Hello everyone,
I’m really sorry to have to send this email, but I need to let you know that all Thursday evening classes and all Friday morning classes are cancelled this week.
I didn’t make this decision lightly, and I want to explain why.
As many of you will already know, there is a significant snowstorm forecast, with official weather warnings advising people to avoid unnecessary travel. I’ve already had quite a few cancellations for classes, and the situation is only expected to worsen. Although I’m always happy to grit the car park when needed, it is very likely to become heavily snowed over — and I won’t be here to shovel and grit it safely.
In addition to this, I am due to travel to north of Leeds for my Pilates Reformer training course, which starts first thing Friday morning and runs for two full days. I have been waiting over a year to secure a place on this course, and it was a significant financial commitment. My original plan was to travel late on Thursday evening after classes, but with the current weather warnings, cancelled trains on our line, and advice not to drive, that simply isn’t safe or sensible.
Another important factor is that Sharon was kindly covering the Friday classes for me while I’m on the course. With the current weather conditions, it wouldn’t be fair or appropriate to ask her to deal with the car park and access issues if it isn’t safe or accessible.
Because of all of this, I’ve made the difficult decision to travel earlier, after Thursday morning classes, so I can attend the course safely. If I don’t go now, I would lose the fee, have to pay again, and potentially wait another year — something I really hope you can understand.
I am genuinely sorry for the inconvenience this causes and truly appreciate your patience and support.
What is still running:
• Thursday 9:30am – Hatha Yoga (in person)
• Thursday 11:00am – Pilates with Weights (online)
There are also lots of classes available on catch-up, covering a wide range of styles.
Online options:
If you’d like to do online classes instead:
• I can add you to the Facebook group, or
• I can send you a video that isn’t on Facebook
Please just let me know as soon as possible so I can organise this for you.
Let’s keep everything crossed that Monday will be back to normal 🤞
Thank you so much for your understanding, and please take care and stay safe in this weather.
Best wishes,
Martin.
