Good morning,

My newsletters have been a bit more spaced apart of late, there has been a lot going on behind the scenes for me with the launch of The Hertfordshire School of Pilates which has it's first in person workshop in a couple of weekends.

The imminent house move is also progressing in the right direction, so my weekends are dominated by packing up the house - We're really making a dent in this now. The estimated move date is now scheduled for the Friday of the late May bank holiday weekend but this is still waiting to be confirmed. Please keep everything crossed for us.

I have been busy recording all the videos for the training and these are now finished so the screen will at last be coming down tomorrow. When I get a chance I'll upload a video of outtakes to give you a chuckle.

Dianne will be back from her travels on Friday - much to the delight of Jo who has been covering the majority of her classes, but thanks also go to Eloise and Inbal for covering too.

We have a couple of May bank holidays coming up which I've added more details about below, and an exciting opportunity for our members to participate in.

Read on for more.


Bank Holiday Monday, 4th May

Classes will be going ahead providing we have 4 or more people booked in - 24 hours prior to the class taking place.

If you plan on attending, please book yourself nice and early in so we can plan for which classes are running.

The classes are:

9:30am Mixed Level Pilates

10:45am Pilates Circuits

12:30pm Low Intensity Pilates

6:00pm Mixed Level Pilates

7:15pm Pilates with Small Equipment (a minimum of 3 required for this to run)


An Opportunity for our members

trainee instructors

As part of the Hertfordshire School of Pilates training course, I am offering our student instructors the chance to hold classes at The Pilates Corner to enable them to practice on real people.

Much like going to the hairdressers and having your haircut by a student teacher, these classes will be taken by students that have yet to take their assessment, but will have had enough understanding to be able to safely run a class.

This will be a great opportunity for you to get some extra Pilates classes in your week and a fabulous way for our studio clients to be a part of this future generation of teachers journey. Getting experience teaching real people is often one of the hardest things for students to facilitate on their own so I am really excited to be able to offer this as part of my course.

The students must be insured, and will be teaching beginner to intermediate level exercises, however they are not allowed to teach clients with anything that you would require you to say 'Yes' to in a health form such as physical limitations or injuries.

The cost of these classes will be just £7 per session. Depending on the student's experience they will be 45-60 minutes long, and will be limited to 6-8 spaces per class.

Timings for the classes will vary and will be held in the times where the studio is currently unoccupied - mid to late afternoon, late evening, Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

When they are available they will be listed on Momence as a student led class. I will also list any classes that are running in future newsletters.


Strong @ Home

This is still running, and although filming new exercises hasn't made it into my completed task list for the last couple of weeks, there are many videos on there now where you can revisit and increase your number of sets or the weight you are using.

You can access the Strong @ Home platform 24/7 https://the-pilates-corner.app.clientclub.net/ Registration required first (FREE to members)

I hope to be back on track next week with a new set of exercises so keep an eye out.

I have had a couple of requests for non-members to access this and I am looking at a way to have this chargeable for others to be able to join. Another thing to add to my to-do list!!


That's all for this week, enjoy the long weekend ☀️
