Somatics Workshop (2)

Fully Booked – please email if you would like to go on the wait list
£20 includes light refreshments
Hanna Somatics is a safe, gentle and common sense approach to eliminating chronic muscle pain for the long term. It is the only sensory motor training method that teaches you to reverse the root cause of most chronic muscle pain and gives you strategies to reduce muscle tension and pain in the future.
We are lead to the belief that as we get older our physical ability declines and we become more and more restricted in our movements.
This need not be the case!
During this Workshop you will be introduced to the 8 basic exercises originally presented by Thomas Hanna in his book Somatics – Reawakening the Mind’s Control of Movement, Flexibility & Health
To book – members please go to ‘WORKSHOPS’ on the home page of Booking System. You can make payment/book from here

Gong Bath & Celebration of Spring Workshop
Nurturing Sounds at Body Nurture is delighted to announce our Celebration of Spring Gong Sound Bath with Sue Bailey
A celebration combining the majesty of the Full Worm Moon on Friday 18th March and the arrival of spring – the Spring Equinox on Sunday 20th March. The days and nights are becoming more balanced and warmth returns. Birds are singing and everywhere is starting to burst forth with life
A time for celebration indeed!
Join me for a festival of awakening and balance which will include meditation, sound healing, chanting and energy work with Gong and Drum
Our session culminates in a Nurturing and Restoring Gong Bath. Allow yourself to be bathed and caressed by healing sound snuggled in blankets and blissfully relaxed. Like Spring itself – you too will be ready to burst forth full of renewed energy and vigour
Refreshments will be provided and there is nothing quite like getting our hands in some earth to ground us following the Gong Bath. We will be making a little springtime gift for you to take home
Places will be limited to just 8 people – £25
Body Nurture Members – simply book in the same way as your classes under ‘workshops’
Non members – please email susan@bodynurture.co.uk for details of how to pay

Good News at last……
From week commencing 12th April 2021 we can once again welcome one to one clients.
If the government staged return goes according to plan we will be able to hold group classes from Monday May 17th.
Watch this space!!
Easing out of Lockdown…….
STAGED RETURN
Hopefully we should be able to resume 121 sessions from 12th April – see excerpts below from government website taken this morning (24/2):
From 12/4
“Additional premises will be able to reopen but should only be visited alone or with household groups: nonessential retail; personal care premises such as hairdressers, salons and close contact services; and indoor leisure facilities such as gyms and spas (but not including saunas and steam rooms, which are due to open at Step 3)”
If any same household couples would like to attend a ‘duo’ session from 12/4 I am happy to consider this a ‘household group’. Duo passes can be purchased in singles or in blocks of 4 or 6 and can be booked into any of my 121 sessions available on the timetable. Only one of the duo needs to purchasse and book 
From 17/5
“Other indoor locations to open up in Step 3 include indoor entertainment venues such as cinemas and children’s play areas; the rest of the accommodation sector, including hotels, hostels and B&Bs; and indoor adult group sports and exercise classes
At Step 3, the Government will further ease limits on social contact, enabling the public to make informed personal decisions. It will remain important for people to consider the risks for themselves, taking into account whether they and those they meet have been vaccinated or are at greater risk.”
So if all goes according to plan we should be able to resume group mat and reformer classes from 17/5. Hopefully the majority of us will have been vaccinated by then.
If the government does ease limits on social contact as above I may be able to increase the class capacity from 4 to 5 for mat Pilates and yoga, and to 6 in June/July (or earlier) as restrictions are lifted further.
NEW
Additional one to one sessions have been added to the time table for April and early May.
There are no sessions (including ZOOM) 30th April to 7th May as I should be away ………. fingers crossed.
Quite a few amendments have been made to the time table due to course/holiday cancellations – so you might find that previously unavailable sessions are now available. I may be able to introduce even more additional 121 slots during April/early May if the need arises.
A list of Body Nurture’s holiday dates is available on the website at the bottom of the timetable page to help you with planning:

DAWN WARRIORS!
Hopefully in the studio this year! Our lovely invigorating 6 am (yes 6 in the morning) classes are available to book now. They run between 26/5 and 23/6 inclusive. As before you can purchase any amount between 1 and 5 sessions. Limited to 4 warriors per class – possibly increasing to 5
ZOOM
Classes will continue to run as normal - with the exception of my holidays. Do check availability as Fridays previously cancelled are now open for booking.
I think I have covered everything – please get in touch if you have any questions – or just to say hello!
Looking forward to seeing some of you in April and then hopefully back on track by mid May. Let’s all keep our fingers firmly crossed.
Sending my very best wishes
Sue
February Update 1
A quick update to let you all know that all classes and one to one sessions for the remainder of February have now been cancelled and credits applied to your accounts.
The date for the next government review seems to have moved from 15th to 22nd February, and as schools are not due to go back until March 8th at the earliest sadly I can’t imagine that gyms/leisure centres/studios will be allowed to return before then.
I will send out another update following the 22/2 review when hopefully we will have a clearer picture of how we will ease out of lockdown.
Some dates are now available for booking as I have cancelled my Easter holiday – 6/7/8/9 April. We will still close (if indeed we are open!) on Good Friday and Easter Monday. I completely understand if you would prefer to leave re booking your credits until after the 22/2 announcement.
I will be in touch again soon – hopefully with some good news
Take care and stay safe
Sue
Looking towards February
Body Nurture news……….
The evenings are getting lighter and despite the rain the birds are singing. Spring is just around the corner and at last there is a light at the end of what feels like a very long tunnel.
I’m sure like me many of you are wondering when Body Nurture can re open.
My understanding from various news reports and government guidelines is that the current lockdown restrictions should be reviewed around mid February at the earliest.
On this basis Body Nurture will remain closed until Tuesday 16th Feb – as Monday 15th Feb was the original review date announced when lockdown 3 was imposed. Of course this could change – but given the latest facts and figures in the news it is extremely unlikely that we would be allowed to open before mid February. I have cancelled all sessions between 1st and 15th Feb and your accounts credited.
My holiday planned for 19th – 26th Feb is cancelled, therefore restrictions permitting Body Nurture will be open. Regardless of whether we are open or closed, Zoom Pilates will run on Fridays 19th and 26th Feb, and Zoom yoga will run on Thursday 25th Feb. If we are open then the start time for yoga would revert to 7.30 pm.
I will of course keep you all updated as soon as there is any more news. I’ll leave it up to you to decide if you want to book in for classes and one to one sessions from Thursday 18th Feb at this stage. My gut feeling is that it highly unlikely that group sessions will be allowed before March at the earliest. But we just don’t know – I hope I’m wrong. One thing is certain – WE WILL BE BACK!!! Just not sure when…….
Take care and continue to stay safe – I’m sure I will see you soon
Sending you all my very best wishes
Sue
Lockdown 3
Sadly we are due to our 3rd lockdown.
The next government review is not due until 15th February and so we unlikely to be open for business before then. More information will be posted as it becomes available.
Zoom classes are still running!
