| Hello Everyone
Hi
To show how much we value each and every one of you who attend our classes and our programmes at the studio, you will know that
|
I am constantly looking for opportunities to organise events which may be beneficial to your overall health and wellbeing. The MacMillan Tea Party, the Nutrition Evening, and the Juicing Evening were three such events.
The Neal’s Yard Remedies Xmas Party afternoon on Saturday 14th November, is another opportunity for me to show my gratitude and thanks to everyone who is part of the JTP family.
Jo Round is a local Neal's Yard Remedies Organics Consultant and she will be introducing us to the products. There will also be some light refreshments available provided by Green’s of Loughborough. It will be a fab afternoon, and an opportunity to experience the Neal’s Yard Remedies products as well as a chance to mix with friends and the JTP team. Keith provides more information below… Please don’t miss out on this opportunity.
Remember, Remember the 14th of November
|
Remember that we have a Neal's Yard Remedies Xmas Party on 14 November, at 2pm in Rosebery
Street Medical Centre. This is free to attend, and is a great opportunity to see the Neal's Yard Remedies product range.
I repeat: it is FREE.
You'll see the products they make — all high-quality, and all gorgeous stuff. Jo Round, who is a local Independent Consultant for Neal's Yard Remedies Organics, is bringing a range of her products for you to see and sample. Jo's website is here.
If you've not had any experience of Neal's Yard Remedies Organics products, this will be an ideal chance to take a look, sample, and buy if you want. They make great prezzies for family, friends, and even yourself.
To book your space for the
afternoon, you need to contact Jane on her email address jane@janethomaspilates.co.uk. You MUST book your space as we will be putting on refreshments, and we just need to know numbers
ASAP.
One of my passions has always been running, and
when I was out on my regular Sunday morning run this weekend I found myself feeling extremely grateful that I decided to specialise in Pilates 15 years ago, because I am very confident that if I hadn’t, I would not be able to be still running now.
The reason being is that after 20+ years of high impact exercise 15 years ago my knees began to give up, resulting
in two arthroscopies ie, one on each knee. It was definitely Pilates that saved me, and that keeps my knees — or I should say, my whole body — healthy enough that I can continue with my passion for running.
I have put together a series of exercises aimed at taking care of our knees, the muscles which stabilise and feed into our knee joints, and also our power
house. This week's Exercise Of The Week is the first instalment of the series.
Follow the link below and do this strengthening exercise for the stabilising muscles for the knee joint. As with all Exercise Of The Weeks, work at the appropriate level for your body, and if you need further clarification or have any questions regarding your individual specific
needs, either email me or speak to your class Instructor.
What does your ideal day look like?
This is a question I ask myself often. If I am sitting doing something for myself, I draft out my ideal day, and then I look at what I need to do to take me closer to my ideal day.
Sometimes it can be something quite simple that gets forgotten but that could easily
be achieved to make your day feel better.
So part of your ideal day might be that you want more time to bake or more time to exercise for yourself, or more time to spend with your family or friends, and all of these can be achieved by making a few small changes. Or they might be bigger, like a daily walk by the sea… If you don’t live by the sea, then this will
involve a longer term plan, a plan which involves a bigger change to your lifestyle, but if it is really what you want, then start making plans now to take you closer to your ideal day!
Just making the list of things that would make your day ideal will get your headspace into the right place to start taking you towards that
day.
Have a great week folks, stay fit, happy and healthy and keep moving
freely.
Jane, Keith and the team

The Important Stuff At The End

Book Your Catchup Here...
|
If you know you will have to miss a class in your course for any reason, and would like to book a space in another
class instead, all you need to do is follow this link to book your Catchup
In the form you'll find there, simply tell us which exact class you are going to
miss, as well as as many alternatives for Catchups as possible. If you are looking for alternative classes to your own, remember that all our classes are listed on the website, under the Appointments & Classes tab.
Also, we can offer an alternative to matwork Catchups, in that if you have two Catchup classes, you can exchange these for a single Reformer class as your Catchup — if there is space. You need to check
this with us first though.

This Week's
Classes
As you'll see from the week's Calendar, all matwork classes are back up-and-running this week after the half-term holiday. All classes are also in their correct venues.
There are also some new Absolute Beginners Classes starting up, so if you know of anyone who would benefit from regular Pilates (and who wouldn't, eh?) just forward this email and tell them to get in touch. This week is the ideal time to start doing Pilates, in a brand-new Absolute Beginners Class — tell them that they can have a FREE TASTER CLASS, so they don't even have to spend a penny trying it out. All information is also on the
website.
There is also a brand-new Reformer class this week to cater for the growing demand for this fantastic way to take your Pilates to a higher level. The new Reformer class is already full, but if any of you would like a free taster class on a Reformer just reply to this email to let us
know. We will see what we can do to get you to try it.
Next Week's Classes
Next week — ie, from Monday 2 November onward — all classes (matwork and Reformer) are running as planned.
