Good Samaritan Suite

The Good Samaritan Suite is proud to present Hannah, whose afternoon class is the latest addition to our Pilates programme.

Hannah fell in love with Pilates while training at the Scottish School of Contemporary Dance.  She then decided to go the USA to study Classical Pilates at the Pilates Institute in Ft. Lauderdale.

After returning to Scotland Hannah completed an HNC in Fitness, Health and Exercise as well as her Gym Instructor OCR.  Now qualified as a Body Control Pilates Matwork Teacher, Hannah is dedicated and excited to share her enthusiasm for the Pilates method and its long term benefits for everyone.

Hannah’s class will start on Thursday 17th May.  You can reserve a space by going to www.bristoyogaschool.com.  Hurry, while spaces last!

Students will receive 20% discount on all pilates classes!

The Good Samaritan Suite is very happy to welcome our new Clinical Pilates teacher, Lauren Welstead!

Lauren is a Physiotherapist with 5 years experience of treating musculoskeletal conditions in the NHS and sports clubs.  She is a Certified Instructor in Clinical Pilates through the Australian Institute (APPI). 

Using Clinical Pilates techniques, Lauren’s aim is to heighten body awareness, improve strength and flexibility from the inside out, and help you to translate this into your everyday life.  

A bit about Beginners Clinical Pilates:

This class starts at the very beginning, helping you to develop an understanding of your body, how it all works and find your center.  Exercises are gentle and encourage postural awareness, plus controlled strengthening and flexibility movements. 

This class is an ideal introduction for newcomers to Pilates, those returning to exercise after an injury or pregnancy, or those who simply want to up their baseline strength.

Classes start next Wednesday, 16th May.  Book on-line now at www.bristoyogaschool.com to reserve your space!

Saturday:

In this five-hour class, Kate will go deeper into the whys and hows of Raw Magic, as well as teaching the basics of raw food cuisine to inspire you to get endlessly creative in the kitchen.

We will break the day into two halves, with an hour for a light lunch in the middle. The first half of the day covers savouries, and the second half covers desserts.

Kate will talk about building a solid foundation of inner health, and how best to do that. She will discuss the most important elements of a healthy diet, and where to obtain them on a raw vegan diet. As much as time will allow, she will go into detail on the different superfoods and their energetic properties.

Kate will share some of her personal experiences of being on the raw path for nearly two decades. She will share some of the insights she gleaned on the way to help you on your journey of raw transformation. She will offer advice on just how to get the magic flowing and the miracles manifesting.

Kate’s food classes are popular because she doesn’t just demonstrate a few recipes. Rather, she shares formulas that can easily be replicated in your kitchen with whichever ingredients you have to hand. You won’t just come away with some set recipes, you’ll come away with a whole new repertoire – how to make dips, dinners, cakes, and sweets.

Kate’s wisdom comes from preparing meals for a family in the domestic environment, and fitting that in around the usual chaos and stresses of a Western 21^st century lifestyle. She knows how to make delicious food as quickly and efficiently as possible, and all the little labour saving tips which ensure you are not in the kitchen for hours every day, slaving over your dehydrator.

There are plenty of opportunities to taste different ingredients and different dishes throughout the afternoon. Everyone usually leaves very full – don’t arrange to go out for dinner that evening! There will also be a chance to ask your individual questions and hear what Kate has to say on the issues that have been troubling you – don’t forget to bring your pen and paper.

The information covered in this class is different from the Friday class. It is very helpful if you can to do both classes, as Friday’s will prepare and set the ground for the food workshop.

Kate will be making all new recipes for 2012, all previously unpublished & exclusive to course attendees. All course attendees also receive a free month’s membership to Kate’s Magic Bubble, and 10% discount on their Raw Living shopping for the month following the event.

We will serve complementary teas and water, and there will be Kate’s books and other Raw Living produce (including cakes and chocolate bars) available to buy. We are unable to take cards or cheques so please bring cash with you.

Lunch will be served about 2pm and will be a light salad. If you have any nutritional requirements (other than raw vegan!) please let us know when you book and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Whether you’re a total beginner or you’ve been at it for years, we guarantee you’ll find the day entertaining, uplifting, inspiring, informative, and just downright useful.
