New week are you ready for a great week of classes … something that keeps cropping up in my classes ‘be in the present moment … the past has has already gone, the future is not here yet!” so whether it be on your yoga mat, dancing, walking, catching up with friends enjoy life in that very moment …

This time of year we need to get a good balance of keeping warm and moving. It’s so easy to be succumbed by the dark nights and cooler temperatures but it is so important to keep the body and mind nurtured..

 

 

 

Having raised over ยฃ100 for Breast Cancer Uk with our Wear it Pink Day … I’ve signed up to 100 squats a day through November – STAND UP TO CANCER ๐Ÿ˜ณ– as some of you know I don’t mind squats – not sure I’m going to like 100 a day ๐Ÿค”
Update – nearly half way through and some mornings my legs know I have done 100 squats!!!
I think squats are an exercise everyone should do regardless of age, will keep you posted how I am getting on!

VALUE YOUR SPACE

Something good that came out of COVID … give people space. All my classes have a capped number so that everyone can enjoy the class, I really dislike turning people away and I am lucky to work in some lovely spaces. but please value your space, don’t be squashed in a class like a sardine!!!

CLASS LEVELS

All my class on my timetable and gymcatch will suggest what level suitable for; All, beginners-improvers, intermediate (have experience in) – these are guidances to help people determine which class is right… if you are unsure or want advice please contact me ๐Ÿ™‚
