Dear yogis

In light of concerns over the potential for transmission of Covid-19 to those vulnerable in our community, I have made the very difficult decision to temporarily suspend yoga classes. 

We're working on a plan to provide live-streaming sessions, so watch this space. In the meantime, the wonderful team at Absolute Yoga in Ballarat are offering these, plus videos you can sign up for and practice along with at any time. Head to www.absoluteyoga.com.au to learn more. 

This is not an easy decision. It means not only a financial loss for myself, plus a loss for the community halls we hire, but also the loss of yet another place where people can connect and find support. Please continue to support local businesses and each other.

I'm very excited to let you all know that yoga classes in Miners Rest will resume next Tuesday 5.30pm - 6.30pm (11th Feb)!!

Mats will be available but please BYO if you have one you'd prefer to use. I'll supply any props we might need but bring your fave blankie/cushion if you like. 

Usual rates apply: $17 for a casual class, $75 for a 5 class pass and $130 for a ten class pass - and those passes last a year, so heaps of time to use them if you need a break for any reason. Of course, if you already have a pass you're using in Clunes, that will be very much valid for Miners Rest too!

Find your way to the Miners Rest Community Hall on Market St (It's just behind the pub)

I'm so excited to see all those lovely Miners Rest faces again - and hopefully some new ones too!

With more time to breathe, more time to move and more time to relax, this is a lovely bit of self-care on a Saturday morning. Call or message Lily on 0459 138 797 to book your spot or check in with any questions. 

Hi folks,

With a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, figuring out life with a toddler and long drives to far-flung beaches, I've finally (I think) locked in classes for the year. The plan for the coming weeks is a bit up and down because I have a few things on, but then I'm hopeful we can get into a rhythm from April on. Famous last words. 

So here's the plan:

The next class in Clunes will be THIS THURSDAY 7 MARCH 7pm at the Senior Citz hall on Fraser St. Then:

A week off on 14th March

Back on the mat on 21st March

A week off on 28th March

And then BACK BACK BACK in full swing from Thursday 4th April.

Sorry for all the confusion. Do feel free to give me a yell if you're not sure what's happening. I can't promise to answer the phone, but I will respond to messages when I can.

I am very excited to announce that we have a new venue for our Tuesday evening yoga class!

​The Clunes Senior Citz have welcomed us with open arms and have even thrown in a store room... No more lugging mats and blankets around - hooray!! 

The venue is located at 25 Fraser St, Clunes (corner Templeton and Fraser St). 

See you Tuesday 7pm!!

xx Lily

New rates will apply from July 16th 2018:

Casual classes: $17

10 class pass: $130

​5 class pass (NEW!): $75

And what do you get for this? A mat to practice on (if you want), a blanket to wrap up in (it's winter), a strap and a block if you need them AND the best one hour you can gift yourself in a week. Classes are warm, welcoming and challenging in all the right ways. Come along and find out for yourself!

Tonight was the last class for a few weeks as Meg and I are off to the UK! We'll be back in time to squeeze in a couple more classes before Christmas, so please watch this space.

We're also planning a longer workshop or two for the Christmas hols. Usually 3 hours on a Sunday afternoon, these will be a great way to unwind once the silly season is over!

Plus, we're in the planning stages of live streaming classes - this is pretty exciting. Existing class pass holders will be able to use their pass to access these online if not able to attend in person, and all others will be able to access them​ with a $15 payment via direct debit before the class. More details to come! 

If you'd like to stay in the loop with all this exciting news, please drop me a line with your email address and I'll sign you up. 

Love to you all on this momentous day in Australian history <3

xx Lily

Collins Place, Clunes - 10am Saturday 25 March

*Ok, so there's a catch. 

Yes, it's a free yoga class - BUT I would like you to make a massive, wallet-liberating, happiness-making donation to the Fred Hollows Foundation as part of my 30km trek from Cape Schanck to Point Nepean.

If you haven't heard already, the 4 L's (Lily, Lois, Lana and Leslie) will be teaming up to go the distance on the 26 May. We are the Clunewalkers and we'd be very grateful for your support!

So what can you do? 

• Come along to the yoga class and make your donation in person
• Visit our page and make a donation:
• http://melbourne.coastrek.com.au/fundraisers/lilymason

How much should I donate for the class?

Think about what a normal yoga class costs. Pay that. Or double it. Or pay a bit less if it makes you feel good. Somewhere along those lines. Though I'd appreciate notes rather than coins :D

Who can do the class?

EVERYONE! Young, old, male, female, kids, grandparents, bring the whole family! Let's all get bendy for a good cause!

Thank you for your support x

I was honoured recently to be asked to speak at the Clunes Probus Club monthly meeting. I had a good think about what I could talk about (yoga: obv) and remembered something I'd written years ago about some of the teacher training I'd done.

On re-reading it, it seemed like a fun story and an interesting insight into what crazy stuff advanced training in yoga offers! So I thought I'd share it with you guys. Hope you enjoy!
