Farewell and thank you to Narelle who is no longer with us on a Saturday morning in the studio. We wish her well.

Congratulations to Mollie and Bruce on the arrival of Annabelle Cate on the 14th December. They are all doing really well.

Congratulations to Nellie on the birth of her daughter Tal.

Housekeeping

Sign In Sheets – Please make sure you are signing in when arriving for your class

Socks & Towels – It is an OH & S requirement that everyone bring clean socks and a towel. If you happen to forget, please let your Instructor know and we will hopefully have some spares around.

Lost Property – We have a pair of sunglasses that have not yet been claimed, along with a jumper, towels and socks. If you have misplaced any of these items, please contact reception. If these items are not claimed by the end of February we will be donating them to charity.

Class Cancellations – Please note that we need a minumum of 2 clients per hour to run the studio and allegro classes. We will give you as much notice as possible if we need to cancel your class and apologise if this causes any inconvenience. We will try our best to fit you into another suitable time.

Public Holidays – We will be staying open depending on numbers, on most public holidays this year, with exception to the 25th December. We will require cancellations for any other public holidays during the year if you are unable to attend. This means we will be staying open again during the Christmas/New Year period at a reduced schedule.

Reassessments – We suggest that all clients new and old have regular reassessments in order to get more from their pilates routine. Please see Jane at reception to book your reassessment with Jakki or Louise. Please speak to your Instructor if you have any questions regarding the reassessments.

Posture – Make good posture a habit this summer!

Good posture requires a low grade effort of your core abdominal muscle and gluteals.  So you can be doing a workout by just standing talking on the phone or waiting for the bus!

Helpful Hints:

Feet – weight on the outside of your heel and big toe, evenly distributed.

Knees – kneecaps facing over 3rd toe.

Pelvis – neutral pelvis ( pelvic triangle vertical).

Ribs cage – in line with front of pelvis.

Neck /shoulders – lengthen the head off the shoulders and broaden the collar bones.

Consult your Instructor for more infomation, or book a reassessment for an individual postural analysis.
