✨ It’s been just over One Year of Hatha Yoga at Disley ✨

This month marks one whole year of teaching my Hatha Yoga class at Disley, and I couldn’t be more grateful. It’s a truly lovely session and definitely the most relaxing of all my hall classes.

We have such a friendly, supportive group who show up each week to move, breathe, stretch and unwind together. The atmosphere is calm, welcoming and inclusive — and we’re always happy to see new faces join us.

🧘‍♂️ Why try Hatha Yoga with Martin?
Hatha yoga is a slower, more mindful style of yoga that offers so many benefits:
• Improves flexibility and joint mobility
• Builds gentle strength and better posture
• Calms the nervous system and reduces stress
• Supports balance and coordination
• Encourages mindful breathing and relaxation
• Leaves you feeling grounded, refreshed and restored

📍 When & Where:
Thursdays | 9.30am
Disley Methodist Church Hall

If you’re looking for a peaceful, feel-good way to start your Thursday, you’d be very welcome to come along and join us. 💛

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.

I’m delighted to announce that my new 6-week Spine Care Pilates courses are starting this week, and booking is now open.

Class options:
•Tuesday – 10:45am
Chapel-en-le-Frith Town Hall
•Thursday – 6:30pm
Disley Methodist Church Hall

Course cost: £58
This is a 6-week block and the price remains the same even if you can’t attend every session. Numbers are limited so I can give you more individual attention and ensure the classes are safe, supportive, and effective.

What is Spine Care Pilates?

Spine Care Pilates uses carefully adapted Pilates exercises designed to support and protect your back and joints. These classes are suitable if you:
•Suffer from back pain, stiffness, or recurring aches
•Have joint issues or reduced mobility
•Want to improve posture and spinal alignment
•Need to build core strength safely
•Want to move with more ease and confidence
•Are looking to reduce reliance on painkillers
•Want gentle but effective exercise guided by an experienced instructor

Over the years, I’ve helped many people manage and improve back and joint problems through these specialised Spine Care classes. So many people live with discomfort and do nothing about it apart from taking painkillers, which can often make things worse. Attending a class once or twice a week can make a huge difference to how you feel and move.

You’ll also be joining a friendly, welcoming group, where everyone is encouraged to work at their own level in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Important information
•Please book using the “Book Now” button to secure your place on the course.
•Chapel-en-le-Frith parking: On-street parking or Morrisons car park, followed by a short walk. The hall is upstairs from the front door.
•Please arrive at least 5 minutes early so you have time to set up your equipment and we can start the class on time.
•Warm clothing recommended: The halls are large and while we keep them as warm as possible, they can feel chilly in winter—especially when classes are changing over and doors are opening.

If you know anyone who is struggling with back or joint problems, please feel free to forward this email to them — it could really help.

Book today to save your place on Spine Care Pilates.
I look forward to seeing you in class.

Best wishes,
Martin
