. We had a wonderful Teacher Training class on Sunday. It went half an hour overtime and even longer for the few hangers-on (which is always a good sign). I am sorry that so many missed the class everyone there contributed and we problem solved around yoga, HJMS and personality types. It was great.

Why is it that some people feel compelled to be late to class. Is it that there is just no importance placed on time. The feeling that time, and when you turn up for class is not important – that just turning up is validation enough. There are those who are always on time or early and those who are always late (or absent after saying they will be there).

Please note: Arriving late to anything at any time – not just to class, or promising to do something and then not doing it – is stealing from yourself as well as from others(read your yamas).

Please get your friends and students to sign up for the newsletter – we have more readers in England than we have in Australia. Funny that! So thank you for being a reader. Please read right through and notice that we have all our books on ETSY, and on our Web Site we sell soft cover books, straps, props and CD’s (even alfalfa powder and collagen), you could actually save money.

THE MODULES

If you are new to doing the modules, please be patient with yourself and with me. As we say from day one, this is not a ‘tick this box” sort of course. It can be difficult, and I will send work back if that is needed. It does not mean that you have failed, or that I think you or the work is not up to it. It means…. “have another look at this, do a bit more research, and try again”. It is the only way that we can communicate as teacher and student unless you come to class, or email me if you are having difficulty, so it is important. Be easy on yourself (and me). You have lots of time to get it right.

EMAIL:

Please use the email address yogafirst@optusnet.com.au for anything to do with accounts, or the usual yogafirst2@bigpond.com. To get to me. If you do want to speak to me personally, then email, make a time suitable for both of us, and then we can chat. If you do it this way, rather than just “wing it”, you can be reasonably sure I have time, and you will get my attention. POSTAL ADDRESS is not at my home – small mail box out in the open means that rain is an issue. Please address all land mail to the address it has always been – PO Box 14, Mt.Macedon. Vic. 3441. Until you see a change written here in large letters, that is where it will be.

PHONE:

Thanks to NBN I still don’t have landline. I am still struggling with TELSTRA, and still I have the Internet but I have no phone. So, if you want to get me, then please TEXT me on 0402 088 170. I notice that Telstra and NBN have taken out a huge amount of advertising – don’t be lulled into a sense of false security. It is not easy, and no-one I know is better off with it than they were before.

HYPERMOBILITY

The book and the DVD are available via ETSYwww.myyogabooks.etsy.com I now have interest in our research from a Medical Centre/Spa in ShriLanka (I would love to visit), various MD’s around Melbourne, and England. I hope that you have the 23rd September written in your diary. That is the day that we will be giving a talk at the Theosphical Society in Melbourne. Restorative Yoga Therapy – Level 3 RESTORATIVE LEVEL 3

Please keep in mind that RYTA200, level 1 and 2 need to be done BEFORE level 3. The workshop timetable which includes LEVEL 3 attached above. 

These levels all contribute towards helping you to be a better therapist. If you have not almost completed the teacher training course then you won’t have the anatomical and philosophical vocabulary to understand what we are doing. So work on your course, do the Restorative level 1 and 2, and keep this in mind for the next step. Come to my talks, and book for a workshop with me. Or book for a one-on-one to see how I work.

HYPERMOBILITY

The Theosophical Society has asked me to give a talk on hypermobility in Melbourne on the 23rd of September. YOGA AUSTRALIA has asked me to talk on hypermobility in Melbourne in February? Or the YA Conference in March. I believe that this is essential in your yoga teaching. So you can catch me in September at the Theosophical Society Theatrette, or, you can keep watching this space to find out other dates and times. There is growing excitement around that we are doing, not just from our senior teachers, and those persons who follow our research in this are. 

The book and the DVD are on www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

INSURANCE

From the 1st July there have been changes. I am working to make it a positive step. The insurance company will be looking after the insurances totally . Watch this space. Registration will be mandatory if you want insurance, and will be given at STUDENT or GRADUATE level. This will reflect on your insurance policy. The cost of the insurance will also change, but I don’t quite know how or to what extent yet. Watch this space.

We based the course on graduating students in an average of 18 months to two years. Keeping this in mind we thought (because you would not be teaching until you finished the course) you would not need insurance for those two years, so we gave you the first 12 months insurance and registration free, and ditto for the second – if you were not yet teaching. . However, this is changing as more people who are teaching already are joining our course to get registered and insured. If you are not teaching then you don’t need to be insured, and you will be registered when you graduate.

If you do start teaching whilst you are still working on the course, then you will need STUDENT REGISTRATION in order to get STUDENT INSURANCE. These are an extra cost and you should factor them in, as you must also factor in your videos which are also a yearly subscription. The first year is paid for in your fee, but from thereon it is up to you to renew. This is not an unusual ask.

WE do not hide the fact, however, when I ask you to read the applications and other information SLOWLY, we anticipate that you have done that, and won’t be surprised. Keep in mind that we are providing the skills for a career for around $3,000. That is extraordinary. A charge for Registration and Insurance and $275 for a yearly video subscription is nothing in the light of that. ALTERNATIVES. AJGallagher seems to be the only one who will insure students who have not graduated but are teaching. I am looking at Dancesurance. They appear to insure students cheaply, and, if you have a studio, they are really the only ones who insure this with understanding. Cost? $276pa.   

Why Register with THE AUSTRALASIAN YOGA INSTITUTE?
Please read this….

Thank you all the students who have responded to this call. Registration says you are a member of our school (and proud to be so), and at the very least the income received from the cost of registration allows us to give out scholarships, and help others in their desire to teach. It is not mandatory, but it is recommended, and we encourage you to do it. How do you support and encourage your lineage? – or do you perhaps dream up a more glamorous version, something featuring India perhaps? We have a wonderful lineage that goes back through the Gita School to India and Tibet. 

My Heart Guru, Margrit Segesman the founder of the Gita school (a very important part of our lineage) was sent to Australia from India and Tibet to teach yoga by her Heart Guru, but she never disclosed who that was – seeking to break the “guru tradition”.. When you register you are not just supporting our endeavours, you are acknowledging the wonderful teacher that Margrit Segesman was…and yoga is. A living tradition. Support us by being a fabulous teacher, and in time Affiliating with us, and taking our traditions into a complete Teacher Training School of your own.

THE SHOP AND ETSY.

For you who have never used ETSY please visit. It is fabulous and oh so EASY. You will find all our books, our DVD’s and CD’s on ETSY. (The Paul Grilley DVD’s are on our web site shop). Please go to www.myyogabooks.etsy.com. Or www.yogabeautiful.com.au. for the Paul Grilley DVD’s. If you are new and haven’t read about YAMAS, CHAKRAS then I have distilled them for you. Go to myyogabooks site as above and have a look – especially at the new book on Hypermobility.. The GARDEN

I am not a person who likes working in the frost – although I did used to do the pruning at the berry farm at this time of year when I was the owner. No-one else would! I understand that it is all about wearing warm clothes, but even rugged up “a la Hepburn” it was not my favourite past time.. I like being out there, and sometimes enjoy to sleep on the verandah in the cold when I need to. The garden on my verandah has been productive, and I am installing a new water feature, but will need help for that. Spring is not that far away.

THE OFFICE: 

EMAIL ADDRESS. There was a problem with the server, but this has been fixed until the next time – For anything, anything at all please email me at yogafirst2@bigpond.com. If you do not your emails may get lost. For money matters please email yogafirst@optusnet.com.au Do not ring unless you have not got email, or you have an urgent question. Email, leave your number and I will get back to you. Phones? We are being re-organised, even here…. 

So at the moment my TEXT number is 0402 088 170 – preferably leave a text or email. I will return your calls when I can – I am not a slave to either the computer or the phone, so you may find that emails or TEXT (which I always recommend) work out best.

I am always as close as your email, and there are those who ring and manage to find me near the phone – NO LAND-LINE AT PRESENT, although theoretically there is a redirection to my cell. Don’t forget to Register, insure and re-subscribe to the videos. Don’t leave these to the last minute. Love and Blessings,  Jahne
