Winter Break
When it comes to any kind of growth, self development and training - the down time can be just as important as the action.
ā
You have worked hard this year, coming to regular classes, working on your physical and mental wellbeing and staying consistent and disciplined with your routine.
ā
Over the festive period, we will take a well deserved rest.
ā
The studio will be closed for 2 weeks, as we all slow down, embrace some family time, festivities and fun, before returning to the studio refreshed and ready for a brand new year!
ā
We have put together this page of resources for you to dip in and out of over your festive break.
Winter Closure: 2oth December - 4th January

To Mrs K____, On Her Sending Me an English Christmas Plum-Cake at Paris
ā
What crowding thoughts around me wake,
What marvels in a Christmas-cake!
Ah say, what strange enchantment dwells
Enclosed within its odorous cells?
Is there no small magician bound
Encrusted in its snowy round?
For magic surely lurks in this,
A cake that tells of vanished bliss;
A cake that conjures up to view
The early scenes, when life was new;
When memory knew no sorrows past,
And hope believed in joys that last! —
Mysterious cake, whose folds contain
Life’s calendar of bliss and pain;
That speaks of friends for ever fled,
And wakes the tears I love to shed.
Oft shall I breathe her cherished name
From whose fair hand the offering came:
For she recalls the artless smile
Of nymphs that deck my native isle;
Of beauty that we love to trace,
Allied with tender, modest grace;
Of those who, while abroad they roam,
Retain each charm that gladdens home,
And whose dear friendships can impart
A Christmas banquet for the heart!

Farewell Morvern!
Morvern is moving on to new projects and leaving our little team, she's had a great time getting to know everyone and it's been a pleasure to have her as part of Kore Pilates.
I will be putting out a call for new Pilates teachers to join the team in 2025, so if you, or someone you know is interested in a career teaching Pilates email in and register your interest!

Fro the time being, Sarah, Alana and Emma will continue with a nice full & busy schedule between the 3 of them until we find a new face.

You can see the new schedule below - subject to change of course but this is what we'll start with

I'd like to take this moment to thank every single lovely face who has joined us in the studio this year. You'll never know how much it means to me!

I'm so thrilled with what we've created, and what a joyous little corner of Sherborne we have

Here's to a wonderful Christmas break, and a fantastic 2025 ahead!

Lotsa love
Sarah
