Another East Wellington Road update...unfortunately it sounds like the overpass will be closed for a few weeks. So, if you usually come via East Wellington from Bowen Road, you will have to detour. A few options:
-along Bowen road, up Wakesiah, onto Third street, past the Jingle Pot pub, down Holland Road by the Christian School, left onto East Wellington.
-coming from North on the parkway, turn right onto Jingle Pot road where left is Mostar Road. Follow Jingle Pot Road through the Shady mile, left onto East Wellington Road, along past Mountainview school
-off parkway, turn onto Jingle pot Rd where the other direction is Third street (to the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre/NDSS), drive past the Jingle Pot Pub, and turn right onto Holland Road by the Christian School, left at the bottom onto East Wellington Road, up to our driveway.

Closure related to work being done as part of $56-million midtown water supply project

Just a quick alert about East Wellington Road closure - for today, and likely the rest of the week, East Wellington road between Bowen Road and Westwood Road (the overpass bridge) is closed, so if you usually come that route, you will have to detour...options:
-along Bowen road, up Wakesiah, onto Third street, past the ingle Pot pub, down Holland Road by the Christian School, left onto East Wellington.
-coming from North on the parkway, turn right onto Jingle Pot road where left is Mostar Road. Follow Jingle Pot Road through the Shady mile, left onto East Wellington Road, along past Mountainview school
-off parkway, turn onto Jingle pot where the other direction is Third street to the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre/NDSS, drive past the Jingle Pot Pub, and turn right onto Holland Road by the Christian School, left at the bottom onto East Wellington Road, up to our driveway.
Hopefully it is back to regular detour next week!
Thank you!

New session May 31 - June 26 (4 weeks)

We hope that you are all keeping well and looking forward to more normal times. There are some new clients shown in the photo below who are already for Pilates!
With that in mind, we are eagerly making plans to reopen for group classes on Monday May 31 for a 4 week session to Saturday June 26, assuming that PHO restrictions on group fitness classes are reduced.
Your class bookings made for the March 29 - May 8 session will be held over for you, but please confirm by Thursday May 27 that you plan to return to classes, so that we can accommodate everyone.
All of our Covid-19 protocols will remain in place.
We are still having private sessions, so please email or phone Margaret to make your bookings.
Some of you have credits from the last session to apply to this new session, so please contact us with any questions.
I am sure that we all look forward to seeing each other again, but in the meantime, stay safe, stay local, and enjoy this beautiful weather.
Lots of hugs to you all!

Group classes suspended until May 24

Bonnie Henry announced yesterday that all group fitness classes must remain closed until May 24. This will hopefully help control the spread of Covid-19.
The good news is that we can still see you for private sessions, so please email or phone Margaret to make your bookings.
If you prepaid for this 6 week session of classes, please be assured that we will fully credit you for future classes, or provide a refund if you prefer.
If your thoughts turn to trying some online classes, we do have a wide selection of online classes available through our website via Vimeo.

In the meantime, stay safe, stay local, and enjoy this spell of sunshine
Lots of hugs to you all!

Studio closure for 3 weeks, March 30 - April 19

Bonnie Henry's "circuit breaker" announcement today requires all group fitness classes to be suspended for 3 weeks effective midnight tonight. This evening's classes will take place, then no group classes for 3 weeks. Private sessions are allowed to continue, so please email or phone Margaret to make your bookings.
To keep you going through this period, we do have the online video programs available through our website via Vimeo. We also have that Christmas spectacular series "12 days of Christmaslates" days 1 through 12 showing on YouTube for absolutely free.
We hope that this circuit breaker will be effective in curtailing the spread of this wicked Covid virus, and we can return to normality soon.
Our daffodils are approaching full bloom, but will likely be fading by the time group classes resume. If you are lucky enough to partake in a private session, stop by the garden and take in the yellow carpet.

Stay safe, and enjoy this spell of sunshine
Lots of hugs to you all!

Update as of November 24
Group Classes suspended

As you may have already heard, the Province of BC has revised its Province wide restrictions, and now orders the temporary closure of all group fitness activities including Pilates amid the current surge of Covid-19. Let's hope that their definition of temporary is short!
Consequently, we will have classes tonight (Tuesday November 24), but classes will not take place tomorrow Wednesday 25 and thereafter until the PHO new guidance is developed. Of course, we will blow the horn and advise you when we are allowed to restart again.
There is some good news, and that is that we can still offer private sessions. Please contact Margaret to make your reservations.
We also still have a great variety of online classes with your very own instructors available from Vimeo via our website.

Rest assured that any classes you miss during the closure will be credited to you, but only if you have already paid!

We have gone through this before and survived and we'll do it again. Some character said it will make us stronger?

Under Bonnie Henry's new orders, Pilates classes can continue provided we keep our existing protocols in place, including wearing of masks.
However, our Spin classes are not allowed, hence they will cease and Reformer classes will be offered in their place. Please confirm any changes with Margaret.
