Hello Everyone
It has been a joy to start seeing more of you face-to-face now, and well done for adapting to all the recent changes. You are all amazing, and have been an inspiration to me. I feel like our Pilates family is coming back together again after five extraordinary months. I fully appreciate and understand that some of you still want to stay online or do both, and we shall be continuing with the videos and Zoom sessions to give everyone the flexibility they need over these changing times.
24/7 Members: Please message me to let me know each week if you will be attending the Zoom sessions on Wednesdays 11.30am and 7pm.
Tuesday 9.00 am Classes at the Burton Hall from 18th August
Only 4 places remaining. A reminder that we have a new class starting at the Burton Hall at 9.00 am from Tuesday 18th August. Our Thursday Hythe classes are all more or less full, and due to restricted numbers I have had to disappoint some people. This new class is therefore a great opportunity to restart your Pilates with me in Hythe. The Burton Hall is larger than the Cricket Club venue, and 2 meter social distancing will of course apply. There are plenty of windows along one side and double doors we will open to let plenty of fresh air in. https://www.janem.co.uk/availability/
Advance booking is more or less essential to guarantee your place, so please can you make payment as soon as possible after I have confirmed space with you. To be fair to everyone, places will be allocated in the order I receive payment. In the case of multiple requests coming in together or for waiting lists, priority will be given to 24/7 members.
Outdoor Class Sunday 16th August
Once again this year we have had the pleasure of doing Pilates on the Leas in the sunshine or shade, accompanied by the sound of the sea. It really is a wonderful experience and a great start to the weekend. I have two outdoor Pilates classes scheduled this weekend. The Saturday class is now full, but still plenty of space on Sunday 16th at 8.30 am. Please let me know if you would like to join us. You can keep track of our planned outdoor classes and venue information here: https://www.janem.co.uk/pilates/outdoor-pilates-classes-in-folkestone/
New Classes Starting September
Despite my best efforts, I still haven’t been able to obtain a reply from The Beacon School regarding when they will hire to us again. I therefore believe it is unlikely that these classes will restart, at least for the time being.
I am therefore planning to start a new class on Wednesday evenings at 5.30 at the Shepway Close Centre in Folkestone from 23rd September. We also plan to resume our regular Wednesday 11.30 am class at the Shepway Close Centre on the same day. For either of these classes, please let me know if you would like to book.
Shepway close really is a fantastic hall with modern facilities, and has been fully redecorated over the summer. It is the largest of all our venues, so there will be loads of space for social distancing, and ventilation is excellent.
24/7 10 Day Membership – Never Miss a Week’s Pilates!
To help you maintain consistency with your Pilates practice, e.g. if you can’t make your regular class one week, or when I am on holiday, I am now offering a new 10 day access to Jane Mackenzie 24/7 Online Pilates* for the cost of just one group class (£8 or £7.50 if you want to transfer one class from a block of four across to 24/7). Keep your Pilates practice regular with 10 days access to our extensive library of 22 full 1 hour Pilates Classes, and take as many classes as you like, whenever you like, during that 10 day period.
*Ten day 24/7 memberships run from Friday to a week on the Monday inclusive, and do not include group class discount or booking priority benefits. For administration purposes, one week’s notice is required to change a previously booked class to 24/7.
That’s all for now. Have a wonderful time in this amazing summer weather, and I look forward to seeing you in class or online next week.
Happiness and Health
