Taking a break with Bexhill

So it took me a long time to come to the decision to take a break with my Bexhill class. I love love love my Bexhill girls and it's such a joy to teach.

But you know how i'm always moaning about looking after yourselves? I need to learn how to do that myself.

So I finally made the hard decision to give up my studio slot at Bexhill and take a break.

I've recently started a new position with my full time day job where there's definitely going to be more pressure on me (eek!) and my shoulder (for those that don't know I have a pole related shoulder injury which is why I moan at you so much to engage your shoulders!) has been so much worse recently that no amount of monthly sports massages and stretches in between pole classes is helping (nor the tubs of deep heat I put on it).

So I'm trying to be good example and as much as I hate stopping the Bexhill class (as it was my baby, my class that I set up by myself) I'm trying to give my body a break to recover so I can continue to instruct for a while after! I have also stopped taking on any more regular weekly privates and have stopped training myself as well to help recovery (it's like showing how to bake a cake but not being able to eat it!!).

Hastings classes are still in action (it was the easiest one to keep up, don't worry Bexhill girlies I love you and the Hastings girlies equally) and there's plenty of spaces for anyone who wants to come to those ones (Mondays 7:30pm to 9pm).

Watch this space, as soon as I feel my shoulder is better (although God knows how long it'll take as it's had 3-4 years of poling on it after injuring it.... again do as I say not as I do, I'm moany because I don't want you to have these injuries!) I will be sure to let you all know what my future plans are.

But for now, here's a picture from the last Bexhill class where they done so well learning new moves and smashing a mini routine.
