Anyone who comes to Monday evening classes at The Manor Hall At Coalpit Heath be aware of the road closure next week from 8pm. Avoid the potholes on Church Road which is the diversion route!

UPDATE - 🌧️DELAYED DUE TO WET WEATHER🌧️
Please note, we have received the following update from South Gloucestershire Council regarding this road closure:
These works have been temporarily postponed due to weather conditions. The wet road surface means the new road markings cannot be applied. The situation is being closely monitored, and the works are expected to resume within a week.

Message from South Gloucestershire Council:
A432 Badminton Road – Active Travel Improvement Works (A432 overnight closure 8pm - 6am between Nibley Lane & Culvert Avenue, from Mon 9 February for ONE WEEK)

Essential upgrade works will begin week commencing 9 February 2026 on the A432 between Nibley Lane and the Culvert Avenue Roundabout. Works will run for around 12 weeks.

Traffic changes:
• Week 1 & final week: Overnight road closures with a signed diversion – see map below
• Middle weeks: Narrow lanes 24/7 + temporary overnight traffic lights
• Some noise expected overnight
What’s being improved:
• New segregated footpaths & cycle lanes
• Better junction layouts
• Safer pedestrian & cyclist crossings
• Upgraded walking, cycling and bus facilities

Hi all. Most of you know that I’ve been going to group personal training sessions at Blast Fitness since the Autumn – even though my yoga practice and teaching keep me flexible, it’s just as important to keep my muscles and bones strong with resistance training.

Unusually, Blast Fitness has a few spots free for the group PT sessions (maximum of 5 people per group). I can’t recommend Andy and Charlotte highly enough, the vibe is pretty much like my classes – mature people, a community, everyone working to improve or maintain their own level and we do put the world to rights while we’re lifting our weights (and there is a lot of laughter)!

Why not contact Andy for a chat about how they can support you?

Everyone talks about “taking it easy” as we get older… slowing down, being careful, doing less.

The real challenge isn’t age. It’s losing the strength to handle everyday life.

Suddenly, carrying shopping feels heavier. Climbing stairs leaves you breathless. Even getting up from a chair can feel like a workout. And with each struggle, confidence starts to slip away.

It’s not because your body is failing. It’s because your muscles aren’t being challenged.

Age doesn’t hold you back – doing less does!

Every time you move, lift, stretch, and challenge your body, you’re taking a step towards regaining control and keeping your independence.

When the clock turns midnight, we hope for change; we plan to improve. Don't forget to be kind to yourself - don't set impossible goals, perhaps focus on being positive about whatever your achieve and take the lessons from the things you don't manage.

Whatever else the New Year brings, I hope it brings you love, health and happiness (and a few lovely yoga classes! 😉)

Happy New Year!

(Classes start again on Monday 5th January)

Our last Chill Out Friday at The Manor Hall At Coalpit Heath of 2025 will be on Friday 5th December 6.45pm to 7.45pm, just in time for you to relax and restore before the Christmas period.

As always, Chill Out Fridays at the Manor Hall Coalpit Heath are designed to help you to find calm in your world. With candlelight flickering in the beautiful Newman Room, you'll be warm and cosy as you allow your mind and body to relax.

Relaxation is essential for our health and wellbeing, at this time of year switching off can seem to be so difficult, so set aside out an hour for yourself and give yourself a little treat. The oil diffuser is ready with soothing aromas, the bolsters will support you as you ease in to gentle postures and the eye pillows will help your eyes to relax as you snuggle under your blanket!

I provide mats, blankets, bolsters to relax over and eye pillows if you like to use them. Soft music and candlelight rounds out the atmosphere, allowing you to let go and find your ease. All you need to bring is a cushion, if you like to rest your head on one.

Only a few places are left, each Chill Out is £12. You can book online via https://bookwhen.com/eleniyoga/e/ev-skjk-20251205184500 or drop me a message to let me know you would like to reserve a spot.
