Winter Warmer Workshop

Second date just added: Saturday 30th November 2024 – 10-12pm in High Storrs Activity Studio, £20 SPACES AVAILABLE

Saturday 16th November 2024 – 10-12pm in High Storrs Activity Studio, £20 FULL

Create heat and energy through a combination of flowing movement and static postures. This workshop will combine yoga and pilates to create sequences that help keep our bodies mobile, warm and strong during the winter months. There will also be time to practise a simple technique to help slow our breathing rate down, allowing body and mind to enter a more relaxed state. A sequence of calming lying poses will wind down the session before we finish with a guided relaxation.

Though kitchen facilities aren’t available, you’re welcome to bring a flask of hot chocolate, tea or warm beverage of your choice along with your usual bottle of water. You will need your own yoga mat, and do bring warm layers to wrap up in for the relaxation at the end. A yoga/pilates block, rolled up blanket or cushion is helpful to bring along as well as a resistance band if you have one.

Hi there,

It’s almost the school summer holidays already, so I’ve put together a schedule for over the six week break, while the school is shut.

You will see that the online classes alternate between pilates and yoga each week. All zoom sessions will run Wednesdays 6.30pm-7.30pm:

Wednesday 26th July – Pilates via Zoom

Wednesday 2nd August – Yoga via Zoom

Wednesday 9th August – Pilates via Zoom

Wednesday 16th August – Yoga via Zoom

Wednesday 23rd August – Pilates via Zoom

Wednesday 30th August – Yoga via Zoom

Zoom sessions will cost £7 per live class and £5 per recording. You can attend as many as you like, or just the odd one. Please email me if you would like the zoom login details and/or would like to subscribe to the summer recordings.

Please note that these classes will replace the normal online classes that usually run on a Thursday evening/Friday morning – these time slots will resume in September.

It has been an absolute pleasure teaching yoga and pilates this year to all my regulars at High Storrs School, Bents Green S11. We have practiced throughout the year from cold crisp nights to blazing hot summer evenings.

Since the pandemic I like so many others, have changed the way I work and now run my classes on a term time basis. This is working out really well, gives the group members a chance to practice regularly and get to know each other and have enough physical space for comfort. I’m still continuing to teach a couple of online classes every week which are available on a drop in, ad hoc basis for those of you who live at a distance (or overseas!), or who simply prefer to exercise in the comfort of your own home. You also have the option to purchase a class recording for just £5 per class and there are some people whose preference is for a weekly recording year round – so let me know if you would like to do that too.

Summer Schedule for pilates and yoga

Over summer, I will be adjusting my usual schedule so that there’s an evening online class available to attend for anyone who wants to drop in. This is temporarily replacing my usual online classes, to allow those who normally attend my face-to-face classes at High Storrs School to join if they’re able to.

Starting from Thursday 28th July:

Pilates via Zoom on Thursdays 6-6.45pm (£7 drop in or £5 for a recording – you can also use your virtual ten class pass if you have one for these classes)

Yoga via Zoom on Thursdays 7-8pm (£7 drop in or £5 for a recording – you can also use your virtual ten class pass if you have one for these classes)

Please note, there will be no class on Thursday 25th August. Last class on the summer schedule is Thursday 1st September then we’ll revert back to our normal timetable.

Please email me if you would like to join my online classes over summer and I’ll forward you the zoom link and details of how to pay.

Next term’s classes now available to book

Details of the next set of face-to-face classes at High Storrs School are as follows:

Mondays: Fusion 6-6.45pm, Pilates 7-7.45pm, 5th September – 17th October £49 per course for 7 weeks
Wednesdays: Pilates 6-6.45pm and Yoga 7-7.55pm, 7th September – 19th October, £49 per pilates course and £56 for the yoga course for 7 weeks

How to pay: Please pay via online bank transfer once I have confirmed a place is available. Alternatively you can pay by cash (just let me know).

Drop-In Option Possible if Space

Usually Autumn is a busier time for pilates and yoga so it’s good to get your place booked in and sorted asap. However if there are any spaces left nearer the start date, there may also be the option to drop in for £10 per session so it’s always worth getting in touch if you fancy getting to a few sessions even if you are juggling a hectic work schedule.

Have a great summer!

Hi there,

hope you had a happy (windy and wet) Halloween and I thought I’d just write a quick note about forthcoming classes.

So tonight those of you booked on my Monday Fusion and Pilates classes at High Storrs school will be back for a new course, which lasts until the middle of December (13th) after which we’ll take a break for Christmas. If you have booked on my Wednesday Pilates and Yoga classes, the new set of classes commences on November 10th through til December 15th. If you fancy joining us, there’s a few spaces left in the Wednesday yoga class 7-7.55pm so do get in touch: [email protected]

My online yoga class continues every week Thursdays 6.30-7.30pm. You can join in this class on an adhoc basis or request a class recording anytime. It’s a lovely laidback class where you can do as much or as little as you like, aimed at making you feel good and reduce stress and muscular tension. If you’re new to yoga it’s worth emailing me first to discuss any health conditions.

My online pilates class is Fridays 11-12pm but unfortunately has been postponed for this week and it’s now looking like next week too, due to building work at our house. I am having my basement converted into a small yoga space to offer one-to-ones so it’s exciting but disruptive right now! I will keep you updated about when we can get back to our normal routine.

Keep warm and bright, look forward to seeing you soon face-to-face or online!

Leonie

New Autumn Timetable 2021

From September 6th, there will be more face-to-face classes on offer at High Storrs School in Sheffield (S11, Bents Green )but still a weekly zoom class for both pilates and yoga (note the change of day/time for pilates from 6th September). So hopefully, if you are a regular client of mine you will find the right class for you. Beginners and experienced newcomers are welcome, as I offer variations, adaptations and different levels of difficulty within each class. If you are not sure which class would suit you please just email me and we can have a chat about it.

The face-to-face classes will continue to be available in short blocks booked in advance. This is so that I can ensure limited group sizes of a maximum of 12 people, in order to provide as safe an environment as possible. The room will be ventilated so please wear warm layers! We will be continuing with our covid-safe routine for as long as it feels sensible to do so.

There’s still the option to drop in to a zoom pilates or yoga class on a regular or ad hoc basis for just £7/6 concessions, or pop a quick email to me and I’ll send you a class recording for just £5.

I am continuing to offer pilates and yoga classes online twice a week. You can also purchase a class recording of either on an ad hoc or weekly basis for the same price as the live zoom classes (£7/6).

In addition to pilates and yoga, I have teamed together with my old friend and fitness pal Sarah Frost to offer any of my regular pilates and yoga clients the opportunity to claim a free cardio workout! Check out this zoom chat introducing Sarah and this unique offer:

Sarah teaches her own unique blend of fun cardio fitness workouts called XO ciZe. She’s based over in Manchester, and now of course bringing all her enthusiasm and passion to offering online classes too. Sarah and I go back a long way (we were close friends in primary school!) so I am more than happy to recommend her as a teacher. Together we are offering a FREE recording of our classes to each other’s clientele. This enables us to offer you that little something extra in terms of challenge and variety. We’re also hoping it will go a little way towards lifting your spirits during this latest lockdown period when some forms of exercise at this time of year might feel more limited. If you want to try one of Sarah’s classes simply email her at [email protected] and mention ‘Leonie’s Yoga Pilates’. You will then get a link to a FREE cardio XO ciZe class. If you enjoy, then you may choose to do an online class with Sarah at some point during lockdown. Here is Sarah’s website: https://xocize.com/ and
her facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/XOciZe

Hi there,

I have two online classes a week which are suitable for anyone who has attended my classes in the past, either in Manchester or Sheffield and who is familiar with my style of teaching and knows how to adapt their own practice to suit their needs.

Pilates is on Mondays 6.30-7.30pm

Yoga is on Thursdays 6.30-7.30pm

Prices are the same as before, £7/6 students and pensioners, but I am also offering these classes either free or by small donation for anyone who is financially struggling under the present circumstances.

If you would like to attend please email me for more details: [email protected]

Thanks very much,

Leonie

Hi there,

I want to respond quickly to the latest government advice regarding the coronavirus and the recommendation to avoid all non essential social contact. So unfortunately I am temporarily postponing all classes until circumstances improve.

Thanks very much and take care of yourselves.

Hi there,

Due to road closures around the school and it being half term break there is no pilates this week at High Storrs school. My yoga class tomorrow at Union St is on as normal.

See you soon!

Thanks very much

Leonie

This year, classes will run until the following dates:

High Storrs school pilates last class before Christmas is Monday 16th December, returning Monday 6th January 2020

Union St yoga last class before Christmas is Tuesday 17th December, returning Tuesday 7th January 2020.

Unfortunately due to childcare commitments, the Thursday yoga class at Union St will not be running in the new year so the last class will be Thursday 12th December. I hope those of you who attend the Thursday evening class will be able to attend one of my other classes another night of the week.

Hope to see you soon at a class. And thanks to all those who have been coming along throughout 2019, you make my job always enjoyable and interesting!

Leonie
