Dear Yogis,

We weathered the IT meltdown last week, but it will take me a little while to recover.  No web sites were working properly, I was scheduled to go on zoom, that wasn’t working, and I stayed there trying everything I knew ( and the students tried everything they knew too)  until about 8.30pm.  I was totally shattered.  I hope it is working this evening, but who knows – when AI gets in the mix, and Zoom is very hot on inviting AI to the party, then who knows what will happen.  We do what we can do.

THE YOGA LUNCH was terrific.  I am sorry you were not with us.  Then we had TEACHER TRAINING – again a tiny class but worthwhile.  Everyone thinks that they can run a yoga business but few can, especially in this climate with yoga and “HOT PILATES” studios popping up all over the place.  Yoga teachers are doing all kinds of things to earn a little extra (until the good times return).  When the economy gets a cold, yoga gets pneumonia.  It has always been the same.  I keep the classes going, even when there are not many students because past experience tells me that this will change.  I even contemplate going back to the dreaded zoom!

On Saturday I had a stall at The Art Market.  The stall that does best no matter the weather, retails things made from repurposed cutlery – they make wind chimes, earrings, bangles from serviettes – everything.  It is worth looking just to get inspired.  That is not all there is of course the market grows every month, however, I am not sure I would pay $16 for a loaf of bread even by an artisan baker.  I think I would invest in a bread maker, although there are many kinds of griddle breads you can make in no time at all.

WOODEND ART MARKET: November is the next one.

Namaste – Have a lovely week.

I still have not isolated the problem with the jhwilliams website – you might like topop over to www.yogabeautifulcom.au which is functioning and up to date.   Unfortunately jhwilliams site is automated, you can’t speak to a real person, so I don’t know if it will be easily resolved.  The techie has been today, and will be working on it.  Possibly I will change to something new and different.  It is a good time to do this.
