Difficult Decisions..

As many of you know, I have been having some issues with hip pain.  This has been ongoing for a number of years and I have been managing it well, whilst teaching around 15 classes per week.  I have modified the classes I teach to manage my back and hip conditions and had a really good run with it.  It has been so much fun! 

Unfortunately my hip has started causing a lot more issues. I have seen a consultant and been told that my hip is "worn out". This is the beginning of a process with the NHS of dealing with this, which I suspect will take much time and energy with following up for appointments, attending appointments and generally trying to keep my health and fitness at a level that I am happy with. 

I have had to make the really tough decision to give up my permanent classes at Archers in Hitchin and Bannatynes in Fairfield.

I have asked to remain on the cover list for these gyms and on days that I am not having too much pain, I will be able to cover.  I will be keeping my Gentle Yoga class at the Letchworth Settlement on a Wednesday at 1:30pm and continuing with my monthly FINDYOURYOGA workshop.  I will also continue with the Indian Head Massage and be available to hire as a Personal Trainer.  Work is underway at my home to convert my spare room into a Yoga Studio/Gym/Massage Room, which will minimise the driving I need to do, as driving is causing me much discomfort at the moment. 

I will be putting a mailing list together to keep you updated with the classes I will be teaching, and my availability for PT/Massage/Yoga on a one to one basis or in small classes. 

I have learned so much from teaching the classes in gyms over the last 3 years and really enjoyed seeing you all get stronger and more flexible.  I have loved getting to know you all and being welcomed into your lives via the classes I have taught.  It has been one amazing ride!  As I said, I will still be teaching, just doing less of it and potentially doing some of my own private classes.  Please do stay in touch, as I do feel that I am a part of a community at both of the gyms I have been teaching at, and that feeling is priceless!

Please do send me a message, if you would like to be added to my mailing list.
