Hello
New Pilates classes are springing up in Sileby, Hathern and Seagrave over the next few weeks, so if you have a friend or a family member who you feel would benefit from starting Pilates, tell them about us and get them to contact us via office@janethomaspilates.co.uk

And if they need convincing just have a read of this:

“Before I started Pilates classes with you Jane, I was having trouble with my hip and was told by my GP that I would probably need a hip replacement. That was 10 years ago, and since then I no longer have any problems with my hip … and it is still my own hip!” 

I have been working in the fitness industry for 24 years this year, and specialising in Pilates for just over 17 years, and I see daily how it is helping people to live healthy and active lives. I love it, but I understand that it isn’t for everyone, as I know that it is not dynamic enough for some. However, I just want to stress to those who perhaps have doubts about signing up to our classes, that by introducing Pilates into your exercise schedule your health and active lifestyle will be enhanced and revitalised.
Have an agreeable week folks, keep looking, moving and feeling great.

Exercise Of The Week
This week we are looking at mobility and strength with our Push Up exercise. In the video I show variations and different levels so choose the appropriate level for your body.

I haven’t done this complete combination in class for a while, so please get practising because I am re-introducing it soon…


Feel the difference, move differently, and look more balanced.

Your Whole Self
This week I was reminded about how powerful words can be and the affect they can have on how we feel.

Sometimes the slightest criticism can completely immobilise us. It can make us feel defensive and as if we are suddenly in battle having to pull up the drawbridge to our emotional state.

The truth of it is that criticism is nothing more than someone else’s observation about us, our actions or the way we think about something. And their observation very rarely matches the vision we have of ourselves or what we are trying to do.

It can be an enormous drain on our mental energy trying to defend ourselves as we react to criticism. So here is a plan … why not agree?

Now I am not suggesting that you should suddenly start to accept all the negativity that comes in your direction, but just occasionally by simply agreeing, not only can it diffuse a situation which could become uncomfortable, it could also help you to let it go and watch it disappear.

So next time my son tells me I talk too much, instead of me getting defensive and start saying “I have to talk a lot for anyone in this house to take any notice of me …” which is my standard response! I am going to say “you know, you are right, sometimes I do talk too much” and then I will walk away.

Reacting and becoming defensive never makes the criticism go away, it can simply convince the person doing the criticising that they are right and they may keep coming back for more!!!

Agree and then watch it go away!

Catchups
Book a Catchup

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, just follow the link to book it. Our Glamourous Assistant Karen runs the Catchups system, and this link is the quickest, most direct means (it's even faster than emailing her!) of letting Karen know.

Simply tell us the class you will miss and — most important — please give us as many alternatives as possible. If you only give us one alternative, we cannot guarantee you will get a Catchup.

Please also let us know if you will miss your class but don't want a Catchup — the whole Catchup system relies on knowing when spaces will occur.

Finally, please don't just tell your class Pilates Coach you will be missing a class, as your Coach is not aware of Catchups spaces and has no means of registering your space. Karen needs to know, and the link here (it's also at the bottom of our website too) is the best way to let Karen know.
