New Yoga Booking System & Cancelled Classes

 

Cancelled Classes

Everyone needs a recharge occasionally, and now that the house sitters are organised I will be practicing the Maitri aspect of yoga and taking a family holiday.  There will be no classes during the first week of May.  So Tuesday 2nd and Thursday 2nd May classes are cancelled.  I will be back, and ready to roll for the next Catch-up on Sunday 7th May.


Class Booking System

We have a simple new booking system for yoga classes.  Each week you just text YOGA , and the classes you’re booking.  E.g. “YOGA  Tues & Thurs”.  Bookings can be made in advance or on the day.  This way I know who is due, and can let you know in the unlikely event that class needs to be cancelled.

Help the Moorland RFS, become a Fire Fighter

Image
The fire danger season may be coming to an end, but the Rural Fire Service (RFS) is already preparing for future events, and are looking for new recruits to help our community. You can help the RFS by becoming a firefighter, or sharing this post with someone you think might fit the bill.  I caught up with Stewart Waugh, the esteemed Fire Chief at Moorland RFS, to ask what it takes to become a member of the RFS.   There's not much to it really, as long as you have a reasonable level of fitness and are over 18 years old you can apply.     All costs are covered by the RFS, so you need not pay anything to become a volunteer Firefighter.   Once qualified, you will be expected to attend at least two training session per month.  The crew trains on a Sunday between 10am and 12pm.  As the video below shows, some of the training is pretty fun! It is important to attend incidents in a timely manner, so the RFS prefers members to live within 15 mintutes...

Basil and Cashew Nut Pesto

Image
This quick and easy side dish can be used as a fresh veggie dip, a sauce for roast chicken, drizzled over salads or spread on cheese for a snack.  This lasts for about a week in the fridge and freezer well. I often make double and freeze one batch.  Ingredients: 1/2 cup cashews nuts 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese 2 medium cloves garlic  1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan rock salt 2 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves  1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (ACV) 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil  Method: 1. Put the cashews, parmesan cheese and garlic cloves into a food processor and pulse until fine.  2. Add the pink salt to the food processor and pulse for 5 seconds.  3. Add the basil leaves, apple cider vinegar and olive oil and pulse until well combined.  Notes: 1. You can ramp up the nut flavour by toasting the cashews nuts before you begin.  2. If you want a smoother texture you can add more olive oil.  3. Traditionally lemon...

Why Say Namaste?

Image
  Have you noticed that I say "Nasmaste" at the close of most of my Yoga classes? If so, do you say it too?  Many students just parrot Namaste back as a matter of course, without knowing what it means.  I know I used to way back when I worked up the courage to actually mumble Namaste in response to a teacher.  That was, incidentally, a long time before I was confident enough to chant OM/AUM at any audible level. Whether you say Namaste at the close of your yoga class is up to you, but I thought I'd give a brief overview of what it means to me, and why I say it. As with a lot of things, you can find multiple meanings for the Sanskrit word Namaste.  At its simplest, it is a greeting, to say hello.  The word is made up of two Sanskrit words, with "Namaha" meaning "greetings" and "te" meaning "to you".   Hence why Namaste is used by Indians multiple times a day. In the ancient Vedic texts the word "Namaha" is said to mean ...
