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

 

THE INSTITUTE.

Yes, we teach yoga and we teach philosophy and I believe we are still in the top percentile of schools in Australia. When you learn through us, you will have a very good grasp of yoga, and no matter how many people stand in front of you and no matter the standard of the class or the calibre of the students you will feel perfectly able to give a wonderful class.

However, if you don’t communicate with me when you have a difficulty I won’t know. This is distance education not distance healing, and certainly not a class in mind-reading (although that would certainly save time). Talk to me. Doesn’t matter what the problem is, ask me – don’t expect the answer, expect direction.

Everybody, Please read again HOW YOGA WORKS, in particular consider the concept “..and the body is a prison”. Do not look at it from the point of view of leaving the body in any way. Dying, high meditations, out of body experiences of any kind.   Read the book, and then apply it to your own life. Think how you could teach this to a beginner in a way that would make them want to do more yoga and look at their life in a different way. .

 

BUDDHA BISCUITS:    In order to fund the foundation we have been selling paintings, reading tea-leaves, and now I am working on Buddha Biscuits. We will need to have the recipe, the instructions and etc perfected so you can make them for Christmas. Sounds easy, probably isn’t. It is fun to practice, and I do love biscuits.

SERIOUS NOW:   Thank you to those girls who suddenly realised after my last newsletter that they were unregistered, and therefor wrongly insured. Alleluia, they updated their registration date and insurances. I am sorely tempted to do a list here of the very few who never answer emails – I bet they will be the first to jump up and down when they are ‘ex-communicated”.   Sorry girls, we just can’t keep trying to get your attention.

 

AT THE STUDIO

The date of the painting class with me is fast approaching. Some folk were a bit put off by the cost $250 for 5 very, very personal classes (only 5 students). In case you didn’t do the math, that is 10 hours at $25 per hour. Not bad when you look at things like that. I am not an amateur (60+ one person exhibitions), and you could learn a lot about painting and exhibiting your work. In this suburb painting classes are usually $45 per class and more.  

 I have 2 spaces left, so, come and explore this for yourself…. TIBETAN MEDITATION MANDALA (gilded) painting class on Tuesdays 7pm to 9pm from the 24th July for 5 weeks.   You won’t need any experience, just a willingness to learn and go slowly. I teach art like I teach yoga – we start with the foundations. Not only will you leave with a beautiful artwork, you will have an heirloom piece.  Materials, boards etc provided.  If you have favourite brushes (bigger and smaller sables, please bring them).

Go to www.jahnehopewilliams.com to see more, and email me to book your spot: yogafirst2@bigpond.com

TUESDAYS from7pm- 9pm    COST $250 for 5 classes – all materials will be provided. Start Date: 24th July.

There are only 2 spots left available at time of posting this.   By the end of the class you will have a unique image to take home, and frame to put in your own meditation room. Maybe good enough, stunning enough to be an heirloom. No painting experience needed, you will need to be able to sign your own name.  The painting (on canvas) below is much bigger than you will be doing, and unfinished.  It is a painting of the MULADHARA CHAKRA.

 

TEACHING TO THE REHAB. AND RECOVERY COMMUNITY

I have had some requests for this course, and I am looking at it in light of what each student needs to move forward. That being said, it will be a very individual learning and planning. Something you would not be able to access in any other course I think.   I am looking forward to passing on what I have learned, and will support these girls every inch of the way. It is a hard course, but it is also a hard yoga.

I will have a scholarship for this course. If you have COMPLETED your 200 hour teacher training course with me, and want to move forward. Please let me know. Please don’t ask if you have not completed the course.  This is not for beginners.

 

PAINTINGS, PRINTS, TAROT AND HIGH TEA.  WE NEED YOU!!!

The next show will be a “HIGH TEA +Tarot” to herald the release of my new “silk finish” Revelation tarot deck and new mandala Meditation prints. As usual it will be at Reds Restaurant in Woodend, on the 22nd of July between 2.30 and 4.30pm. There will be a cost $45, you will have to book for the HIGH TEA although the exhibition will be open to all.  This is the way for you to help your fellow students (maybe yourself) get SCHOLARSHIPS, and help those less fortunate to have classes.  If you don’t support us, we cannot support you.  You can’t get nothing out of nothing.  WE NEED YOU.  Please make the date in your diary, support us in whatever way you can.

Because there will be a beautiful High Tea, and we need to know the numbers, please book. It will cost $45, and you need to pay with your booking (for catering purposes we need to know you are serious). A Tea Leaf Reading is included in the price.   Remember when I used to do it every day at my little café/yoga room – Mt.Macedon Tea Rooms? People came from all over to get a reading, it was fun, it was good..   On this occasion a booking with Tarot Reader will be available, however, NOT included in the price, and you will need a separate booking for the tarot which is a longer and personal reading.

 

Tea leaf Reading and pendulum prints will be available on the day, and on-line afterwards.

 

Why Register with THE AUSTRALASIAN YOGA INSTITUTE? 

You trained with us, you are a part of our lineage (or we are a part of yours), Registration supports this. PLEASE, PLEASE CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION. You need to be currently registered for your insurance to be valid, and you will need to supply a copy of a valid registration to be insured.   Please check your insurance requirements – keep up to date. They change quickly.

 

REGISTRATION – CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENT.

THIS APPLIES TO EVERYONE.

We have fallen 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. You need to keep up. You can do one of my little courses on ETSY, or someone else’s, doesn’t have to be onerous, just something to keep you on your academic toes so to speak. Just watching a DVD won’t be enough unless you actually write a report on what you watched and why you watched it – the outcome – how it changed how you do what you do.

If you misquote, I will pick it up. 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 to graduation. If you do your course WITHOUT reading the hypermobility books, you will find your work being questioned.
