GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS ONES
Honouring the Universe – The philosophy of The Australasian Yoga Institute….
DO YOU CHASE, OR ARE YOU A FOLLOWER? If you are looking for prosperity or abundance this is an important question. Take for example your relationship, or "A" relationship. How often do we experience people who so desperately are looking for a relationship they push every hope of one away. They text, ring, send presents, almost stalk their intended. The more this attitude escalates, the more distasteful it becomes. Eventually driving the two people apart.
The other kind of relationship is one of following or allowing. An invitation is given the door is opened and you can walk through when and how you wish. It is a much more related and productive way to do things. Empowering to both parties.
It is the same with money. The more desperate you are to acquire it, the more you run after it, guess what, the more the energy is pushed away (and money really is only an energy). If you can trust that whatever needs arise will be addressed, then the energy known as money can come towards you. I don't mean that you sit on the couch and just wait, you have to go about your daily business, but with an attitude of love and trust, not one of grasping and getting.
The energy of money is the same manifestation as Divine Love. It serves to support our wordly needs. If you align yourself with the energy of Divine Love, then the energy and opportunities of abundance will be presented to you. You won't have to chase them, they will just be there.
Sometimes it is just a matter of making good choices.
BIG CHANGE TO THE BLOGS and the bees!
I have been blogging away and having great fun as I love to write, but I HAVE CONSOLIDATED ALL MY POSTS TO www.yoganoozles.blogspot.com The word "NOOZLES" came out of the words "news letters" for those of you who were guessing, and thought it was just a fun word I had picked out of a hat!
The old blogs below I have kept open so you can check on the history if you want to go back, but "nozzles" will be the one and only after a time.
"YARN-BOMBING" the group starts again this Friday. I am putting the call out for small plastic curtain rings if you have any. The metal ones are OK, but plastic would be better. Even shower curtain rings if they are round - they come in all shapes and sizes – for us, the smaller the better. We need the rings to be the centres of the poppies that we are going to crochet for Anzac Day. Please drop rings in to the library at any time, clearly marked 'FRIDAY YARN BOMBING GROUP"
HOW ABOUT AFFILIATING NOW?
Some of our senior graduates with Yoga Schools of their own are taking the plunge. Why be a yoga teacher, when you can be a teacher of yoga teachers? Those girls in far flung Australian outposts of Yoga First (or even International Outposts), please consider becoming an AFFILIATE. That means you will be me where you are. You can be a teacher training centre, and you could be one by next week if you meet our criteria which is not onerous. If you have done our course, we know you and are happy to have you become a teacher training centre. Think about it. Then Do it.

SANSKRIT-WORD-A-DAY:
We are none of us as familiar with Sanskrit as we would like to be, and in effort to boost our Sanskrit vocabs, I am putting a SANSKRIT-WORD-A-DAY on my blog. You can catch up with it there. I am even twittering, but the twitter/facebook will only have one word. The blog allows me to play, and there are more than one at a time. Www.yoganoozle.blogspot.com
YOGA CLASSES
STUDIO WITH JAHNE: Monday, Tuesday and Friday at 6.30.
Saturday 12.30 - Restorative Yoga - "The Strawberries and Cream" of yoga.
WOODEND COMMUNITY CENTRE: Wed. 12.30 and Saturday at 10. $5 pp per class, bring a mat
INNISFREE: Yoga/Yoga Nidra: Mondays 2.30 to 5.30, Yoga/Philosophy: Wed. 2.30 to 5.30, Yoga: Sat. 2.30 to 4pm Bookings required.
"DUNIERA": From March this year for 8 weeks, I will be holding a Wednesday morning class at Duniera, a fabulous old mansion on Mt.Macedon. You won't often get the opportunity to do your yoga in such splendid surroundings (actually the kitchen alone is large enough to have a class in, just by itself). The cost of the class is $20 because custodial staff needs to be employed to watch that we don't run off with the paintings, or drapes. This is a "one off" chance to do yoga in a beautiful old mansion, so take advantage of this opportunity.
YOGA TEACHER TRAINING MORNING: Because of the Duneira class: The teacher training (usually held the first Wednesday in the month) will be held on Tuesday mornings, starting Tuesday 4th March at 9am (not 9.30). Please make every effort to be there, the classes are getting better and better. Much more participation and discussion – thank you to all the participants.
Lat Wednesday our beekeeper came to class and showed us the hives. It was great to see. We are planning for him to come on a Sunday afternoon. You can bring your "better half", look at the bees, chat with John, and generally have much more time than we did on Wednesday. If you are interested, please let me know. We were thinking of Sunday 23rd of February at 2pm. Does this suit you?
PS: you will not be expected or required to do anything with the bees, just watch and think. There will not be an exam at the end! We will just have a lovely relaxing time.
ATTENTION! ATTENTION! From the 1st week in March our Teacher Trainings will be held on Tuesday mornings 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th March. This is because I will be doing a yoga class at Duniera in Mt.Macedon on Wednesdays at 10am. Of course you are all welcome to come there, but as I have stated before there will be no teacher freebie. They have to pay for staff and upkeep, and we are paying a large % of of what we receive to them. It is just something that will be good to do. A change is as good as a holiday they say.
"YOGA FIRST" (ON SITE) TEACHER TRAINING MASTER CLASS with Jahne from the 4th March: There are some students for whom Distance Education with little or no supervision (especially in the esoteric areas of study) is too hard. We are therefore going to trial a Weekly YOGA TEACHER TRAINING Tuesday Class. Starting at 9am, and running until at least lunch time.
Because this is with Jahne, you will receive extra credits, and will be able to march straight on to a 500 hour certification.
We have done this before MIDWEEK, and it worked, and we are trying again. This will mean that with a little effort you will be able to progress through the course quickly. The time frame will depend on you as usual, but it will be possible to get through the studio based part of level 1 in 6 months and level 2 in an extra 3 months (9 months in total). There will be home study involved in both levels.
If you have already started teacher training and would like to change over to this course, there will be an extra charge, but you can do it. Please talk to Deb or me in the first instance. Email us, and leave your phone number and we will get back to you. yogafirst@netcon.net.au You will of course be able to teach whilst you are doing the course (with Jahn'e OK) – you will not have to wait until you have graduated.
YOGA 101 TEACHER TRAINING WITH MICHELLE. Michelle has another full class for her Sunbury Teacher Training year (there is always room for ONE MORE, I think. It could be you). Michelle is so hard working, so conscientious and a great teacher who takes her yoga VERY seriously. She has put together a fantastic course. If you are out that side of Melbourne, Sunbury way, and are looking for a good teacher training course – CHOOSE YOGA 101. Email her on michelle@yoga101.biz

REGISTRATION/INSURANCE for $275 TOGETHER! The two!
Well, I am not sure that as an experiment this was a success. You asked for cheaper registration and insurance, I have given you one of the best in the business and had hoped you would recognise what a fantastic opportunity it was – and you didn't. Deb and I have had a good chat about it. We will run it until June, and if few of you take it up, we will go back to the way things were. More expensive, but still one of the best insurance schemes around…... The ball is in your court now. If you are just waiting to sign up go to the web site www.yogabeautiful.com.au
THE CHAKRA PAINTINGS
THE OCEAN OF LIFE, the second painting for the June Exhibition is complete. . And I am now working into words, doing the booklet so I don't forget the things that inspired me in the paintings. After the exhibition, so that you will be able to buy an A5 piece of one or more paintings (depending on which paintings lend themselves to this) together with a certificate of authenticity. The money we raise will go towards providing scholarships for potential teachers who cannot afford to do our course. We always provide scholarships, and these won't stop, the art sold will just allow us to do more.
I am also doing a series of Buddha paintings which I will put on-line. Probably on etsy.

THE RECIPES – "No grain no pain" A GUIDE TO THE SIMPLE LIFE.
For Recipes and GF hints all are now on www.yoganoozle.blogspot.com. If you are sick and tired of spending your hard earned dollars on cleaning chemicals, whip on over to nozzle and get my recipes for orange oil surface cleaner and furniture polish. So simple, so fantastic!
NUT MILK BAGS
More people are finding the joys of this little bag. So many uses. I know it says NUT MILK, but I use it least for that. Straining yoghurt, skimming the pond are just two of the ways I use the bag. Have just used my bag to drain the orange peel for the surface spray and the furniture polish above. www.yoganoozle.blogspot.com
THE GARDEN:
It has been so hot in the garden that the bees have been living alfresco. Massing on the outside of the box. This weather has made me look hard at my garden, and I am gradually going to replace the tress/shrubs that require lots and lots of water with those that don't. I will take photos as I go so you can see the steps I am taking to cut down on water usage whilst making the bees happy. I am not fond of big changes in the garden, but I have to make some.
The book "THE SHAMANIC WAY OF THE BEE" has arrived. If you would like to reserve a copy email me yogafirst@netcon.net.au I am not sure of the cost. About $15 I would expect plus postage.
YIN YOGA DVD with Paul Grilley
This DVD is one everyone should have and make sure your students have one too. We have another shipment…. We are selling these for under $40 plus postage which may explain our turnover. When I bought mine I paid nearly $100 for it and was pleased to do it. So if you want a set, order now from the shop on our web site – or ring Debbie and she will post one out as soon as they come to hand – call on Tuesdays or Wednesdays at 0354 273 518 (or order one when you come to teacher training.

JAHNE'S MENTORING SESSIONS – "Step4th Mentoring"
Because Jahne has been teaching yoga for more than 40 years, and running a business the Buddhist way for much longer than that (and successfully) she is often asked for advice. Asking course questions is free, but, if you wish to have Jahne help you with relationships, career, or just getting personally "unstuck" then that is coaching/mentoring and does come with a cost. Her charge per half hour for mentoring is $75 and $65 for student teachers. It is amazing how much you can shift in half an hour when you strip away the unnecessary chatter. It's the Buddhist way.
'A CIRCLE OF WOMEN" (our monthly meetings – next one see above)
A CIRCLE OF WOMEN may just be the most powerful force known to humanity. If you have one, embrace it. If you need one, seek it. DIVE IN, HOLD ON, LOVE IT UP. Get naked. Let them see you. Let them hold you. Let your reluctant tears fall. Let yourself rise fierce and love gentle. YOU WILL BE CHANGED. The very fabric of your being will be altered by this, if you allow it. PLEASE, PLEASE ALLOW IT (author:: Jeanette Leblanc).
TYLDEN HIGH TEAS:
We will be having another HI-TEA at The Harvester Soon! So get your hats ready. Teas at Tylden are so much better than anywhere else. How does Sunday March 2nd, at 1pm fit with your schedule? Let me know. yogafirst@netcon.net.au
