Beyond Move & Lockdown 2.0
UPDATE ON LOCKDOWN 2.0
Sadly from Thursday 5th November, UK is under a month of lockdown.
Please feel reassured that we will be following government guidelines and our default position, of course, is to continue all our classes/courses online with Zoom.
We are waiting for some clarity on our one to one rehab classes and Peto Pilates. I will be in touch with a separate email or call you to confirm your sessions.
Hello Beyonders!
So this newsletter has been mostly written before this gloomy news... so I had to rewrite a few bits. And to be honest, I didn't want to do it, however, it is my responsibility to keep you informed and give you positive energy.
We are all set! One of the amazing things to come out of this global pandemic is that we offer all of our classes online! So we all know what to do now.
There is one thing we want to improve this time is that we want to hear you more. Please stop, unmute and ask if something is not clear or you need further clarification. Especially, Pilates does require cueing - we are lacking tactile feedback online so we want to hear you.
During the lockdown, I will record a few classes if you need to rewatch or want to repeat the class again. I will share it with you, please just let me know.
MUSIC & SOUNDS
Some classes are going ahead from our home 'studio and some from BM studio. I would like to apologise ahead if our background noise is sometimes filled with kids/family noise - especially our evening classes. Please let me know if you have any issues and/or any technical suggestions.
We have Spotify playlists, however, feel free to tune in for your favourite songs to create a great vibe to move. We are also happy to share it at the beginning of the class, we can send this in the Zoom chat. You can also find some of our playlists in your booking confirmation email.
