OUR SCHOLARSHIP

OUR SCHOLARSHIP WINNER IS CATHY THESING  Congratulations Cathy!!!!!   She has been most patient and plodded through what needed to be done (the boring paperwork), came and had a session, and we were thrilled that she had applied (and won).

Thank you to our wonderful followers, members and a glorious patrons,  we are NOW offering a new scholarship open to anyone. Australia wide.  To apply, please contact me in the first instance.  Keep in mind that the Board of the Foundation also has a say, so the application must look like an application.  Remember to speak about who you are,  why you want the scholarship, and what you will do if you win.  Why we should give it to you.  You won’t get any special consideration by coming through a school – our Board don’t know you, don’t know your school.  Remember that when you apply, and remember there are no guarantees.

YOGA TEACHER TRAINING                                                                     

We had a great teacher training as usual.  I wish you had come ( I wish that every time).  It is valuable, try not to miss the next one it will be the last one of 2016. How the year has flown!

 

NOA BELLING – YOGA HANDBOOK and SECOND HAND BOOKS

You might be able to still get the book (and many others) second-hand from the bookshops below.  I would advise you to buy a few so that you can amortise the postage cost across a number of books rather than one.

                                                          Cost       Mail

UK      1/ Revival Books Ltd                 $4.94    $5.90 

USA    2/ Goodwill Books                    $1.50    $12.99

UK      3/ Awesome Books                  $9.89    $6.47

USA    4/ Hippo Books                        $5.50    $11.50 condition poor

USA    6/ Goodwill Books                    $1.00    $17.00

USA    7/ The Book Women                 $5.00    $14.75

 

YOUR MODULES   

It must be something to the end of the year, but goodness you have all stepped up to the plate and are really working on those modules.  Ten per day in the post box is not now unusual.  Don’t rush.  I don’t change the way I mark, and if you send me a pot boiler I will send it back with a respectful request to do it again.   

Please understand that you are not the only person on the course – NAME, MODULE NUMBER AND PAGE NUMBER ON EVERY PAGE SENT TO ME PLEASE.   I  READ and mark each module, from every student and I do it myself.  That’s a lot of reading and lots of writing from and to a lot of students – and assures the personal touch that you signed up with us to achieve.  PLEASE HELP ME by numbering each page you send me,  and putting them in order.  Make sure all the pages are there, no drawings missing.  If you are a “12 page plus drawings” type of student, then post them.

I try to imagine life without being able to speak to God, but none of the days without that special energy have the same laughter, or opportunities…..

MASSAGE, MASSAGE, MASSAGE

Massage is ALWAYS a healing experience.  I know that when I first started how excited I was and how much I loved it (and how hard I worked).   Nothing has changed!  I still love it, still work hard…..eventually having a business with 15 massage therapists.

 I can do many types of massage, of course I have favourites.  In my youth a hard massage was what everyone wanted (even me), but now, I want a massage tailored to how I am that day.  If this is you too, come along and have a massage with me.  I even do the famous RAINDROP THERAPY (with my own American Indian twist).  They have been doing this massage for a very long time and using eagle feathers for some of the long back strokes.  I don’t use the feathers, but I do use my hands in that way along the spine.

We have had some amazing healings to date, and there are times when I am able to see your past life originations (not all the time).  If you would like to come, look at the yoga timetable and make an appointment before or after the yoga times.  Give me a couple of options just in case I am busy.  I can do a beautiful massage and a healing together or just a healing.  The healings are by donation.  Massage is $95 per hour or $50 per half hour.

 

BENDIGO YOGA TEACHER TRAINING Master Class –  with Jahne, assisted by Jayne Boyle and Nerissa

If you want to get into Teacher Training – become the teacher you dream about,   Jahne goes up there for the master class every 2nd Tuesday.  It’s a great opportunity for personal yoga growth.

STILL SMOOTHIES, and 5 kg down

I am still doing the smoothies in the afternoon – for lunch .  When I was having a hard slog at Innisfree in the last weeks,  I did eat more than I should.  This was reflected on the scales…  I gained and I hate that and feel it with the small frame that I have.  But I knew where it was coming from.  Grief (yes, grief).  I loved Innisfree, but it was coming to an end, and we all have our way of dealing with this.  I determined the extra kg’s just had to go and I lost 5kg in one week.  Easily. I just have two glasses of water plus a tea or fake coffee in the morning (and may have a tiny croissant for a treat), then for lunch I always have a green smoothie, and for dinner a great pile of steamed vegetables.  Rice crackers or yogurt for supper before bed.  Lots of water, herbal teas… and NO snacks.  I don’t find it difficult to do this, and I certainly feel different, and so do the scales.  Energy?  I have lots as you can tell from the new and wonderful things I am doing – especially MASSAGE.  You do need energy for that. 

 

MASSAGE ON THE DECK

The other day I was watering and playing around on the deck when I realised what a lovely place it would be for a massage.  So I set it up, and NOW IT IS.  So when you come to my home studio you can have a lovely massage – outside.  It is serene, the sounds of the garden are soothing, and when the weather is warming up it will be perfect – it is perfect today.  Make an appointment today – choose a time either side of the yoga classes.   yogafirst2@bigpond.com

 

CLIMATE CHANGE…

Not exactly a change, but a difference.  I have been told by those who know the climate that the coming year is going to be much like the year we have just had, and then we will have a number of years with low rainfall.  Please start planning ahead for less water…  get rid of lawns, put in as many tanks as you can, even small ones in the garden to fill the pond.  I am, you can too.  If you have to choose between solar panels or tanks – choose tanks!  You will be pleased you did. 

Everything will change for you when you work out that there is plenty of time in every day to complete the important things.

 

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT – “JAHNE’S YOGA UNIVERSITY” 

All our classes are available via distance education and you can start any time..  Thank you to those students who are moving from their 200 to another, higher course.  Once you have got into the habit of learning, then it is easy to keep going….   Within our school there are three levels of YOGA TEACHER TRAINING, plus a course in the Gita, the fundamental source of all yoga teaching through the ages.

*THE BHAGAVADGITA (and YOGA PHILOSOPHY) which is like a Certificate or Diploma Level,  RYTA 200 which is our “degree course”  and *RYTA500 the “masters”.

1.    THE BHAGAVADGITA (YOGIC PHILOSOPHY) – you need a bit of background before taking on this course – it is not an “easy option”.

2.    RYTA200 –  THE BASIC YOGA COURSE 

3.    RYTA500 – THE NEXT STEP

4.    RESTORATIVE YOGA THERAPY TRAINING

5.      ***STARTING YOUR OWN TEACHER TRAINING STUDIO (by application to Jahne)  yogafirst2@bigpond.com

6.    PPT MASSAGE THERAPY

Most people have never met, and don’t understand, that there are angels all around us whose only job is to make sure that you don’t get too comfortable, fall asleep and miss the important moments (and gifts) in your life.

 

VIDEOS

I have been asked to do more videos – and I will.  Restorative/yin/props.

 

THE SHOP and ETSY   www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

ALL OUR IN-HOUSE DVD’S AND CD’S ARE AVAILABLE AT THIS SITE.  Please remember that they are not flashy high cost productions.  They are made by Deb and me to answer your various questions.  They are useful in your course.

I am waiting for a new shipment of YIN YOGA dvd’s.  They just race off our shelves and I always have trouble keeping up.  No matter how many I purchase they sell out.    If you want one to watch over Christmas put your order in.  You probably will be on back-order, but at least you know you will get a copy before Christmas.  

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YAMAS AND CHAKRAS – my own little books are on etsy.  Why spend hours looking for the information when you can pay under $10 for these books and have a very valuable easy-to-read reference and resource. www.myyogabooks.etsy.com    If you get them and read them they will help you with many of the concepts that you are having trouble with especially in your modules.

YIN YOGA/ANATOMY/MEDITATION DVD’s – all with Paul Grilley

They are the best and will form the backbone of your yoga references. As I have told you before when I bought mine they cost $100 or so each.  I thought that this was a good investment.  www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS ONES

Honouring the Universe – The philosophy of The Australasian Yoga Institute….

Yoga is an ancient philosophy and practice of health and well-being. Dedicated to a tradition of excellence in teaching for more than 40 years, The Australasian Yoga Institute offers yoga teachers comprehensive and systematic training in classical yoga.  We teach yoga techniques for body, breath, mind and spirit in our certification programs and our classes.   We don’t teach pilates, or quick courses.  We teach YOGA the way it was intended to be taught – a system of healing with an emphasis on the mind. Our Yoga teaching focusses on the foundations, addressing every aspect of the human system, including the body, the mind, the emotions, breathing patterns, relationships etc. respecting the individuality of each person and situation.

  THE CASE FOR A MEAT FREE DAY.. I don’t need to say anything – the statistics speak for themselves…

*Every second of every day,  an area the size of a football field is cleared in the Amazon to produce 275 beef burgers.
*Between 500L and 4,000L of water is needed to produce 1 kg of wheat – compare that to the 5,000L to 20,0000L of water required to produce 1kg of meat. 
**If every American would eat no meat FOR JUST ONE DAY EACH WEEK, then this would result in the same carbon savings as taking 19.2 million cars off the road in the USA for an entire year, or save emissions equivalent to 46 million return flights from New York to Los angeles. 
(statistics from “Fry’s Family Foods” – an article in The Renegade Collective issue #17)   (Jahne).   What if every YOGA student took note of these statistics and ate no meat for one day per week…..  I don’t have statistics for that, but there are millions of yoga teachers in the world, and it would make a significant difference.  You can’t be responsible for every yogi, but you can be responsible for you.  Start today.  One day per week – no meat.  Easy.    

THE GITAJAIA YOGA FOUNDATION.

I am sure that you all know Henry Ford.  He was the man who designed and produced the first commercially available motor car “The Model T”.   He had to do many things and overcome many obstacles in order to do this.  He was the first person to use the “assembly Line process” for instance.  Anyway, he got into a real financial difficulties at one point (we have all experienced this).  Henry went to the bank and they refused him, he went to brokers and they refused him, so what he did was go to his workers and ask them to ALL donate one dollar which was a big amount in those days, although Ford paid the highest wages of $5 per day.   He had the love and support of his workers, and they supported him in order that he could achieve his goal – a car that was affordable for every family.  “United Airlines” did the same thing and succeeded…  Now I am asking you to help the Foundation in the same way.  It is my focus – make it yours.

We have always tried to “put back” into the community, and the foundation will allow us to do this in a formal sense. We need Members.  We are nothing without you –  and this does mean YOU….   If you have a student who you think would benefit from a scholarship then help us in the foundation.   If everyone we have taught put in a few dollars to help someone else we would be able to help a whole lot of people. You could purchase an angel painting on Etsy (www.myyogabooks.etsy.com),   or just make a donation that you can afford,  no matter how small.  Henry Ford succeeded because of $1 donations!   Imagine what we could do if you all helped.  If everyone helped, then we would have money in the fund which may one day be used to support one of your students.  

OUR LAUNCH.  As usual I totally neglected photographs, but we had a great, great day, and the last guest left at 7pm…(for a projected 4pm finish – not bad).  We had join ups to the Foundation and paintings sold.  My favourite painting of The Archangel Michael which I marked at quite a high price ($4,200), didn’t sell thank goodness and I will be A3 selling prints on Etsy , and the profits will go towards the foundation of course.     

  THE FAST-TRAK TO SUCCESS. (Applications open until the 10th July – you have a few days to apply )
This is not a general invitation, however, 
1.    If you enrolled in the course more than 2 years ago, 
2.    Have been sending in the occasional module (yes, I need to see your work) – enough that I can see you have a good grasp on both the philosophy and the asanas
3.     but due to circumstances have not finished the course 
4.    And, HAVE BEEN TEACHING, and there is a record of that teaching that I can access from your students…

Then you are eligible to do the FAST-TRAK.   It is not easy.  If you are a local student, then you have to do the exam in front of me, also show me that you can do a range of asanas (not just the basics), and understand the philosophy and complete three modules chosen by me.  If you are a remote student then the exam can be done where you are, but I will need a DVD of your asanas chosen by me, and you will need to complete the three modules.   The cost for this fast track is $975 which includes a year’s registration.  You can pay in three monthly installments, and when everything is completed and paid for you will receive the registration at RYTA200 (NOT RYTA/YA350).  After you have been teaching for a year, and on re-registration you will be registered at RYTA/YA350 and be able to register for health fund rebates for your clients. 

I do a Fast–Trak every few years, just to scoop up those trainees who are lagging behind, but have proved that they are wonderful teachers.  This is an occasional occurrence, I do not offer it on a regular basis, and if you miss this opportunity then next one may not happen for a couple of years.   Please if you want to avail yourself of this option,  email me PERSONALLY please use yogafirst2@bigpond.com.  Don’t use any other number.     TEACHER TRAINING – PAY BY THE MONTH
For those of you struggling to move forward because of the money… and we all have those troubles from time to time – we are trialling a new way of paying for the course.  MONTH BY MONTH.  You sign up as usual, but pay by the month (no deposit required if you are just signing up).  You pay for the month, we send the modules, I assess them and send them back and we repeat this process until the end of the course until you finish.   If you are already on the course, and  have got into a hard place – haven’t sent a module for a long time, and would like to swap to this program, then let us know…  We will look at your file, assess it, and give you some options.  The work is the same, and there are no shortcuts, but it may help with affordability.     Email me.   yogafirst2@bigpond.com.  

TEACH YOURSELF BOOKS…  New  “NUTRITION FOR A SMALL PLANET – the yoga of food” 

I am working hard here, writing and loving it keeping up with the books that are in my head.  Hop on to our web site to find our books, you will enjoy them – YAMAS, CHAKRAS, AND YIN YOGA….., they will add to your skills, and you can use them as a basis for workshops… www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

If you have your own studio, or teach (or just want to know more)  or want to do workshops, but don’t feel confident that you know enough –  then use these books as the foundation.  Just say that everyone in the class buys a book, comes to the workshop.  You do a class, embellish it with things you like to do, add diet, meditation…  you could easily have a one day or two day work shop based on one of these books.  Should be good, and a whole lot easier than starting from scratch.  Plus, your students can decide to get a certificate at the end from  me if they want that.  It all helps. 

Lee said…..“I felt like the manual gave me confidence to be able to mimic the class and gave me a clearer understanding of the principals of Yin Yoga. I really enjoyed it Jahne and i got something out of it which i will continue to do so as well. So as you said in the manual “i have written this book for you so i hope it will be useful” – and it is, so thank you very much Jahne!”

 

KNITS TO TIBET – PLEASE HELP US. 
We need babies blankets.  80cm x 100cms.  GET KNITTING. 

  YIN YOGA/ANATOMY/MEDITATION DVD’s – all with Paul Grilley
This is one of my major sources and fits beautifully with the course we have put together.   BUY ALL THREE.  You will never regret it.   They are the best and will form the backbone of your yoga references.  Don’t hold back it will be false economy.   As I have told you before when I bought mine they cost $100 or so each.  I thought that this was a good investment.  I think half that is a steal! And that is what we are selling this for www.yogabeautiful.com.au
   

NOA BELLING – YOGA HANDBOOK.  PLEASE…..WE ALWAYS NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE!

We are desperate for some copies.  If you are done with yours, don’t just leave it on the shelf……We will buy yours off you for $25 plus whatever is the postage cost.  Email us if you would like to sell yours, and Deb will call you to organise.   yogafirst2@bigpond.com   We get so many folk get back to us saying how wonderful this book is.  There is a later edition available with lots of black and white photos in it, but my favourite is the first edition which was all colour.  If you can find one, keep it close by – it is a wonderful resource..

 

YOGA CLASSES at the home of The Australasian Yoga Institute….. The Bentinck.

I AM FLAGGING NOW THAT THERE WILL BE A LOT OF CHANGES IN JULY, so watch this space. The yoga space is mine for the time being at least – who can know the future, and for the immediate moment the classes are as usual.  Please come, your presence will be the deciding factor.  If you are not there, if you have voted with your feet (with no email saying when you will be back), I will unplug the class.  It is absolutely up to you.  It is a time of reflection and change for us all.

Cost:  $10 per person per class (or $100 a 12 class pass:  non–transferable).  

$15 mum plus little yoga bub. $25 per family (mum, dad and two primary school children. Young adults $10 each).

PRICES:  We will have to put our prices up I think.  I will give you lots of notice.

WHERE: “The Bentinck”  on the corner of the Romsey Road and the High Street in Woodend.  Enter from  the start of the Romsey Road only – the sign is big and clear . 

PARKING:  If both sides of the car park are full when you arrive, please park over the road – you just have to walk across Romsey road to yoga, and that’s not such a hard thing.  Don’t park anywhere else.  As you enter the gate, park only to right or to the left – not straight ahead. That also is staff parking.

HOLIDAYS – I totally forgot about this holiday weekend.  Now that I am not taking every class I need reminding…  I apologise for those people who turned up and we were not there.

 

CLASS TIMES –  

Monday        5.30pm RESTORATIVE, 6.30pm Hatha class 

Tuesday       *10am RESTORATIVE Yoga therapy with Jahne, and 7.30pm Hatha class

Wednesday   12.30 Yin with Fiona , 6.30pm Hatha with Jahne

Friday           6.30pm Hatha with Jahne 

Saturday       9am RESTORATIVE Yoga with Nicole, 10am Hatha Yoga with Nicole, 

                    12.30 *RESTORATIVE Yoga therapy with Jahne,

Sunday         4.30 *RESTORATIVE Yoga therapy with Jahne 

 

RESTORATIVE YOGA THERAPY  CLASSES with Jahne

At the moment I am the only one locally able to take RESTORATIVE YOGA THERAPY CLASSES. Although others may take Restorative Yoga.   If you have a serious health issue, make sure that the class you are coming to is taught by me.  My classes are a therapy class, and if you buy a class pass you may be able to get a refund from your health benefit fund (depending on the fund).  If you are buying your yoga a class at a time at $10 per class it probably won’t be worth the admin hassle.  Restorative Yoga is quite different to a HATHA Yoga Class.   On request I started a Sunday class, most people can make 4.30 on Sunday, and I hope you can too.
www.yogabeautiful.com.au If you are looking for any changes in times and days, then please go to the web site.  You will find everything there.  We are in the process of updating the site.  Patience please.

 

NEXT TEACHER TRAINING CLASS –   

The next will be on the first Sunday in August at the Bentinck – in the Yoga Room, enter through Romsey Road only.  Please join us.   If you are a distance ed. student then the cost of the afternoon is $10.  If  you are a visitor and not formally a student teacher with us then the cost is $20.

 

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT – “AYI YOGA UNIVERSITY”

All our classes are available via distance education and you can start any time..  Thank you to those students who are moving from their 200 to another, higher course.  Once you have got into the habit of learning, then it is easy to keep going….   Within our school there are three levels of YOGA TEACHER TRAINING, plus a course in the Gita, the fundamental source of all yoga teaching through the ages.

After years at a very cheap price by industry standard, we are upping ours.  If you want yoga insurance with us the cost is now $220 pa.   Because we have been with them since they started, it means we get a “hot desk” answered by a real person, in Queensland not India,  who knows who you are.  We also can get the student insurance, which is a very special advantage.  With regards to the forms – we are updating and simplifying.  It won’t be done in a flash – so thank you in advance for your patience.  Our insurance company is underwritten by Lloyds of London, and has recently acquired OAMPS (I am sure you have seen this about).  We have the advantage, we have a niche within that business, and are cared for, which is excellent when you have questions, and want service.   

 

YOUR TEACHER TRAINING YEAR (or so):

Signing up for a course – our course included, is like buying a car.  You can’t buy it, take it for one run, leave it in the garage and a year later go back to the dealer and ask for your money back.  It doesn’t work like that.  If you are on the course, you are on the course until you write and let us know that you are not.  If twelve months and more have elapsed with no contact in spite of all our newsletters, etc…. then you have (as far as we are concerned) been on the course for 12 months, even if you have done NOTHING in that time. 

By the way.  If you are doing the modules, and you have not properly signed up, then you are not properly on the course.  So please check.  It would be dreadful if you got to the end, wanted to rush to graduation and teaching, and we found you had not completed the initial paperwork and you had to get that done…   please check.  If we check (and we are gradually doing this)  and ask you to correct this, please do it QUICKLY – it  is not optional.

If you are a trainee Yoga Teacher who has been working on the course for more than a year please understand that your course fee only gives you FREE classes with me for your first training year – the first 12 months only and ONLY if you have paid for THE STUDIO TRAINING.  Not the DISTANCE training.  Imagine if what would happen to our Institute if  you took three years to finish your course and you could still come to classes free for the entire course, and everyone did that!  We do our fee calculation based on 12 months of yoga training.   Your STUDIO training fees cover you for a year, after that we ask you to pay $10 per class.   

 

TAKE CLASSES WITH JAHNE ANYWHERE, ANY TIME.

VIDEOS:  THEY ARE NOT OPTIONAL – THEY ARE NECESSARY! Only $275 per annum.

NEW TEACHERS…BEFORE YOU START THE COURSE PROPERLY LOOK THROUGH THE VIDEOS.  I can’t stress this enough.   Please look down the list of the videos before you try to do stick drawings, or organise your journal.   NOTE WELL:  they are not in order.  They do not match up with the modules and they were not designed to do that.  You are yogis doing a course.  You do not need the trainer wheels.    Get a feeling for how they are set up, what’s where.  It will save you heaps of time later on.  There are stick figures, respiration, philosophy, how to teach….even the garden is there.  You will love them, but you have to get to know them – it’s not just about asanas.  My various hair incarnations alone will keep you interested!

 

CONSULTS WITH JAHNE

If your question is a lifestyle issue, a domestic issue, or a personal issue and you want personal advice (counselling), Tarot (?), even hypnotherapy and of course ONE-ON-ONE RESTORATIVE YOGA THERAPY….then there is a charge.   My service is professional and there is an hourly rate – for the Restorative Yoga Therapy there is the possibility of a refund from your Health benefit fund, depending on the fund.  Enquire with your health fund before you decide to make a booking if this is important to you.  Teacher Training issues by enrolled teacher training students at the moment are part of the course, and cost nothing – but you need to make an appointment, and have your questions ready.    Please,  respect my 50 years of teaching and training.  My time is valuable, you know I am always teaching, studying or working with my students – it is all a matter of energy and exchange.  We are a Sangha.  Thank you.

 

FIONA, and JACKEY and ME…. THE OFFICE.

FIONA:  Is doing the everyday office work.  She is the new Debbie, but it will take her time to get up to speed.    JACKEY is our bookkeeper.  For the next few weeks she will be working from 9am to 12 noon on Wednesdays.  If you want to know anything about accounts, ring at this time.  You can ask me questions any other time, but I may not be able to give you a definitive answer.

ME: During the week, mostly you will be dealing with me.  I am having a lovely time getting close to all my students after years of leaving you all in Debbie’s hands.  Right at this moment, if you have a question about your course (until Fiona gets up to speed), truly, I am the only one absolutely qualified to answer you.  If I don’t answer right away, be patient and call back.  Please email in the first instance at the number below – only the number below…  and set up a time when we won’t be disturbed, and will be in a place where phone connections are possible.  My email   yogafirst2@bigpond.com  If you want to know anything about your course..if you have problems, concerns,  then email me.  As I have said.  Be patient.  We are working hard to be the best we can be.

I have asked before DO NOT SEND MODULES TO MY HOME ADDRESS.    For those of you who have missed seeing my postal address.  It is PO Box 14, Mt.Macedon. 3441.  Australia.

THURSDAYS –  are my ONLY DAY OFF.  I would really appreciate it if you left your emails, and telephone calls until Friday.  I know that in this “information age”  you need to know things right this minute…  please postpone your request, and don’t get annoyed if I don’t pick  up the phone.  Make it on Wednesdays or Fridays so I do get a rest.  Also, Read the yoga schedule above.  If you call whilst I am in class I am not going to pick up the phone – ditto if I am in the middle of a consult – that is why I plead with you to email me.  Then I can reply as soon as I am free, and those who try it will know I do, unless I have to think about and research what you have asked then it might take a little time.  Thank you!

Most people have never met, and don’t understand, that there are angels all around us whose only job is to make sure that you don’t get too comfortable, fall asleep and miss the important moments (and gifts) in your life.

I move with the infinite in nature’s power.  I hold the fire of the soul.  I hold the life and healing”. (Rig Veda)

I have found  if you paddle your boat it is easier to maintain the illusion of control, but I tell you it is so much more fun if you pull the oars in and just let the river take you where it will….

Everything will change for you when you work out that there is plenty of time in every day to complete the important things.

THE LAST WORD: I try to imagine life without being able to speak to God, but none of the days without that special energy have the same laughter, or opportunities…..

GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS ONES

Yoga is an ancient philosophy and practice of health and well-being. Dedicated to a tradition of excellence in teaching for more than 40 years, The Australasian Yoga Institute offers yoga teachers comprehensive and systematic training in classical yoga.  We teach yoga techniques for body, breath, mind and spirit in our certification programs and our classes.   We don’t teach pilates, or quick courses.  We teach YOGA the way it was intended to be taught – a system of healing with an emphasis on the mind. Our Yoga teaching focusses on the foundations, addressing every aspect of the human system, including the body, the mind, the emotions, breathing patterns, relationships etc. respecting the individuality of each person and situation.

 

ANOTHER IYENGAR STORY.

There are many tales about Iyengar – he lived long enough to generate them, especially being in the public eye for most of his adult life.  

This story is related by one of his Ganddaughters.  She had been taught by Iyengar and wanted to be a teacher,  and felt that she had to do and be  better to be one.  A demonstration of fitness was called for.  How to get her gandfather’s approval was top of mind when she decided to do a 20 minute head stand!  She said that the first 5 minutes were OK, but then as this lurched into 7 and then 10 minutes she itched in places she didn’t know she had, and felt muscles she didn’t know she had.  When the clock went into 15 minutes she was trembling, and just ticking off the seconds until the end of this practice, the 20 minute mark.  

Her grandfather came in when she had come down out of the pose and was resting.  He asked what she had done, she replied “a headstand for twenty minutes”. He asked again “what have you done?”, she answered again “A headstand for 20 minutes”.  “Yes”,  he said, “but what have you done?”, to which she replied (again), “I have just done a headstand for 20 minutes>”  To which Iyengar replied “Rubbish, what a waste of time!”

Yoga is not just about the body, it is about The mind.  As Patanjali says “the mind of the yogi is crucial”.   Although we are not told, I am sure that Iyengar in the example above wanted to know what the MIND was doing, not what the body was doing.  He could see the body.

 

THE GITAJAIA YOGA FOUNDATION.

We need Members – .  Imagine what we could do if you all helped.  If everyone helped, then we would have money in the fund which may one day be used to support one of your students.   To become a member and receive a beautiful silk angel,  please go to www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

 

MASSAGE QUALIFICATIONS..

I don’t know if I am the only one here, BUT, have you recently tried to update your massage certification?  It is hard.  I takes more time to accredit than it did to get into massage school in the first place…..and isn’t nearly as exciting.    I think all these hurdles are fantastic, IF you want to become a REMEDIAL massage or myotherapy or use any of the other techniques which are medically based and work within a clinical setting, but if you are a relaxation massage therapist, or if like me you have been doing massage most of your life and the places you learned are for the most part long gone..  then in terms of recognition well, its bye bye baby.  Maybe the clinical setting is not where you want to be.

Our insurance company is fantastic, and if you have done a PPT massage course (or relaxation) they will insure you.  I can recognise when a person has the qualifications for massage or not and would be most interested to know if you massage therapist/yogis out there  would be interested in me adding a massage arm to our present registration?  I haven’t thought it through – but if enough of you get back to me I will.

 

ATTENTION EVERYONE – “AYI–FIVE ELEMENT YOGA” Teacher Training Opportunity.

The Australasian Yoga Institute has set the standard in Yoga Distance Education and Yoga Registration and Certification for more than 40 years.   Our mission is to teach as many yoga teachers as we can Australia-wide, world-wide as economically as possible, as safely as possible so they can go on and teach others safely, and introduce them to the real yoga.   No short-cuts, no cut corners, and not just asanas, no matter the length of the course.

We were in the vanguard of yoga teachers and teaching – there were no teacher training establishments certainly no distance classes, except for us when we initiated Yoga Teacher Training by Home Study, eventually consolidating our company in 1976.   We didn’t start thinking “this would be a good business” and developing a curriculum.  We started because we received requests from across Australia, from remote communities.  People everywhere wanted to learn yoga and teach yoga and had nowhere to go, so, urged on by our students we researched what was happening around the world, and went from there – by student request, initiating something NEW and DIFFERENT –   a teacher training program which could deal with the distances involved in yoga teacher training in Australia, offering students in remote reaches of Australia and now the world the possibility of achieving their dream of becoming Professional Yoga Teachers with all the qualifications and protections offered internationally.

With a dramatic increase in our student body, graduated Professional Yoga Teachers, the Institute is able to introduce you to exciting new training opportunities.   

It seems to us, with Yoga studios popping up in every town and village, that Yoga Teaching is moving back into the home, being taught to friendly and small home based groups.   “AYI-5 ELEMENT YOGA” is the perfect vehicle to expand yoga in this way.  It short, simple and is available to be taught across the community without the need for lengthy training.   This new course is a simple yoga based on The Five Tibetans and Ayurveda  that can be designed and presented in homes and at small schools and old age care homes.   It is important to note that last year in America alone 20 million people signed up for a yoga course.  As every country in the world is experiencing this growth, teachers are in high demand at all levels.  They are most needed in the wider community who to this point would not have considered that they could do yoga.

The entire SHORT course will cost $645 .    I think it would take about three months part time by distance education, but the time and pace is up to you.  It may be a short course, but it is not short on safety and it is comprehensive.  I don’t teach “tick this box” kind of courses.  

“AYI-5 ELEMENT YOGA” makes a yoga regime and lifestyle exercise plan,  achievable at any age.   If you would like to add this to your teacher training skills, or start your teaching life with this course, please register your interest with me personally before it is launched on the world.  Be the first with the best.  Email me at yogafirst2@bigpond.com.  It will be available on Etsy, or time payment through our Institute.

 

TEACHER TRAINING – PAY BY THE MONTH

For those of you struggling to move forward because of the money… and we all have those troubles from time to time – we are trialling a new way of paying for the course.  MONTH BY MONTH.  You sign up as usual, but pay by the month (no deposit required if you are just signing up).  You pay for the month, we send the modules, I assess them and send them back and we repeat this process until the end of the course until you finish.   If you are already on the course, and  have got into a hard place – haven’t sent a module for a long time, and would like to swap to this program, then let us know…  We will look at your file, assess it, and give you some options.  The work is the same, and there are no shortcuts, but it may help with affordability.     Email me. yogafirst2@bigpond.com.

 

KNITS TO TIBET – PLEASE HELP US. We need babies blankets.  80cm x 100cms.  GET KNITTING.   

After the earthquake we can’t build a house, we can’t even provide hot water and water bottles, but we can knit warm blankets.  Nothing fancy, just plain knitting is just fine – an opportunity to use up odds and ends of wool .  What is stopping you?  Get knitting today.    And   when you have a blanket or two send them to The Australasian Yoga Institute, PO box 14, Mt.Macedon. Vic.  3441.  A cheaper postage alternative Australia wide may be offered by your newsagent (our does).  Check in and see if your newsagent has this facility.

 

YIN YOGA/ANATOMY/MEDITATION DVD’s – all with Paul Grilley

This is one of my major sources and fits beautifully with the course we have put together.   BUY ALL THREE.  You will never regret it.   They are the best and will form the backbone of your yoga references.  Don’t hold back it will be false economy.   As I have told you before when I bought mine they cost $100 or so each.  I thought that this was a good investment.  I think half that is a steal! And that is what we are selling this for www.yogabeautiful.com.au

 

NOA BELLING – YOGA HANDBOOK.  PLEASE…..WE ALWAYS NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE!

We are desperate for some copies.  If you are done with yours, don’t just leave it on the shelf……We will buy yours off you for $25 plus whatever is the postage cost.  Email us if you would like to sell yours, and Deb will call you to organise.   yogafirst2@bigpond.com   We get so many folk get back to us saying how wonderful this book is.  There is a later edition available with lots of black and white photos in it, but my favourite is the first edition which was all colour.  If you can find one, keep it close by – it is a wonderful resource.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT – “AYI YOGA UNIVERSITY”

I am considering an Hon. Doc. Qualification within our yoga Institute.  If you are interested in taking your qualification up a notch and would consider this, please let me know.  You would have had to graduated as a registered teacher, and done some years of teaching.  Certainly you need a good knowledge of philosophy.  Let me know if this is for you.

All our classes are available via distance education and you can start any time..  Thank you to those students who are moving from their 200 to another, higher course.  Once you have got into the habit of learning, then it is easy to keep going….   Within our school there are three levels of YOGA TEACHER TRAINING, plus a course in the Gita, the fundamental source of all yoga teaching through the ages.

1.    THE BHAGAVADGITA (YOGIC PHILOSOPHY) 

2.    RYTA200/YA350 –  THE BASIC YOGA COURSE – Accredited with Yoga Australia 

3.    RYTA500 – THE NEXT STEP    which you can take in a number of ways.  You must start with 200 hours first.

4. PPT Massage technique.  A stand-alone class, fully insurable. 

5. AYI 5 ELEMENT YOGA.  Based on The 5 Tibetans and 5 Elements of Ayurveda.   A short (complete) teacher training course, for a short yoga program. 

6. RESTORATIVE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING – ON–LINE

 

TEACH YOURSELF BOOKS…  

Hop on to our web site to find our books, you will enjoy them – YAMAS, CHAKRAS, AND YIN YOGA….., they will add to your skills, and you can use them as a basis for workshops… www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

If you have your own studio, or teach (or just want to know more)  or want to do workshops, but don’t feel confident that you know enough –  then use these books as the foundation.  Just say that everyone in the class buys a book, comes to the workshop.  You do a class, embellish it with things you like to do, add diet, meditation…  you could easily have a one day or two day work shop based on one of these books.  Should be good, and a whole lot easier than starting from scratch.  Plus, your students can decide to get a certificate at the end from  me if they want that.  It all helps. 

Lee said…..“I felt like the manual gave me confidence to be able to mimic the class and gave me a clearer understanding of the principals of Yin Yoga. I really enjoyed it Jahne and i got something out of it which i will continue to do so as well. So as you said in the manual “i have written this book for you so i hope it will be useful” – and it is, so thank you very much Jahne!”

REGISTRATION/INSURANCE www.yogabeautiful.com.au

If you want yoga insurance with us the cost is now $220 pa. which also covers you for our PPT massage.    Because we have been with Parmia who are now owned by AJGallaghers (who also own OAMPS) since they started, it means we get a “hot desk” answered by a real person, in Queensland not India,  who knows who you are.  We also can get the student insurance, which is a very special advantage.  With regards to the forms – we are updating and simplifying.  It won’t be done in a flash – so thank you in advance for your patience.  Our insurance company is underwritten by Lloyds of London, and has recently acquired OAMPS (I am sure you have seen this about).  We have the advantage, we have a niche within that business, and are cared for, which is excellent when you have questions, and want service.    

You will get reminders for all the admin details of your course including registration and insurance….  So if you have lagged behind in the paper efficiency department, get that paperwork up to date and then we will all be happy.
