Roll up to Pilates! (Sunday 2 February 2025)
The much loved (and cursed) foam roller was originally developed for Feldenkrais classes before being adopted into Pilates studios. In this workshop we'll cover their different uses and benefits, in addition to trying different sizes and materials. You'll learn which rollers work best for your body; how they can be challenging and relaxing. And get to experience the 'moment of loveliness' when you lie on the floor afterwards!

• 19 January - The 'C' word (Core)

• 26 January - Balls to Pilates (some of the many and varied balls used in Pilates classes and studios

January Dreaming: a mini-retreat

Come join us for a cosy in-person wellness session on Tooting Bec Common.

January traditionally was a time of rest and recuperation. These days, we're expected to leap into action on January 1st, setting new year's resolutions and making 'progress' on our goals.

Reclaim the restorative energy of winter with January Dreaming. Together, we'll connect with ourselves and the natural world, and gently dream into the possibilities that might come with the arrival of very early spring in just a few weeks.

We'll enjoy:

• Mindfulness and rest practices

• Journalling

• Gentle, meditative walking on Tooting's historic Common.

• The event will take place in the Upper Hall of Woodfield Pavilion, a lovely community space. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided.

Please bring:

• Notepad and pen

• Comfy, cosy clothes, and your yoga mat if you have one (don't worry if you don't)

• Your keep-cup if you might like to take a tea out onto the Common with you

Your facilitator: Rev. Holly Chetan-Welsh

Balls to Pilates! (Sunday 26 January 2025)
Many and varied balls are used in Pilates classes. What is a Pilates ball? Why do teachers insist on using them? Experience the 'magic shoulder release' that Serena often gives private clients in their first class? How and why can overballs release upper back tension and pain? And how can the same ball strengthen your inner thighs and release a tight neck?
All this and more will be covered in the two-hour workshop where you will also have a chance to find what you need to buy for home practice.

The C word... CORE! (Sunday 19 January 2025)
What does, 'engage your core'  mean to you? Does it help you to move beautifully and enjoy moving? Serena did her first Pilates back before anyone thought about 'core'. Some brilliant teachers/practitioners still use the term but it never made sense to her body.https://www.serenajoyoliver.com/matwork-classes
This workshop will cover the concept of 'core' and different ways of moving. Centering and trunk stability are integral to Pilates - understand the differences between these and 'working your core'. Pilates is whole body movement with different ways to mobilise,  challenge, strengthen your whole body.

WORKSHOPS - do them all - do just one.

• 19 January - The 'C' word (Core)

• 26 January - Balls to Pilates (some of the many and varied balls used in Pilates classes and studios

• 2 February - Rolling, rolling, rolling (Pilates and foam rollers)

• 23 February - Magic circle (not a group of magicians who keep their tricks secret, but the original name for Pilates rings)
