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.

• 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!

New Beginners Pilates Class Starting 26th September!

New Beginners Pilates Class

We have a new Pilates Beginners 6 week class starting on Thursday 26th September at 11am (subject to numbers).

• This class is suitable for anyone that is new to Pilates or is wanting to recap their fundamentals.

• We also cater for those suffering from injuries and back pain, and are post natal (6wks post natural birth and 12wks post C-Section).

• It’s at the perfect time to get sorted in your mornings, kids to school, do the shop run and then take an hour for yourself before hitting life again!

• We plan for 6 weeks to ensure you learn each Pilates fundamental and have time to learn and feel the difference of the Pilates Method.

You can sign up online by clicking on the link below, as mats are only reserved once the class passes are purchased.

The 6 week class pass is £53 for the smallest and most personalised classes you will find in Ballyclare and we offer catch classes if life gets in the way within the 6 weeks and some online support to help you with home practice to deepen the benefits.

Hope you can join us to start your Pilates journey and feel the benefits.

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.  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!"

---

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.
