Yoga With Your Own Personal Ulster Orchestra

Absolutely amazing - I can’t even do justice to the experience with just words.

Choreographing Yoga to live and totally consuming, specially composed pieces by composer Graeme Stewart and played by the Ulster Orchestra right behind me - spine tingling!! Why did this project happen? To support everyone that has an interest in music, Yoga and well-being for World Well-Being Week 2021 - 3 videos for practice on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It took many weeks of work, preparation, practice and editing to get the final versions to what we have released. We hope you love them as much as we do!

Absolutely amazing - I can’t even do justice to the experience with just words.

Choreographing Yoga to live and totally consuming, specially composed pieces by composer Graeme Stewart and played by the Ulster Orchestra right behind me - spine tingling!!

Why did this project happen?

To support everyone that has an interest in music, Yoga and well-being for World Well-Being Week 2021.

3 videos for practice on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

It took many weeks of work, preparation, practice and editing to get the final versions to what we have released.

We hope you love them as much as we do!

Check out our promo video! A little taster of what’s ahead!

So don’t stop there….join us for each of the videos.

A mindful approach to your well being - with a new experience. We only found one place in the world online that had combined Yoga to Orchestral live music - but I have to say, the orchestra have excelled and made this an experience I will never forget. This has been one of the best experiences of my life, and I have to say…it was WAY better than the other we found!!

I truly hope you enjoy listening to the music, watching the practice (knowing that I am just buzzing with gratitude and out of this world joy), and I invite you to join me with my own Yoga practice to feel and flow to the music.

I have intended the progress over the 3 sessions to grow.
The first is more mobilising and relaxing, the second more playful and the third more powerful…earning your relaxation.
They can be what you want them to be.

Check out the information with each to set the intention and background for each session.
Then create your quiet space and if you have time, watch it through first - then get comfy on your mat and practice with me.
Immerse yourself in the sounds with the flow of your movements.


The videos are accessible on the TDR Academy YouTube page. Go to the Yoga Playlist and select the Yoga Practices Playlist and you will see the promo video as well as each of the 3 numbered pieces.

OR you can use the video links below to go straight to them….click on the YouTube label on the video and it takes you to Youtube where you can read the notes…and we would love you to:

  1. Give us a thumbs up!

  2. Leave a comment letting us know your experience of the music and/or your practice.

  3. Subscribe to the Ulster Orchestra and TDR Academy of Movement & Therapy Youtube pages.

  4. Why not even take a photo of you practising with me and post it to #UOYoga and #tdracademytribe on Facebook or Instagram!


1 Nāda


2 Adhisãra


3 Vinyasa


Be sure to subscribe to the channels and select the notifications to be notified when we add any new videos - so you don’t miss any!

Be sure to start at the beginning, as each day will progress and the benefits are best served in sequence.

Plan them in for the weeks you are off classes, or when you know you are getting a break - just 15 mins, 3 x/wk!

For one week only or again and again!

If you liked these, let us know.

How cool would it be to have this experience yourself? Let us know! We may be able to organise a version of this someday soon!

I would so love your feedback on this project.

LIVE & ONLINE Consultations & Free Youtube Videos

You can book a LIVE & ONLINE personal consultation with Tanya if you:

  • Are experiencing pain, any aches and niggles, pins and needles or numbness or any other nervey symptoms, or

  • Have injured yourself and need advice on what is best to do going forward to aid a speedier recovery.

  • Check out our free Youtube Channel for information and HOW TO videos for self care.

Make a positive step and book a LIVE & ONLINE personal consultation with Tanya if you:

  • Are experiencing pain, any aches and niggles, pins and needles or numbness or any other nervey symptoms, or

  • Have injured yourself and need advice on what is best to do going forward to aid a speedier recovery.

In a typical treatment session the assessment and post treatment advice covers about half of a session normally and all the information and testing is hugely beneficial to start you on the road to healing.

The more self care of your own body management you take, the quicker you recover, within the confines of specific tailored advice to improve and monitor the recovery and development progress.

Whether it is an acute or chronic injury, or a chronic pain inducing and movement restricting condition, Tanya can:

  • Assess you to establish what is the best current advice to apply at home to help speed up the recovery

  • Advise on self treatment methods to apply yourself to alleviate symptoms

  • Plan and lead you through specifically tailored advice and exercises to enable improvement in your range of movement and functional capability to aid recovery

  • Plan an exercise plan to encourage correct muscle firing patterns, to reduce tight and painful muscles and other soft tissues, to strengthen to enforce good movement patterns - ultimately to build the body up to aid recovery back to normal activities of daily living (ADLs) and to enable return to any exercise methods of choice at any level.

  • Provide you with the necessary tools for independant self care and body management through knowing WHAT TO DO and HOW TO DO IT.

Our main areas for online advice (in addition to our classes) are:

  • Injury and Pain Management Assessment, Treatment, Rehabilitation and Advice Sessions - this can be for any issues or injuries relating to muscle, tendon, ligament, joint and neural tissues.

  • Self Care Advice 1:1s and 2:1s (what is best practice for you)

  • Relaxation and Meditation

  • Personal Training ( in any area of our expertise)

  • Pilates Equipment 1:1s and 2:1s (if you have the equipment at home to be taught on, for example a reformer)

  • Pilates Mat 1:1s and 2:1s

  • Yoga as Medicine or Yin Yoga 1:1s and 2:1s

  • Aerial Fitness, Aerial Yoga and Pilates 1:1s and 2:1s (if you have the equipment at home, for example, a hoop, trapeze, yoga hammock or pole)

  • Gymnastics 1:1s, focussing on improving your techniques on skills like handstands and basics, including conditioning and flexibility

This is a great online platform to help keeping you moving in these exceptional times. For your physical and mental health - we want to keep you moving and help how and when we can. We are here for you.

Live Online Classes and

Consultations Available Now

Classes

  • Our classes at TDR Academy are running as normal via our new live online platform - Zoom Cloud Meetings app.

  • Our classes have been running since Monday 23rd March are set to continue until the government advice changes to allow us to open our doors safely for everyone again.

  • All classes are signed into as normal - via our booking software Mindbody, which you can access via our website links (black link at the tope of any page) to login or create an account. Simply sign up to a class on the timetable and pay online.

  • You can sign up to a 6 week pass with us or PAYG. All passes can be used within a 6 week period in any class thats available, whether 1 class a week for 6 wks, or 6 classes in 1 week! You choose!

  • You can still book and amend any bookings online, or if any issues contact Tanya on 07879415711.

  • We have spaces available - so get booking and see you soon!


To be able to take part in the classes - you will need:

  • A device (phone, tablet, laptop or computer) with a camera (and a microphone) to be able to join in, although you can join in with audio only also if you don’t have a camera. If you want your teacher to see you to be able to offer advice and alignment cues - you need a camera.

  • Position your camera (in selfie mode to test it) in such a way as we can see as much of you as possible on screen. We can help advise you when you sign in to be sure we see you.

  • Ensure you device is fully charged or that you can be plugged in - so we don’t lose you!

  • Try to wear different coloured clothing to your background so we can see you!

  • All our classes are planned without using props, but if you have any at home, then place them near you and we can prompt you to use them if we see them - if they may be helpful.

We are looking forward to seeing you on your mat! This is a fun new approach to keeping you moving in these exceptional times. For your physical and mental health - we want to keep your routine going and help how and when we can. We are here for you.

As TDR Academy focusses on movement and treatments - we are having to adapt each aspect of the services and this is taking time to update the technology. Please bear with us through this transition period!

If you have any ideas or suggestions of videos you would like to see online also - we would love your feedback. We plan to provide you with short videos either answering some questions, or good practices that you could implement in your day - to make you feel better physically and mentally.

We hope to bring you more classes and workshops over the next few weeks.

Some of our content will be free and some will be chargeable - watch our blog and social media posts and keep an eye on your emails!

It's Newbie Season at TDR Academy of Movement and Therapy

We want you to feel the difference that both Yoga and Pilates can have for your body and mind!

There are many crossovers between Yoga and Pilates and each can be useful to you in many ways. Both focus on lengthening and strengthening, with mindful movements to improve your brain to muscle connections, and they relax your body and mind thereby reducing stress. But there are also some differences, especially depending on the level of intensity of the practice.

We want you to feel the difference that both Yoga and Pilates can have for your body and mind!

There are many crossovers between Yoga and Pilates and each can be useful to you in many ways. Both focus on lengthening and strengthening, with mindful movements to improve your brain to muscle connections, and they relax your body and mind thereby reducing stress. But there are also some differences, especially depending on the level of intensity of the practice.

  • Are you aware of feeling tight muscles and stiffness, a general lack of mobility and maybe notice your breathing feels shallow? Maybe you’re feeling stressed and tense? Then, Yoga is for you!

  • Do you feel that your posture is not always where it should be, that daily life tasks are a challenge? Maybe you’re getting niggles and weaknesses, or are dealing with injuries or getting back issues? Do you need to work on the smaller muscles to improve your other training activities and boost your mobility? Then, Pilates is for you!

Remember, we’re here to help guide you towards which to try first, or maybe you’d benefit from doing both! (We offer large discounts when doing more than one class with us - approx 25% off of your 2nd class and even more of your 3rd!! Get in touch with Tanya to discuss the options.)

One thing we hear a lot is that people are put off going to classes in gyms and larger studios as they’ve either hurt themselves or don’t learn how to do the movements correctly. Our focus here is on helping you learn these movements and how they feel in your body so that you can keep good technique as much and as often as possible. We’ll help you learn when you are out of alignment and how to correct or modify for the best effect and safe progression.

We are small in size and mighty - the smallest class sizes around - with you as our focus. Our classes are suitable for various levels and attended by both males and females. We provide constant attention to help your movement practice as we coach - we don't do the class - we watch you and keep you the focus! We also encourage a bit of craic too - all exercise needs to be fun!

So, are you interested in giving your body something good?

We have limited mats available and our classes are run in blocks of 6 weeks to give your body and mind time to absorb - and learn - the difference:

Mondays:

  • 7.30pm Beginners Pilates Fundamentals - suitable for complete beginners.

  • 8.30pm Yoga - Currently Full - taking names on the waiting list.

Tuesdays:

  • NEW CLASS - 10am New to Yoga (starting 5th November) - suitable for complete beginners

  • 6.30pm Yoga - Open level (the level requires that you have some knowledge of Yoga practice)

  • 7.40pm New to Yoga - suitable for complete beginners.

Wednesdays:

  • 7.30pm Open Level Pilates (must have completed the fundamentals class to join this class)

  • 8.30pm Open Level Pilates (must have completed the fundamentals class to join this class)

Thursdays:

  • 10am Open Level Pilates (must have completed the fundamentals class to join this class) - Currently Full - taking names on the waiting list.

  • 6.30pm Open Level Pilates (must have completed the fundamentals class to join this class)

  • 7.30pm Beginners Pilates Fundamentals - suitable for complete beginners. Currently Full - taking names on the waiting list.

You can start this week in our classes - subject to space as booking and payment secures your mat!

You owe your body this time, and your mind will thank you!

Book online or for more information check out the website. Or if you need to discuss anything, text Tanya on 07879 415711. Also if you have any questions or want to know anything about what TDR Academy offers or general advice - ask Tanya!

Additional Benefits Unique to Our Classes:


Within a 6 week block:

  • Guaranteed 9 maximum in a class (smallest class sizes around).

  • You can rearrange online via Mindbody if you can't attend your chosen class (must give 12 hours minimum notice) - you can then pick and book in to attend any other class within the same 6 week period.

  • Home practice videos are sent straight to your email inbox to support your development of a home practice.

Please note, for all our classes and workshops:

  • Limited number of places available, mat is secured once payment is made

  • Book your place online and payments are accepted by Visa or Mastercard via MindBody


Some little pointers and nice bits - share the word around Ballyclare and the wider area:

  • There’s more information about all our classes and workshops on the website and across all our social media.

  • Please do share our posts and events to your friends, it means so much to us (new social media algorithms block us out if you don't like our content, or comment or share!)

  • We love to hear what you think! Did you know that all your comments and reactions to what we’re saying on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Google really do get the algorithms warmed up and so spread the word about our wee Studio!

  • THANK YOU for taking time to let us know what you like!


We look forward to seeing you on your mat very soon!

Two Amazing New Classes & Instructors Starting Soon!

At TDR Academy we firmly believe we are providing a space that encourages you to feel that - no matter what your age, size, ability or past experience - your body has the potential to become better. That we can help get your body to it’s best. And that’s why we’ve added two new classes to our timetable.

At TDR Academy we firmly believe we are providing a space that encourages you to feel that - no matter what your age, size, ability or past experience - your body has the potential to become better.  We can help get your body to it’s best. And that’s why we’ve added two new classes to our timetable.
 

Beginner/Early Intermediate Pilates with Olga Edwards

  • Beginners sessions are open to those with no experience or are a bit rusty, as the focus is on the fundamentals.
  • Pilates allows your body to function in a more co-ordinated way through precise, controlled and effective movements, through a strong central core and focus on your breath.
  • Benefits include improved mobility, flexibility, all-over strength, posture and core stability.
  • Mondays 7.30pm
  • Starts on Monday 24th July for a 6 week block at £50.

Olga’s passion for Pilates will be apparent as soon as you meet her:

“I found that I would tell everyone and anyone who would listen that they should try Pilates...I hope to pass on my love for Pilates to everyone who attends my classes. Not only does Pilates strengthen your core muscles (and all those little tiny ones we tend to ignore), and improve your posture, it also gives you confidence in yourself and your abilities with the progression that you can see and feel.”


Total Body Stretch for All Levels with Jo Burns

  • Drawing from a variety of methods of Yoga, sports stretching and partner support, this class will help you achieve longer, looser muscles.
  • The focus will be on relaxing your muscles and on breathing through your movements.
  • Benefits include releasing tight muscles, improving mobility and flexibility, and aiding recovery from sport, hobbies, work and life!
  • Suitable for any level as modifications can be given to help you find your own level.
  • Tuesdays 7.30pm
  • Starts on Tuesday 25th July for a 4 week block at the reduced rate of £26.

Jo's commitment to Yoga and stretching the body for better health is at the heart of her teaching:

“I truly believe a healthy body and mind improves the quality of life, which is why I'm passionate about exercise...Through regular and focused stretching I believe we are able to increase our flexibility, while at the same time, extend the longevity for participation in high impact sport, or in whatever your work life, passions and hobbies take you through.  We only get one body - so together, let's look after it!"
Tanya yoga flexibility.jpg

Both Olga and Jo have been teaching at TDR Academy the past few months, building up their experience while studying hard to achieve their qualifications. We’re so excited to have them as part of our team here! Jo and Olga have been committed students at TDR Academy in Yoga and Pilates for over 5 years and you may well have met them already or seen photos on our Facebook page of them too, as they’ve both caught the acro-bug and feature regularly!

You can check out some Testimonials of our lovely ladies on the most recent Facebook reviews - all 5 stars! - or here!
 

For both classes:

  • All classes must be booked and pre-paid in advance to secure your place.
  • Discounted price for block booking or drop-in rate available as payg.
  • Priority will be given to block bookings.
  • Students must be aged 18 or over.
  • If you have any current injuries or medical issues, please speak to Tanya to establish if the classes are suitable for you or if you need to seek advice from your GP prior.
     

So, what are you waiting for? There are limited spaces in the classes, so avoid disappointment and book today! It’s an investment in yourself that will have you wanting to come back to the Studio for more!  You can contact Tanya, as always, on 07879415711 or by email at info@tdracademy.co.uk.
