Hello Everyone

As we head into the autumn months and lots of you are back from your holidays, classes are very busy at the moment. We are really pleased that so many of you now see your Pilates classes as one of your health ‘non-negotiables’ and we have worked hard to be able to offer alternatives like other classes in the same week, or Zoom classes if you can’t attend your regular class, and we want to continue to be able to do this for you. If you’re not sure when the Zoom classes Current dates/times are: Tuesdays at 6.45 pm, Wednesdays at 11.30 am and 6.00 pm, and Thursdays at 10.45 am. I can send you the Zoom link and you just click on it and you’re in, no password needed.

Holiday Dates for November

I shall be taking a holiday from Saturday 1st November until Monday 10th November inclusive.  The following classes will therefore not be running, and anyone with bookings on these dates will have their classes carried over to the end of their blocks. Zoom classes and 1-1 sessions will also not be running during this period. 24/7 Online Pilates is of course always available while we are away, and if you would like to swap a week over to that, please let me know.

  • Tuesday 4th November – all classes cancelled.
  • Wednesday 5th November – all classes cancelled.
  • Thursday 6th November – all classes cancelled.
  • Classes resume as normal from Tuesday 11th November

Pilates Walk Sunday 19th October – Saltwood Country Park 10am

For our next Pilates walk, we will park at Saltwood Country Park car park (pay and display) and walk from there. https://maps.app.goo.gl/GrDQBDdSMuDq5AT88 (We can also park in free parking in the village and drive/walk along in each other’s cars to save on parking fees. I am coming from Folkestone, so happy to offer a lift or pick some of you up in Saltwood. I have 4 spaces.) Please let me know if you want to join us so I have an idea of numbers. Everyone is welcome – partners, friends, dogs (on leads). There is a café at the car park for a drink and bite to eat if you wish after. It’s an off-road walk with some uphill sections, so walking boots are advised as whilst it hasn’t rained much there may be some muddy/wet areas.

Christmas Lunch or Dinner

I have arranged our Christmas celebrations for this year at 3 restaurants that have beautiful festive atmospheres, great service and wonderful food. All of these venues can take 20-25 people, so I should be able to get everyone in who wants to come along. I will have the sheets in class for each of these if you want to add your name. Please also bring along a £10 deposit as below (cash only) to secure your place. I have decided to go for the set menus this year as they all seem lovely and it’s easier to complete the orders.

Strike a Balance Masterclass

Thank you everyone who came along to the Strike a Balance Masterclass at the end of September. I really enjoyed teaching you all. Thank you for your feedback on the day and with the evaluation questionnaire. I plan to offer other Masterclasses on some of the topics you have requested next year as I know many of you look forward to these sessions and have attended them all.

Happiness and health
