We Love Pilates

Hey team!

I've had an idea for Friday 25th September - which has been dubbed Dolly Parton Day as in American dates it's 9.25!

As you're probably aware during the past few decades Dolly gave out over 300 million books through her Imagination Library and I thought it might be a nice thing to do to give out donated children's books to children on that day and was wondering if you would like to help me by donating any children's story books that you have but no longer need.

I've got lots of children's books from my daughter to get us started but would need a good range of books for children of all ages (0-15years) for the day to work!

If you have any fiction books or would like to buy a book to donate that would be amazing

Please make sure they are in good condition and suitable for children of all backgrounds today (some books written in the 20th Century, unless they have been updated recently have inappropriate language that could be discriminatory)

I will be collecting in class over the next few weeks ready to donate on Friday 25th September at a venue TBC

Any books left over will be given out over the following week or donated to charities working with Children in Leicester

Have a lovely weekend x

We have sticks! 🪄
New stick class incoming!
Saturday morning 10:15am at the Brite Centre

Come along and move in a way that opens up your chest and shoulders, especially good for all of us as most of us coil forwards at work, driving, looking at screens etc

You will leave feeling taller!
Come and feel the magic of the stick! 😍
Full disclosure - the magic comes from you doing the work with the stick, the stick itself is not magical unfortunately 😅

Well almost a total Eclipse this evening and if you were about in the 90's you'll have read that with a Spanish accent! 😅
This evening's class at the Brite Centre will finish by 6:30 & as the full eclipse is around 7:10/7:15 you will still have time to see it (with special glasses, a colander, a pinhole & paper or your phone in selfie mode!)

Booking is now open for a brand new class the Pilates stick!
The stick (AKA the broom handle) is a great piece of kit for working on mobility and posture, especially the shoulders and thoracic area (upper body)
This class will include a variety of mobility and Pilates exercises using the stick.
If you are intrigued and would like to join the class, let me know 🩵

The first session in the series is a Pilates interval training class - this consists of several rounds of exercises which are done at a slightly quicker pace than usual and for time so you can work for either 30 or 40 seconds and rest for the rest of the minute before the next exercise starts.
It's a fun class and there's still spaces left if you would like to join us.
Suitable for anyone who has some knowledge of Pilates or gym exercises and no injuries or ongoing issues (as this is not a rehab type class)
