This whole sitting down to write on Friday thing seems to come round so fast. Another busy week with lovely full classes online and  it has been a real pleasure to see so many of you for real this week, as the weather has allowed us to do several garden classes - fully respecting social distancing of course. 

So a couple of points.... ( I even write "So" - I have become horribly aware of how many times I say "so" and "right" in classes... having watched hours of recorded's!)... 

Some of you have been asking about August and I will be putting more info out nearer the time but I wanted to mention what my plan is. It is my intention to teach some real, face to face and "out in the forest" classes during the first week of August. After 24 July, we can increase the class size so while I will still totally respect the guidelines, I would like to have a few end of term outside classes. If weather allows, those of you who are in the NF can come along, bring your mat and meet for real and now that I am a whizz on "hot spotting",  I will still Zoom to those of you further afield and we will all wave at you.. It may be pouring of course in which case we shall continue at home but that is a small plan that is forming. I am currently thinking about where may be appropriate as somewhere a little discreet, to offer parking, some shade and away from the obvious tourist areas and suggestions are welcome. If you happen to have the space and dont mind hosting, do let me know - otherwise we shall be somewhere in the forest. I thought we could bring coffee and cakes and just enjoy seeing eachtother! 

I will run a slightly reduced class schedule for the first week of August and I am then taking the following 3 weeks off; (I know?!! it really is all about me isn't it?!!) but I will be putting up a whole range of recorded classes to keep you busy and will update and refresh. I will charge £20 (practicallly free) for the first week of live classes in whateve format that takes and the subsequent 3 weeks of loads of recorded classes. I also have a little "Thank you" for your loyalty and support but more of that next week. So - that is the idea and I hope that meets with your approval. 

I am also taking note of which classes seem to suit with a view to the Autumn schedule (but let's not mention Autumn again for a while). 

Secondly, I have been looking at all the info and chatting with my peers in the business and I think it is fair to say that we will not be offering small equipment anytime soon ( and more realistially over a year away) and will require you to bring your own. I plan, when we are back in the hall etc., to do a post weekly just like this so that we can plan what you will need to bring.  I am therefor happy to sell anything that I have loaned out. I have a few soft balls left and literally a garage full of mats so if you need me to deflate a ball and stick it in the post do let me know. I have come up with the following 

Roller £10

Ball £3

Magic Circle £8

Bands - Throw in for free 

or £20 for all the above if that is what you have. If you do wish to purchase, please BACS me but PLEASE email me first as I have a big list on the fridge that I need to tick off. Likewise if you do not wish to purchase and would like to return, that is absolutely fine. If you have borrowed equipment and are not going to continue, I will arrange to meet you and collect during the next couple of weeks.

I hope that all seems fair and reasonable. 

I am putting up the 34 moves from this week but at a modified level so do have a go and please let me know how you get on.... and ON THE LAST THURSDAY 8AM OF THIS BLOCK WE ARE DOING THE 68 - ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND THEN BACKWARDS - YES WE ARE..... (that is 34 + 34.... just checking ) 

And so to next week. -  I need to warn you that I am embarking on a juicing sesh. As lots of you know, I used to (and may be again) work at the Juicing Retreats in Turkey and Portugal and am a devotee. Quite frankly if I don't do something soon, you will have to turn your screen to landscape to fit me in.... so for those of you who have not experinced "Juliet juicing"...... the energy and enthusiasm will be through the roof by about Tuesday.... it could be a tough week for all. Don't mention the war and fasten your seatbelt....  drastic measures. as when someone popped over and commented on how grey I looked in real life and it didn't show on Zoom, my haridresser (no longer grey) mentioned about "all you middle aged women" (currently lookng for a new hairdresser) and when I sat down on a "friend's" bar stool this week, she said how rickety it looked and "I think it will hold you".......

Tough - Intermediate/Advanced    Mixed ability    Beginner and all levels 

The Tuesday and Thursday classes are 9am NOT 915am - you may need to refresh your page but I have updated on the website! 

Please do not be put off by the level. For example in the Intermediate/Advanced, it doesn't necessarily mean all the exercieses are an advanced level but generally I will moving the exercises on more quicly with less recovery and less teaching cues so if you are confident in your practise and have experience, you can join in and modify and adapt where you need to. Likewise, the BEGINNER classes are a great opportunity for you to revise your practise and check in on where those bad habits may be sneaking in. Never understimate the demand of the BEGINNER AND TECHNIQUE classes! Feel free to give me a ring to discuss the class level and how appropriate it will be. 

Please note that by joining both my live classes and taking part in recorded classes, you confirm that you have read and agreed to the disclaimer terms and conditions. It is your responsbility to advise me of any changes to your physical well being and any change to your health that may affect your ability to exercise. 

TIMETABLE FOR BLOCK 4. JULY 20-24
