Kick Start 2025 with Pilates and Prepare for our Future

Published on 6th January 2025

Welcome to You All

The Room is warm and awaiting our return. The Zoom schedule resumes. We are ready, to welcome in our very own Pilates to 2025 and beyond. We have six consecutive weeks of Pilates ahead of us, starting this Monday 6th January. Pilates will keep us strong in 2025 and I am looking forward to every moment with you. We have Pilates at; All Saints West Dulwich, the Royal Academy of Dance Battersea, we have Zooms in our own homes, and we can be online anytime, anywhere, too. It is always possible to fit in a class that's just right for you, and at a time that suits your schedule......

The Future

I have had a sudden change in my personal life that I want and need to embrace positively and so, with six-weeks notice to you, for which I apologise as you are my loyal and much respected lifelines. However, I must announce that, from now on, I will be following the state school term times.  I will follow Rosendale School's term times and give you full advance notice, here in my weekly blog.  I know you will understand and be, as ever, kind about this decision. But, I am sorry to anyone who finds this decision disappointing or, worse, inconvenient.  I hear, some of you cry, "Well I don't come in the holidays anyway!"  Haha, we won't get off that lightly! Please note, there will be Zooms, randomly available during holiday times, from different parts of the country, and of course we can meet online, as always, 24/7.

"I have been making good use of the video library. I injured my neck and right shoulder before Christmas, lifting my mother in law’s wheelchair in and out of the car, but it is really much better now thanks to your neck and shoulder videos". (LF) Thank you for this lovely feedback.

The RAD: Term resumes Monday 6th January, no session on 17th February, last session 31st March. I am delighted to have been invited for the eighteenth year, to teach the Easter and Summer Schools: Juniors, Seniors, Exam Intensives, Silver Swans. Please apply to the RAD directly for these 2025 Easter and summer schools, but to me directly for Monday sessions.

Cue the Move: Stand Tall, in the way you know so well, 123! Go on, relax those shoulders, bend your knees and roll down using your abs to flex your spine, tucking your chin to your chest to flex your neck, maintaining awareness of totally balanced feet, find those outer leg muscles feel the balls of your feet and heels, go slow and breathe deeply and completely all the way - then simply hang out and breathe! Come up with the same awareness and invite your legs and spine to grow through once again to standing tall. Repeat and repeat and repeat xox

Fees Thank you for your emails suggesting I should increase my fees!  Extraordinary and exceptional as you are, to actually ask me to increase my fees, I will keep fees as they are.  I will trial my new rhythm of term-times and check it works for you all, and then, perhaps from January 2026, increase the fees if, and only if, necessary. Thank you for attending - the more you attend, the more I earn!  Keep strong with me, keep practising and all will be well xox

Breathe Connect Move

Very best wishes, Wendy

PS Please contact me about any of the above, and remember that anything you're wondering whether or not I should know, I will definitely want to know...........

PPS I will be in Ema's Bistro, the owner's name is Ema, pronounced Emma, Ema's is in Rosendale Parade. I'll be there from 3 pm to 430 pm every Monday. Free parking. If you'd like to join me, let me know - a quick coffee, or something from their delicious menu, up to you. It's all there for glorious enjoy-moments!  It'll give us a chance to talk about the body, mind, or whatEVER helps us laugh and heal. EV will be present too, she will give us her undivided and unconditional, perhaps also and quite possibly, her opinion on the subject!
