Midsummer already

Published: Mon, 06/25/18

Hello

Summer Classes

We are rapidly approaching summer, so I just want to take another look at what is happening with your Pilates classes over the summer, and show that we have made sure you get your Pilates throughout the summer — despite any holidays you might book or any holidays your class Coach may be taking. If you've missed what we've been telling you about summer classes, or if you're a Beginner with us, read on and find out about your summer Pilates classes.

Basically, between 15 July and 8 September (an 8 week period) each class will have 4 timetabled classes, to allow everyone in the JTP team to have a well-earned break as well as some professional development work. However, we're not all away at the same time from the JTP team — we stagger our holidays so there will always be some Pilates classes on throughout the summer, even if you have different holidays to those of your Coach.

What are my class summer dates?

Your complete summer term dates were emailed out to everyone at the beginning of June before term started, so you already have a list of your class dates over the summer. If you didn't note these dates and can't find the email now — don't worry, read on for details!

Basically, if you find that you will miss some of your regular class timetabled dates over the summer, all you need to do is book a Catchup class in another class for any of your regular classes that you'll miss — using the Catchups system we provide for you in the normal way.

How do I know which other classes are running over the summer?

Every one of our summer classes is on our online Calendar here, so you can check which classes are running over the summer, just by stepping through the Calendar from week to week (using the < and > buttons).

How do I book a Catchup class?

The link to book a Catchup is always at the bottom of this Newsletter each week. It's also always at the bottom of the website. And it's also at the bottom of emails you get from us.

Please do use this link to book your Catchup class — it's the fastest, simplest and most direct way to let us and your Coach know you'll miss a class and to book a Catchup in another class.

Remember that — traditionally for us — over the summer is a great opportunity for you to try out different classes, in different venues, days, and times. And for this reason all our summer classes are mixed ability — whether you're a Beginner or an Improver, all of our summer classes will suit you. All of us here in the JTP team hope that you will take full advantage of our summer timetable, and have a GREAT summer of Pilates.

Have a fantastic week folks — keep looking, moving and feeling great.

Exercise Of The Week

This week I am showing a Pilates Preparation exercise. One of the original Joseph Pilates exercises is a Kneeling Side Kick, however for some, being able to maintain the balance, mobility and stability required to perform this exercise is a challenge. So this week I demonstrate a preparation exercise which focuses on getting the body in the right position, with correct alignment and balance to perform a stretch, which will then lead to performing the leg work in this position.

I demonstrate three leg positions so work at the appropriate level for your body, and keep away from pain. Enjoy!

For those who have issues with weight bearing in a kneeling position, the work can be performed from a side lying position.

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

Your Whole Self

Choose to be active this week and show yourself the love you deserve, the respect you deserve, the care you deserve.

By choosing to be active you are choosing to be healthy, you are choosing to work on being the best you can be.

Remember 10 minutes a day is better than one hour a week — give yourself 10 minutes to work on your mind, body and soul you have earned it and you deserve it.

All classes — matwork and Reformer — are running as planned, all in their correct venues, at the correct days and times.

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.
