Classes Available LIVE online Via Zoom

Dear Pilates friends, 

Due to the Coronavirus Lockdown we have moved our classes online for the foreseeable future via an application called ZOOM.

If you haven’t attended one of our classes before - no problem, just follow the ‘Book a live on-line class’ link on the website, follow the prompts to enrol in the class of your choice. The standard terms and condition will apply with regard to payment and attendance- albeit online.

So what will happen, how will this work? 

You will receive an email confirmation with details of the session or sessions that you have booked, this email will also provide a Zoom link via which you can join and participate in the class or classes.  You can either open this on your home PC or your mobile. Just click on the Zoom link in the email and you will be taken to a new page where you will either be asked to download or launch Zoom, depending on whether you have used Zoom before.  If you are on your mobile, you will have the option to download an app. 

Once Zoom starts, you can check the audio and for those of you with a webcam, check your video.  You don’t need to show your video during the session, but if you do it will help with any corrections as I will be able to see you and guide you just as I would in class, but over the internet! It will also mean you will be visible to the rest of the class too, so if you know your class and want to socialise whilst in isolation this will be a great way to stay connected. I will open the 'meeting' 10 minutes before class begins so we can check sound, check that you can see me and I you, and say hello.  Once the session starts, I will mute all the microphones to avoid any background noise, and then open them up at the end of the session, where we can all have a chat about how it went! You will be free to leave the class at anytime and I will close the 'meeting 10 minutes after we finish. Think of it as if I am locking up the studio until the next session! 

Can I say THANK YOU to everyone who has sent their good wishes and shown understanding and patience at this time. Alongside the ‘Live’ classes I am also adding more workouts to my YouTube Channel which are absolutely free so you can add to your scheduled class with additional workouts at any time of day or night. I’m building the channel to enable everyone to benefit from Pilates so please do share it with your friends and family and do let me know via messages on the channel if you have any special fitness requests at this time.

Do take care of yourselves. Stay safe and stay healthy.

With warmest wishes,

Rachel
