Just off Park Avenue North!

Very close to the Abington Health Complex, the Chestnut Road Studio is a dinky little space, where small groups gather on a regular basis to create shapes with their bodies, whilst lying on mats, learning how to use (or sometimes, how not to use) muscles they may never have known they had, or didn't have, as the case may be.

So whilst this is not how Balanced Body would have described it when I did my classical training over a decade ago, but at the same time, strangely accurate.

The May schedule is attached, an absolute faff to create but also pretty useful. Especially if you're deciding between the 5 class pack or unlimited.

Check the website for all the info www.jdoh.co.uk

Despite a brand spanking new website with online booking and studio membership, sometimes you just need an old fashioned handwritten schedule, with waaay too many colours, pinned up with blue tac.

Membership ’cos there’s only space for maximum 5 in class, but a booking system that allows full control of your package 💪🏽

Class descriptions are on the website, head to www.jdoh.co.uk for a nosey.

If you like what you see submit a membership request and I’ll be in touch 🙏🏽

Simples!

Live near 𝑨𝒃𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒐𝒏 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝒐𝒓 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒔?

There's a members only 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃 & 𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘 studio, tucked away on Chestnut Road, just behind St Matthews Nursery.

With space for a 𝗺𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝟱 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀, classes at the Chestnut Road Studio are intimate and personalised.

The 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞 offers:

- Gentle Pilates
- Pilates Fusion
- Hatha Yoga
- Nidra & Yin

The ideal member here at the Studio would be the professional females, maybe self employed, looking to be part of a community vibe with like minded women, none of whom are perfect, all of whom are beautifully human.

Most members have some flexility with their schedule, They're all doing their best to move, breath and be well, on a day to day basis and none of 'em really give a crap about about branded yoga & pilates clothing.

That's because mind & body are more important.

Your teacher (me, hi, Jo) is a quirky Gen X, well travelled, creative, kind and principled woman who still gets her lefts & right muddled despite nearly 15 years of teaching.

She's also a bit of a sarcy buggar at times. And prone to talking about herself in the 3rd person.

If all this appeals, start by looking at the class schedule on the website ( www.jdoh.co.uk/classes ), noting the schedule shifts from May 1st to classes on a Mon / Weds / Fri at 09:30 & 6pm.

If the schedule works for you, get in touch.

With Love, Jo x

Membership spaces are now open for April in the Chestnut Road Studio (NN3 2JL).

This is a small, mind–body studio — not a gym. Classes are calm, structured and intentionally paced, designed to help you move well, build strength and feel more at home in your body.

Class sizes are limited, so attendance is through membership only.

You’ll find class details and studio images below, with more information via the link.

Class schedule & Memberships are now all online for ease of booking, payment and managing!

Big thanks to She Designs Websites for the ongoing support and expertise. The service has been awesome!

Phase 2 of the project is getting the other services online as well, so that's the Clinical Massage, 1:1's and workshops. But with most of the site scaffolding in place this shouldn't take long.

Please feel free to have a look at

Clinical Massage, Intelligent Movement & self-care Workshops in Abington, Northampton. Jo Daniels Optimal Health is a down-to-earth self-care service that supports your physical, emotional and mental well-being.
