A man and a woman who have never met before ﬁnd themselves in the same sleeping carriage of a train. After the initial embarrassment, they both manage to get to sleep; the woman on the top bunk, the man on the lower. In the middle of the night the woman leans over and says, “I’m sorry to bother you but I’m awfully cold and I was wondering if you could possibly pass me another blanket.” The man leans out and, with a glint in his eye, says, “I’ve got a better idea... let’s pretend we’re married.” “Why not?”giggles the woman. “Good,” he replies. “Get your own blanket

Alex Witcombe In just eight months Alex Witcombe has stormed onto the art stage in Campbell River with his dramatic driftwood creations that have turned thousands of heads in admiration for this very cool three-dimensional natural art. Alex is well known for his larger than life mural art, around Campbell River, however his passion to create something from the earth that returns to the earth sent him combing the beaches. His first Driftwood creation, the “Raptor”, was perfectly timed with dramatic storms and sunsets that had cameras clicking until it was no more. Alex explained the vision he originally had was for larger works, but quickly he realized he needed to scale back and work with the wood that was available. “It takes about four hours a day of gathering the right size and shapes of wood. The more I do, the better I’m becoming at finding the right pieces of wood, so I’m getting much faster. It’s easier to build them straight on the beach.” After so many photos being posted to social media, it didn’t take long for Alex to have a following, which then grew to a viable business. Alex is currently working on pieces for the Kingfisher Resort and another resort in Ladysmith. In the summer he intends on making his way to Tofino, but for now he is getting lots of requests for residential and commercial work. A direction Alex would like to go in the future, is the use of crowd funding to produce works in natural pockets around Vancouver Island. Alex hopes to entice tourists and residents to travel the island in search of his work. Another passion is to educate children on keeping beaches clean… “after spending so much time on the beach, it’s hard to look past the amounts of plastic and garbage that are harming marine life”. Today the racoon and the alien can still be seen at Stories Beach. You can contact Alex on his facebook page. written by Cathy Kaardal

“I want to become a yoga teacher.”

Ok. I hear you. You’ve got the certificate in your hand. It’s nicely decorated, straight from the latest teacher training retreat, or few months long weekend course. Your heart is full of great intentions. We all start here, we all feel the same way. This week I received three job applications, and I posted no position at all. I’ve been thinking about how to handle the situation. My genuine belief is that everything can be solved by communication. I decided to write the most realistic guidebook on how to become a Yoga teacher in 2017 in North America, based on my experience of the last 12 years, in 8 steps: 1. Get your certificate: Where? Wherever you can. Currently the minimum number of study hours is 200 (recommended 500). There are many great schools with many dedicated teacher trainers. 2. Choose a studio you like: No, sorry. Choose a teacher you admire. Go there and become their best Practitioner. Practice every day. By practicing most days you will develop good relations with all the other teachers and students. By being the most dedicated Practitioner you

will develop a sense of respect, create an example and perhaps attract a future following for your future classes. 3. Educate yourself: Learn social media and other marketing tools. Collect e-mail addresses, names and numbers of all your potential future students. Become confident using the computer. 4. Educate yourself further: Yoga philosophy, deeper understanding of anatomy, mantras, meditation, etc. 5. Continue your education: Take workshops and perhaps a few more teacher training sessions. Log an additional 200 - 500 hours. 6. Find a mentor: (Your favourite teacher might be busy) Volunteer to assist in their classes, ask questions, take notes. Show up early, stay late. Learn from every step along the way. 7. Volunteer: Teach any groups of people you can. 8. Network: Cooperate with other teachers, attend conferences, visit as many studios you can and continue to practice every day. There is a good chance that you might find a circle of people some day in the future who choose you to be their teacher. I dream of a future where every school, sport team, office building, and retirement home, hires their own professional Yoga teachers. On this journey I am with you and therefore I am grateful.
