Summer Timetable Week 5

Published: Mon, 08/05/19

Hello

Very excited that our two brand-new Back Care Workshops running from September are now full, so we have decided to add another to the Studio timetable, at 9.30am on Fridays running for six weeks from 6 September. So if you have missed out, or the timings weren’t good for you maybe this will work better for you. Just reply directly to this Newsletter, including your mobile phone number, for more details..

Our Summer Timetable continues for another 4 weeks, so remember to check the Calendar for your regular class and remember to book your Catchups where appropriate. If you feel you are missing doing your Pilates classes you can always buy extras and book into different sessions providing there are spaces. Contact us if you want to do this.

Don’t forget the opportunities available to try Tanya's Summer Special Rejuvenating Reformer Course — starting 21 August at 10am — (her early bird offer has been extended) if you are interested in trying this brilliant piece of equipment. Also, Cara still has spaces in her Pelvic Floor Health Workshop starting Friday 13 September at 12.30pm. Reply to this Newsletter (with your mobile phone number) if you want further details for either of these.

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

Jane, Keith and the team xx

Exercise Of The Week

From September we will be running some classes that are perfect if you find yourself in any of these categories:

Absolute Beginners to Pilates
Returners to Pilates after a long break
those who have dipped a toe into the Pilates pool but never taken a dive.

We like to really get down and dirty with our foundations in Pilates, so these new classes will provide a perfect introduction or re-introduction to Pilates practise. With this in mind I wanted to show you the kind of thing to expect if you decide to join us, so this week’s video is all about the foundations. Enjoy!

Plus for those thinking of starting with us, remember we also provide an accompanying 52-page, full-colour, highly illustrated manual, showing the exact same exercises you do with us when you are first starting out, and we give you links to videos which mean you can practise the basic exercises as often as you want at home knowing you are doing them absolutely correctly.

However you would like to join us, we have you covered and we always make sure your Pilates practise is absolutely the best Pilates practise you can get. Guaranteed!

Your Whole Self

This week I want to talk about Reset.

Occasionally when I am working on my laptop, things aren’t working as they should, the internet is slow, or I have trouble loading some files, or basically something isn’t happening, so I have to reset my laptop … I switch it off and switch it on again.

We could apply the same rules to ourselves, our body and our mind.

For example, a classic situation is returning home from work after a long, busy, stressful day, before you step through the door: pause, take a check on how you are thinking, feeling, and breathe.

In other words have a reset of yourself and remember who you are going in to see and how much they mean to you.

Sometimes I do this before I am heading into teach, particularly if I have had things to deal with before seeing my groups. I have a little reset of what is in my mind, how this might be affecting my feelings and my beliefs, and I need to do this so that I can get my thoughts into the right place to go and teach my Pilates session.

It's just an opportunity to recognise that we need to learn to stop, reset and regenerate our energies.

So every time you come to a door, before you open it up: take a pause, breathe and know what you want to do once you have stepped through it.

Also, take a read of the book Do Pause: You Are Not A To Do List by Robert Poynton, which is where my idea of resetting comes from.

It's Week 5 of the Summer Timetable, so not all classes are running. Best to check and make sure your class is on, before you turn up to an empty venue...

Remember, you have four Summer Timetable classes to take over the summer, included in your payment. If you will miss any of your allocated Summer Timetable classes, just book a replacement using (1) the standard Catchup link below, (2) the Catchup link at the bottom of any of our emails, or (3) the Catchup link at the bottom of the website.

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.
