Half-term & Reformer Pilates

Published: Mon, 02/18/19

Hello

We are taking our half-term break this week and next, and very few classes are running — just the start of our new Absolute Beginners Course on Saturday 23 February in Sileby, and (next week) a few catch up classes where we have had to change dates due to venues not being available or teachers being absent. So please check the Calendar below and ensure that you don’t miss out on your classes.

Our New Coach

I would like to welcome Zoe to the JTP team. Zoe is going to be taking some new Reformer classes for us from March (see below). Zoe has been coaching Reformer Pilates in London, but she has recently moved back into the area and fortunately for us wants to bring her Reformer coaching to the JTP family. I look forward to sharing more news about Zoe over the next couple of weeks.

My Half-Term

I am looking forward to spending some time at home over the half-term break, I will be planning and putting into operation some new ideas as we take our classes into Spring. I am also going to be spending time with family, which is already happening as I spent a wonderful afternoon with my great niece on Friday, Merida. Of course she is absolutely gorgeous, so I am looking forward to doing more of this. Plus, as some of you know my son will be getting married to the amazing Amy in April, so I will be taking myself off to the shops for my wedding outfit.

Whatever you decide to do with your time off from classes, please don’t feel you have to miss out as I am sending you a Pilates class to participate in at home. (See the Exercise Of The Week below).

New Beginners Reformers Class

As mentioned above, in March we start three new micro-group Beginners Reformers class, and spaces are now booking. These classes are ideal for anyone currently doing matwork Pilates and looking to up their challenge, and also ideal for those who have not done Pilates before at all. The planned classes are on these days/times from March:

Tuesdays 7pm
Fridays 7.30am
Fridays 9.15am

and will be taught by our new Coach Zoe.

General details about our Reformer classes, and indeed Reformer Pilates in general can be found on our website here.

Your Whole Self

I am sharing this week’s post for anyone who may find themselves becoming anxious and fearful about how others may react to what they may say, feel or behave. We can only take responsibility for our own thoughts, actions, and behaviour, we are not responsible for others. Everyone has a choice, they can choose to react in anyway they feel, but you are not responsible for that. Sometimes people will be expecting a certain response and if it isn’t what they were expecting, or it doesn’t fit in with their own thoughts, they could react unkindly. As long as you have acted with integrity and have stayed true to your own beliefs, remember that they have a choice and you don’t have to take responsibility for that.

The Week's Classes

It's the first week of our half-term break and no regular classes are running this week.

The only class running is the first week of our latest new Absolute Beginners Course on Saturday 23 February, in Sileby. There's still a couple of spaces if you know anyone who might like to join us for the absolute best way to start Pilates.

You can use the Calendar to look ahead to the classes running next week.

We return to our full timetable of classes week beginning 4 March.

Book a Catchup/Missing Class

If you know you will have to miss a class in your course for any reason, want to let us know or would like to book a space in another class instead, just follow the link to register 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 and your class Coach know.

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

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

Finally, please don't just tell your class class 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 and fastest way to let Karen know.
