Another brilliant weekend away in Hebden bridge (too hot 🥵😂) I like the sun I just don’t like the heat but it was nice to be able to sit outside & practice outside too . Ours friends got the train from York for the day so Mopsy was pleased her bestie Martha was there and Maggy was excited to see her sister Dolly 😍, managed a couple of nice walks down the canals and through the woods, girls were blathered but they had a great time 😂.

Great week of classes, the focus was on twists , which can be quite a challenge, but fab for strengthening the core especially the intercostals and obliques, some of you had a go at baby crow (I love this posture) transitioning from pigeon into forearm plank and bear crawl, these postures are always optional, some yogis stayed in pigeon others held forearm plank, whatever option you took, you did amazing and it’s always great to see you modifying for your bodies needs. Well done 👍🏻. Sticking with twists this week.

Another busy Pilates class who all did fab, it’s not that much different to yoga, it’s not as fast but we can hold postures a bit longer and repeat the postures with add ons to make it more challenging, again you have the option to stay as you are or challenge yourself, I always say you know your bodies better than I do.
We welcomed a few new students last week who all said how welcome they felt, thank you 🙏🏻
We have a couple more this week 🥰
And to the 1’s that book on and don’t show up 🖕🏻. I’m thinking of taking payment in advance for new bookings, that will put a stop to that, and if it doesn’t who cares they’ve paid 😂

Your mat isn’t a stage it’s a mirror, what you bring in always shows.

Well done to my students that did the marathon yesterday, and to 1 who did an ultra marathon on Saturday you’re amazing (I’m sure classes helped 😂)
To my students that are on holiday have a fabulous time 😘
To my yogis that are unwell I wish you a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹
And to the 1’s that are thinking of an excuse not to come to class get your arses there 😉😂

We’ve been away for most weekends since Maggy joined us, so I want a weekend at home this week, I have booked us a Sunday lunch in 1 of our fave places though 😋😍, so we’ve still got something to look forward to

See you on your mats 💪🏻

Just a polite reminder

I take payment in advance for all my classes to cover me for late cancellations and no shows.
Although classes are 45 minutes long for participants it takes me a lot longer for planning and travel.

If I don’t take payment in advance, and I turn up for a class and there are only 5 people, it costs me money, I still have to pay hall hire no matter how many people are there.
I know things happen that can’t be helped but I am a small business and the more notice given you’re unable to attend is great I can decide wether it’s worth me running a class or cancel the class with plenty of notice for my students.

When I have payment in advance if 5 people cancel with short notice or not turn up and I know I only have a small class I am still able to run it with no cost to me as I’ve already received payment.

If you cancel before 12pm for a night class or 9pm the night before for a morning class I will honour the payment and carry it across for your next class, any cancellations after these times will be charged (or fined as I like to call it 😂) some yogis tell me I should make it 24 hours notice 🥰.

Since taking advance payments I have not had to cancel a class in over a year.
Thank you all for your continued support on this matter, and helping me continue doing what I love ❤️

Much love Di 😘👍💪🏻

We had a fab weekend away in Slingsby enjoying the sun. Managed a practice outside with some help 😂🐶 she just has to get involved.
We love the pub here, the pizzas are amazing.

As the weather is getting warmer my homemade soup lunches are now changing to salads with homemade dressings, I love salad I eat it all year round but can only eat soup in the colder months 😆.

Big well done to all my yogis last week but a special mention and well done to my Wednesday morning class (happy Claire 😆) i really pushed them through a strength class 💪🏻, I bet there were some aching abs and legs .

Focus this week is twists, and a couple of challenging postures 🫣😛. We often call twist flows, detox flows in yoga, as they give your digestive system a good massage, helping to get things moving, it’s also recommended to drink plenty of water after a yoga practice to help flush out toxins

Yoga is like an important meeting with yourself that you don’t cancel ❤️
The more you do it the better you get 👍🏻💪🏻

Well done also to my Friday Pilates gang, we did some more work for the upper body in Fridays class so we had a challenging arm and shoulder sequence, starting with basic arm raises then adding on. Brilliant effort 👍🏻💪🏻

Pilates isn’t about perfection.
It’s about patience, practice and progression!

I’m nearly back to 100%, managed 4 runs last week, walks with the girls, Pilates, yoga and Tabata, I don’t like it when I can’t exercise, I need to do it otherwise it puts me in a bad mood… But what I did realise, last week at least (when I was falling asleep during the day )
If you don’t chose a day for rest, your body will do it for you!

I’m looking forward to this weekends trip to hebden bridge, helping the husband celebrate his birthday and a meet up with friends, Mopsy’s bestie Martha and Maggy’s sister Dolly 💕💕🐾🐾🐶🐶

See you on your mats 💪🏻

What a busy week, class planning and a new class, some very busy classes and new students 🥰. I only managed 3 runs last week because I've been a bit under the weather🥹, I get so annoyed when I can't run😡, but I know resting is the best medicine. I lost my voice so teaching was a challenge (I think some of you actually enjoyed it🤣) Had some of my own very enjoyable practices of yoga and pilates, Some deep stretches and resting postures and a couple of sessions targeting the core💪.

PILATES, WOW amazing turnout thank you, and you all did so good, a couple of no shows which I expected although its still bloody rude when someone else could've taken that spot🤬. I was over cautious with my spaces so I do have more spaces available if you want to join us just drop me a message on 07821 492229.
Pilates is a low impact form of exercise targeting core strength, and focusing on flexibility and posture through controlled movement.

We did a lot of strength based vinyasa in classes last week, it's always my favourite, remember having to modify or use equipment is NOT a failure or set back, it's telling me and yourself you know your body and its limitations and they really can help your flexibility and you can achieve postures more accessibly.

Tuesday night class starting at the earlier time of 5.30 due to road closures
All other classes back to normal this week. Looking forward to seeing my Wednesday night gang.🥰💪

We had a fab time in old town Sunday with the besties from York, absolutely love meeting up with these 4, Maggy's sister Dolly and mopsy’s bestie Martha, We had lunch and drinks in our fave place. We will be meeting again week after next in Hebden bridge, it's bedlam but it's ace 😍😍

You don't need to be able to touch your toes
You don't need to breathe loud like Darth Vader
You don't need to try to impress anyone
You've just got to show up and practice
Do the best you can with what you've got
Thats it!

See you on your mats 💪

I hope you've all had a great easter and for some a long weekend, we enjoyed drinks with friends Friday and had a lovely lunch with friends on Sunday 🥰. I have eaten my weight in chocolate these last few weeks, why does Easter egg chocolate always taste better than any other?

We had some really strong flows in classes last week, challenging ourselves with some tricky transitions, you all did great, and its always good to see you take the modifications to suit you and your body, using props isn't taking a backward step, they help with flexibility and balance and also help you into the posture properly, and I always say falling isn't failing, we all wobble and fall in and out of postures, it's all part of your practice.🙂
We has another new yogi join us last week, who sent me a message thanking me and you for making her feel so welcome ☺️

**PILATES** starts this week and I am looking forward to welcoming new faces and some of my yogis to class, The class is fully booked so If you haven't received a message confirming your space you are NOT booked on, so please don't just show up I would hate to turn you away, I do have reserve list going though so just drop me a message on 07821 492229 . I may look at putting an evening class on in the future.

Practicing yoga and learning about yourself is like entering a big dark room and turning on the lights one by one.
Some people want to be able to get into the postures on their 1st class and see instant transformation. Yoga IS NOT for these people. It is for people who are patient and willing to work hard to over come their limitations 💪

I am so looking forward to this weekend when our friends from York visit with Mopsy's best friend Martha and Maggy's sister Dolly, if you're out and about in town or the marina you may see us (you won't be able to miss 4 OES😂)

Do no harm
Take no s**t

See you on your mats💪

Late post.. I am just so busy

We've had a lovely weekend away in Hebden bridge, absolutely love the walking here, although we didn't walk as far as usual as Mags can't walk that far yet, I still got my yoga and pilates practice in 💪Got my St Eval and Yorkshire soap company candles topped up, I LOVE these especially the Yorkshire coast (YSC) which always reminds me of studying for for my level 4 diploma and gorse (STE) which always reminds me of Cornwall😍

We had a couple of new yogis join us last week who signed up again, classes are getting busy again, I LOVE what I do, I LOVE that you enjoy my classes and come back week after week, and some of you class after class, it means the world to me that you share my passion, but I also LOVE how encouraging and supportive you are of each, How YOU welcome new yogis to class like they are friends you haven't seen for ages.
We had some pretty strong flows in classes last week with challenging transitions and working from top and bottom of our mats which really challenges our focus and concentration. It's always surprising how challenging it is getting to the top and bottom of our mats through vinyasa and how challenging we find our left and rights, but we have a laugh doing it🤣We all look different in postures because our bodies are different and move in different ways.

My favourite teacher often says (especially when a posture is challenging(
Being in a shape is not yoga
Paying attention to what you're doing, when you're doing it is yoga

I got 4 runs in last week, I'm still really enjoying my running, I am trying to keep the focus on pilates for my home practice but did do couple of yoga sessions too, and a few Tabata sessions💪

**NEW PILATES CLASS**
This starts on the 10th April and is full already, so if you haven't received a message from me confirming your space, you're not booked on but I can put you on reserve list. Please make sure you let me know if you can't make it.
As with all my classes it is booking only so please don't just turn up, I would hate to have to turn you away.

**No Wednesday pm classes until 15th April**

Do no harm
Take no s**t

See you on your mats 💪

We've had a lovely couple of nights away, met the family for some lunch, the youngest kept us entertained with some "tunes" and I managed some pilates and yoga outside, whilst getting trampled on by the girls.

We carried on the ladder theme in classes last week, these can be quite a challenge for strength, adding on different postures, a couple of challenging warm up flows that took us full circle of our mats... coordination it's always a challenge, but we have a laugh whilst were doing it, and its lovely how you're all so supporting and encouraging of each other.

We have a couple of new yogis joining us this week, I know you will all welcome them to class.

I have had a massive response to my up and coming pilates class, this will start on April 10th in Preston community hall, looking at a 10am start.
I also have another yoga class coming up in Preston in April this will be a Thursday morning at 10am in the old ABR pet store.
Get in touch if you want details about any of these classes.

We are looking forward to a Sunday lunch with friends later and another trip away at the weekend, we love spending time in our MoHo visiting places and treating the girls.
I hope you've all got something good planned in the week ahead.

The beauty of yoga is not how you look, but how you feel after each practice

See you on your mats

(I don't know what I've done but I can't get emojis anymore)
