Hello Everyone
Happy Summer everyone, I do hope you’re making the most of this beautiful weather, doing all the activities you love! I have lots of exciting things to cover in this newsletter, and so without further ado…
I’m Now Officially an Advanced Breathing Instructor!
First up, the big news is that I’ve finally qualified as an Advanced Breathing Instructor, through ‘Oxygen Advantage’. This is the culmination of 1.5 years of intensive training and study, and the skills I have learnt will definitely be of benefit to you all, as I integrate breathwork into my Pilates classes. To learn more about correct breathing, and why this matters to you, please see my news post below… My first breathwork class – recorded at the spectacular Mont Saint-Michel – is now available to Online Pilates 24/7 members, and a clip from this is included in the post to whet your appetites!

Breathwork Masterclass – ‘Catch your Breath’!
To celebrate my new qualification, I shall be running my first Breathwork Masterclass on 14th November 2026, 9.30 to 11.00 am at Hythe Cricket Club. During this workshop, you’ll discover practical techniques to help you breathe more efficiently, along with simple daily exercises to improve your breathing both at rest and during physical activity. We’ll also explore how breathing can help calm the nervous system by activating the parasympathetic (‘rest and digest’) response, reducing the effects of spending too much time in ‘fight or flight’ mode.

Hythe Sports and Fitness Festival Talk
And on the subject of breathwork, I recently gave a talk at Hythe Sports and Fitness Festival on the benefits of combining Pilates with Breathwork. If you missed the event itself, a full recording of my talk can be seen here:

New Online Pilates Slogan – Result!
Thank you to everyone who participated in our poll to select a new slogan to promote our Online Pilates 24/7. We have lots of responses, and I’ve very pleased to announce that your preferred slogan was:
“Strength and Stability for Life”
This slogan perfectly sums up what I do my best to offer you through my classes. It will from henceforth be used as a strapline for our Online Pilates, and will also be used to guide the way we describe our services. These changes will be rolled out across our website very soon. Thank you all once again!
Wuthering Heights Day 2026!
As many of you now know, it has become somewhat of a tradition for some of us to don our red dresses and wigs, and join in with the annual ‘Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever’ on Folkestone Harbour Arm. This year, the event will be held on Sunday 26th July. If you would like to join me this year for a bit of “Ooooh – it’s me you Katheeee…”, please let me know! And if you’re not sure what this is all about – here’s our news post from last year’s event, which includes a link to the official MWHDE website:

That’s all for now. Have fun, and I look forward to seeing you very soon in class or online.
Happiness and health
Jane Mackenzie
