YOGA NEWSLETTER 06th September’17

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

FOR TODAY – SPRING/GARDENING/COOKING….
  MUSHROOMS. Did you know that if you leave your mushrooms (which are commercially grown in near total darkness) on a sunny windowsill for an hour or two, they will react to the UV, and will produce heaps more of the antioxidant vitamin to protect themselves from solar damage. A study at Penn State University found that a serving of white button mushrooms exposed to UV light (in this case via UV lamp) for just one SECOND, could go from essentially zero vitamin D to an astonishing 824 percent of your recommended intake. The gills are more sensitive to light, so placing them gill side up in the sunshine will give the strongest reaction. Want more? Look at the “GARDEN” section towards the end of this document.

NOTES FROM JAHNE.. My Car: Yes, I am driving around in the beautiful Celica….. Thank you God.

A LOCAL PROJECT. St.Mary’s Church steeple. Thank you so much to those people who have responded with donations. I was hoping that a few of you would, and you did! This is what it means to live in a community!
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. Thank you.

HYPERMOBILITY AGAIN.   The book and the DVD are available via ETSY. www.myyogabooks.etsy.com Thank you all for the great interest. I am on the second printing of the DVD. It must be good. Keep in mind that this was made for me for yoga teachers, and people who know the body. It is not a Jane Fonda DVD for the beautiful people. It is INFORMATION you can use in your classes, and I urge you to do so. I am revisiting Mukunda Stiles book on Structural Yoga therapy in light of my research , and I think it is going to be most interesting. We used this book as our foundation text at yoga teacher training this weekend – where were you?   MARK THIS IN YOUR DIARY>>> PLEASE – DO IT NOW!

I am giving my talk at The Theosophical Society talk on hypermobility, in Melbourne: 1.30 to 4ish on Saturday the 23rd of September. It seemed like a long way away – but it is fast approaching. Please make every effort to go. Take friends, get your class, your teachers to come. It is free. I will be speaking on Mukunda Stiles Book, and bringing in other information that you use in your yoga and reflecting on it in light of my research. Please, Please be there. The book and the DVD are on www.myyogabooks.etsy.com 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. There is a workshop for Level 2 happening on the 3rd of September BOOK NOW – don’t just rock up at 9. If I haven’t got any bookings I won’t be just sitting waiting for you.. I will be at Church. If you do book for the 9am, you can you can also stay for the teacher training.

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.
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. You can buy insurance anywhere, you don’t have to come through us HOWEVER, if you are a student, then there are few companies who will insure you. Ours is one – it used to be the only one.

INSURANCE 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 (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 THIS 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?

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. We have a wonderful lineage that goes back through the Gita School to India and Tibet. 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.

I WANT YOU TO BE THERE. HYPERMOBILITY AND YOGA: Thank you for those new students who are being drawn to me for specialized yoga classes. When there is a small class, and everyone has hypermobility to some degree, then what happens is magic. Students who have struggled in class and in life see the light – can see that there is help, and can see how to help themselves. After a lifetime of symptoms they now have a cause they can work around.

MASSAGE AT THE BENTINCK
  I am offering HOT-ROCK Massage using my very special Death Valley rocks, not just some EBay leftovers. Also (one-on-One) Restorative Yoga Therapy which includeshotrock massage – Health benefit rebates are possible for the one-on-one).

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
  GARLIC: It is freezing as usual, and the garlic, shallots and onions are just loving it. Did you know that squooshing your garlic with a garlic press, inflicting maximum damage to the cells of the garlic will release more anti-clotting sulphur compounds. By the way, garlic that has already started to sprout will have the most anti-oxidant content.

MAKE YOUR CABBAGE INTO COLESLAW. For maximum vitamins/antioxidants slice and dice your raw vegetables and make coleslaw. Even though they have already been harvested, vegetables are living plants, and react to what they interpret as pest damage by doing their best to protect themselves. By finely chopping cabbage and vegetables, and leaving them a couple of hours before eating (or cooking) means there is heaps more of the essential chemicals (isothiacyaonates) behind their health benefits.
THE TAROT
  The Revelation Tarot which goes in for printing this week. A reminder: You can get readings in person, or on line. I am still to organize skype. In November I have been booked for an art show with the subject being bees – so if I am not drawing the tarot, I am drawing bees… To shop for the tarot go to www.myyogabooks.etsy.com 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.

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. The mail address is PO Box 14, Mt.Macedon. Vic. 3441. 

I am always as close as your email, and there are those who ring and manage to find me near the phone … Don’t forget to Register, insure and re-subscribe to the videos. Don’t leave these to the last minute. Love and Blessings,  Jahne
