We will be closing for Easter as all of our teachers are on holiday.  Due to this we are unable to offer Pregnancy & Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Hatha Yoga and Tai Chi week commencing Monday 6 April but all other classes will run as normal until Thursday 9 April, when we will close, and will re-open Monday 20 April.

There have been some whispers that we might be moving premises this month. I can now confirm that we will be staying at the North Light Gallery for the near future but we will be contained in our present large studio. This means we are having to change our timetable and lose some wonderful classes such as Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga.

If you would like to continue with these classes please contact your teacher for further information:

Ashtanga – Elisabeth Wilson on 01484 844772 or elismw@yahoo.com

Unfortunately we have had to stop andvertising Belly Dancing as we can not find a replacement teacher after our wonderful Mary Safira had to leave us due to travelling distance and Iyengar Yoga as our teacher has had to cancel further classes due to ill health.

We are pleased to announce that as of Monday 15 December 2008 classes will be back to normal as Nigel is out of hospital and besides losing some weight is fighting fit.

We would like to thank Gina Ould and Zoe Green for covering during the week for Nigel as they have been a great help during this difficult time.

Due to our main Pilates teacher, Nigel Stagg, being in hospital we have had to make the difficult decision to stop all Pilates classes taught by him for the week Monday 1 December to Saturday 6 December 2008. After that time we are hoping that either Nigel will be well enough to teach or we can find cover for his classes.

Even though Nigel’s classes are not running this week, our other classes are still running as normal:

• Gina Ould’s Pilates class, Thursday 6.30-7.30pm
• Baby Yoga on both Monday and Tuesday mornings
• Pregnancy and Yoga, Tuesday 7.45-9.15pm
• Ashtanga Yoga, Wednesday 6-7.30pm
• Hatha Yoga, Thursday 7.30-9pm

We have organised cover for:

•  All of Monday 8 December
• Tuesday 9 December classes, 6-9pm
• Wednesday 10 December, 12-1pm
• Saturday 13 December, 9-10am

Please keep checking for updates or call Tanya Stagg on 07814 866 012

Thank You for your patience
