Important Note - Price Increase For All Services Booked From Jan 2025

Please be aware that all services have had to increase in price.

I have kept prices lower than advised since covid, but I now have to align with inflation sadly.

All new prices will apply from 1st January 2025 for classes and appointments.

These can now be viewed in studio and on the website posters.

For any prepaid packs and services - if purchased and used in Dec - Dec prices apply. If they cross over into January, a small surcharge will need to be paid when next attended in January to align to the new pricing.

All prices will be set on the booking system to the new prices from 1st Dec for booking appointments and from 2nd Dec for class sign ups. If you are prepaying for any service to be used in Dec - contact Tanya to arrange the correct payment amount as these will be chargeable at the Dec rate.

Sorry and thank you for your understanding and continued custom into the new year. trying to stay viable in this ever harder climate for small businesses!

---

So while you are unsupervised over Christmas and New Year, be sure to check out the on demand library (access only for those on monthly memberships) or with the videos that are on the TDR Academy YouTube channel to keep you moving well!

Access can be found with these links or from the website also on the Free Videos page.

Lack of movement can be a big trigger for not feeling good and for niggles to awaken!! Let’s make the festive period and the new year a great one with maintaining your body’s ability to move for you when you need it to!

Hope this keeps you up-to-date for the coming festive period!!

I Would Love Your Feedback on New Ideas …

• If you have any comments, feedback or wishes for the new year that I can help with, let me know! Any workshop ideas, classes or blog posts - or anything. I would love to hear from you. Just reply to this email and let me know! Trying to plan ahead and bring you what’s useful to you!

• Partner Massage Workshops - would this be of interest to you? Let me know if yes and what areas you would like your partner to be able to offer you at home! Self care made more simple!

• Would you be interested in a book swap - I can arrange a book swap station in the studio if of interest. Only rules - when you take a book, you must leave a book! Let me know if this is of interest!

Otherwise, wishing you an early very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Classes at TDR - What to Expect In Studio and Online Training Tips

Our classes are back in full swing in the studio! So great to see so many of you back in person again!

To make the most of it, our hybrid classes are here to stay to assist you to keep practicing online also!

You know I always like to give you choices!

Quick Update!

1. We can now accept your £100 high street vouchers! You have to call in to use it as chip and pin purchase, and the credit can be applied to your account with us to spend over the next 3 months. Invest in your health!

2. We are now accepting Apple Pay and contactless card payments.

3. I have also updated the payment system on Mindbody, as all classes are now on the same pricing system. You will notice it is either a:

• 1 Class Pass (Drop In - previously PAYG) or

• 6 Class Pass (1 Class/Wk for 6 Wks), and

• The LIVE & UNLIMITED ONLINE 1, 2 and 4 Wk Class Passes are also still available, enabling you to practice as many times as you want!

Read along for the need to knows and some tips for training online too.

In Studio Classes - the nuts and bolts:

• In studio classes have a maximum of 4 mats at present, which allows us to keep between 1-2m social distancing.

• Masks are to be worn when moving about in communal areas, and can be removed when on your mat.

• Please arrive no more than 5 mins prior to your class time and wait in the studio 1 waiting area if there is a class already on in studio 2.

• Temperatures are being checked on arrival.

• Our wellness policy means you must be fully well to attend in studio classes (and treatments). Any sniffles, sore throats or other covid, cold and flu symptoms, feeling under the weather and well any bugs really - please stay at home and practice online with us instead. We want everyone to stay safe from everything in this climate! Text Tanya prior if you are unsure - but any doubts - best to stay at home! (First time attending in studio - complete our covid screening form online when you receive your text from Tanya.)

• Bring a mat and any props (pillow, belt, blocks, bands) with you for your personal use.

• Classes are set at a maximum capacity of 15 at present (4 in studio and 11 online at present).

• Remember that you can use the Mindbody booking system via your web browser for the full site or through the app to book and change your classes and appointments as needed.

Note - If you know you can’t attend in studio when your mat is booked, please text Tanya asap to enable someone else to avail of the place due to our limited mat spaces.

How to Get the Best From Online Classes

“Training online at home with zoom classes can sometimes feel less of a challenge!” - Is this you?!

I hear this from time to time. I actually prefer training at home than in a class - personal preference!

I do enjoy classes, but I love to be able to immerse myself in the quiet of my personal training space.

So I have put a few pointers down to help you get the best out of online sessions, here are some suggestions to get you set up practically, mentally and physically.

Practical Set-up:

• Prepare your workout space - your mat and all possible props within easy reach.

• Aim to have a quiet space, closed off for you (with a do not disturb sign on the door if need be!), even locking the door so no-one can pull you away!

• Set up your device to be easily seen and to see you sideways on when on your mat as best as possible.

• You can have music playing if you prefer to be on mute when the class is on.

• Ensure the lighting inspires your mood (bright or dim as needed) and the temperature is warm enough to help you for the warm-up in the class.

Physical Prep:

• Arrive on time for your class with zoom set-up and being ready in the waiting room with the view of your mat set-up (preferably so I can see the long edge of your mat).

• If your class starts a little late, use this as time to settle your body on to your mat - this is your time so make use of every second.

• Dress for class just as you would if attending in studio in loose comfortable clothing. PJs are great, but sometimes not as comfortable a fit for movement or as breathable.

• Have some water handy to rehydrate during the class.

Mental Prep:

• Whatever your mood, wear training clothing that inspires you and that feels very comfortable and easily breathable. Warm enough or cool enough as you require, layering often works best. Like I said, PJs are great, but that isn’t getting your headspace into your focussed training zone!

• If you have had a hectic day - allow time to sit comfortably or lie on your mat and take a few deep breaths to close your mind off to what was in your day, and ensure to give yourself permission for this time now to recharge and agree you will get back to ‘life’ when you have completed your ‘you‘ time. Sometimes our minds need reasoned with!

• This is also good practice even if you haven’t had a hectic day! Whatever your day has been, prepare by slowing your mind down and being aware of your thoughts, take a few breaths and be aware of how your body is feeling. This is your tuning in time prior to the class starting. Then…set your intention for your practice - what is your goal for today?

• We always give you choices, but choose wisely! After noting how you are feeling, work with your body and not against it. Just because we give you a stronger option, doesn’t mean you have to take it. That works both ways. If you are setting your intention for your practice to challenge yourself, then do, but still listen to your body and do what it feels it can manage within the challenge. Body and mind happiness results!

• Remember what your reasons are for joining the classes in the first place - what brings you to your mat, what do you hope to gain? Focussing on your goals will help you to stay tuned in to follow along and challenge yourself. What you do is for yourself and no-one else, so make your actions work for you and your happiness.

• Do remember this is live and online, we can see you! If there is something we need to advise you on, we will. Everyone is quieter on zoom, but if there is anything you want to ask or say -= we would love to hear it as we want to make this the best training space for you.

• If you want extra encouragement, why not drop Tanya or Jo a message. We are here to help you on your journey - let us know what would help to keep you challenged and motivated and most of all disciplined!

I hope all of these little tit bits help you to set your mind up and your space for a more focussed forward practice - let’s take charge this autumn!!

Want To Practice More Online When It Suits You?

I decided not to create an on demand site due to the time and expense involved, so instead I decided to try to create some videos for free instead! Though let me know if an on demand site would be useful too.

I hope these are of value to you. Do let me know - please leave a comment on the videos you watch. Or leave a review on Facebook for me (Facebook frustratingly deleted all my previous reviews and services - another task for another day!).

It would be much appreciated!

Let me know if there is anything I can create for you as I want it to help you specifically! Text, email of Facebook message me!

Why not join the TDR Academy Tribe Facebook Private Group - I want to give you more - so get chatting and let me know!

So if you fancy a little extra challenge at any time - why not delve into some of the YouTube videos. There is something for improving mobility, challenging your core and stability, developing strength and stretching you out. If you are affected by any injuries or need some quiet time, the Body Management and meditative Yoga videos would hopefully have something for you too.

Links and suggestions:

Remember - the TDR Academy YouTube Channel has a lot of videos to choose from for Yoga with the Ulster Orchestra, Pilates, Yoga, Stretching, Body Management Tips and some Body Conditioning. Varied durations and intentions within the videos to keep you moving, mobile, active and to release tension both physically and mentally.

The 14 Day Reset, Rebalance and Reignite is there for you to work through, and whether you have worked through it already or dipped in and out, or if you haven’t seen it - why not check it out and commit the 2 weeks over the 12th to yourself by starting the journey with me again.

You will feel better, more body aware, more mobile and challenged posturally and with movement. Get at it!

Check it out right here!

Hope to hear from you soon and see you soon!!

Bank Holiday Break & September Update

What a warm and wet summer!

Thank you for all your concern regarding my poor flooded car Bertha from the floods in Ballyclare a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully I have now been able to replace her with a new Bert! Insurance thankfully has kicked in! It's been a mad time!

With the last throws of summer left and schools starting back next week, it seemed appropriate to take a break as we just don't know what lies ahead. Busy schedules I'm thinking for the next few weeks for sure!

So the quick update:

• Classes are off from Wed 25th Aug, returning back on Wed 1st Sept.

• The clinic is closed from 25th Aug and reopens again on 31st Aug.

• Remember that you can use the Mindbody booking system via your web browser for the full site or through the app to book and change your classes and appointments as needed.

Classes Update

• If you are currently attending classes - can you please check your Mindbody account that you have completed the emergency contact person and contact number sections. This will update the system just in case (heaven forbid) something happens to you when you are on screen! Please check this asap thanks. (This can't be done in the APP, so login via the black link at the top of any page on my website tdracademy.co.uk.)

• When back in the studio September, we are able to have 3 back in the studio for classes, unless social distancing changes again. You must contact me to book in for IN STUDIO as places are limited. Attendance will be on a rota basis if numbers wishing to attend are over 3.

• If you wish to change to in studio from at home classes, please let me know as soon as possible as plans are being out in place and rota systems for those wishing to attend.

• If you know you definitely want to stay online permanently going forward, please let Tanya know this also - as this will impact on how many spaces each class can have going forward.

** Thank you for your quick communication on this (reply to me by Tuesday 24th Aug please) and I look forward to assisting and challenging you further in the future!!

If you fancy a little challenge over the break - why not delve into some of the YouTube videos. There is something for improving mobility, challenging your core and stability, developing strength and stretching you out. If you are affected by any injuries or need some quiet time, the Body Management and meditative Yoga videos would hopefully have something for you too.

Links and suggestions:

Remember - the TDR Academy YouTube Channel has a lot of videos to choose from for Yoga with the Ulster Orchestra, Pilates, Yoga, Stretching, Body Management Tips and some Body Conditioning. Varied durations and intentions within the videos to keep you moving, mobile, active and to release tension both physically and mentally.

You will feel better, more body aware, more mobile and challenged posturally and with movement. Get at it!

See you soon and have a great break.

Time To Start Now & July Holidays

TDR Academy is closing for a holiday!

The last few months have been very hard physically reacting to the COVID changes and the sheer busyness of the clinic, but also personally due to the sudden loss of my mother and moving house all around the same time.

So I am taking a break…..but as usual I do not want to leave you with nothing….

Remember - the TDR Academy YouTube Channel has a lot of videos to choose from for Pilates, Yoga, Stretching, Body Management Tips and some Body Conditioning. Varied durations and intentions within the videos to keep you moving, mobile, active and to release tension both physically and mentally.

You will feel better, more body aware, more mobile and challenged posturally and with movement. What’s not to love?!

Start today or set yourself a plan - but don’t let this one slide!

I have another set of Yoga videos with the Ulster Orchestra accompaniment coming soon to you too!
