Due to the events around COVID19 we have moved the classes at the Academy online for members and have also opened up options for non-members.

They have been a big hit!

We had over 100 members and non members attend the classes so far.

Here is some feedback that was echoed by all:

“Thank you for having the online class last night we really enjoyed it, great fun, good to feel that lovely familiar feeling, moving and breathing. We were amazed how good quality the picture and sound were. It was remarkably comforting to see so many familiar faces, almost as important as the movement itself.”

“I felt so calm and relaxed after the class, just what I needed after a very stressful day.”

The second daytime session was attended by people from all over the UK and Europe.

About the classes:

  • Classes are 1 hour long.
  • The classes are mixed ability and suitable for everyone.
  • The main focus is on breathing, movement, relaxation and a range of activities to promote health and wellbeing. Some classes will have different focus areas ranging from:
  • Core movement work to improve strength, flexibility, fluidity, recovery and endurance, self massage, partner massage, mobility, ground flow, guided breath walks, balance work, rolling and much more.

Current Class Schedule:

  • Monday: 19.30-20.30
  • Tuesday: 19.30-20.30
  • Thursday 10.30-11.30am and 19.30-20.30
  • Saturday: 09.00-10.30
  • I will likely add more classes soon.

Family Members: 

Families members are also welcome to join in and have already been doing so!

Guest Payment options:

  • There will be at least 5 sessions per week.
  • Probably more as interest seems high.
  • There are two payment options:
    • £8 per class or

Helpful tips:

  1. If this is your first time joining a Zoom class please try to log-in early, check that everything works, then you can leave the meeting and join 5 mins before the start time.
  2. Voice and Video. When you join you will be able to talk with and see other participants while you wait for the class to start. In the bottom left hand side of the screen you have the option to mute yourself and turn off your video. You can disable your video if you like and/or mute yourself and just sit quietly and wait. This just means that people cannot see you or hear you. You will be able to see and hear everybody else.

Here is a helpful 1 minute video if you get stuck, but basically here are the steps:

  1. You will receive an email with a link to register for and join the meeting.
  2. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information (Meeting ID and Password) about joining the meeting.
  3. If joining Zoom for the first time you will need to download the App. Once you have the Zoom app on your phone/computer you won’t have to do it each time, so in future it will just be meeting ID and Password.

Remember to trial it early, to double check.

Hope to see you soon!

Best,
