Just a little update on whats happening before, during and after Christmas...Yoga Nidra Evening, Aerial Hammock 6 Week Course, Yin Yoga Evening, New Beginners Pilates Class starts 2nd Jan 2024, Opening and Closing Over Christmas - Classes and Clinic Hours. Hope you can join us in December making plans for the New Year ahead. Have a great December!!

This session will leave you deeply relaxed and feeling sleep like, leaving the stress and busyness behind. You will be taken on a Yoga Nidra journey to relax and immerse yourself in positivity for both mind and body releases.

Choosing a relaxation hammock to rest in for this practice or making up a cosy nest to rest in - to aid your full release while you are taken on a journey inside your mind and body to aid deep relaxation.

Book online for this beautifully relaxing evening at TDR Academy with Tanya Ross.

This 25 minute session involves a variety of techniques with a mindfulness approach, such as deep breathing exercises, visualisation and imagery, and progressive muscular relaxation (tensing and relaxing muscles).

You can be seated or you can lie down and follow the guided journey.

The aim of the session is to help the mind escape from the stressful thoughts of work and onto a higher level of mental relaxation, giving a break to the body and mind.

Happy holidays are coming!! Just keeping you up to date with our planned closures for the upcoming holiday periods to help you plan ahead.

You can still book online for any service or class via the website links to TeamUp.

Remember if you still want to do a class when we are closed (to earn brownie points!), you can use one of the last 2 classes you attended at the end of June (accessible over the summer), ON Demand classes (monthly members only), and you also have free access to the library of classes on Youtube where there is Pilates, Yoga and Stretching classes for many levels and Body Conditioning also.

Due to such demand for massages and with available space to house additional therapists at TDR Academy, I have decided to open up TDR Academy of Movement & Therapy & Associates!

I will be providing my usual support with therapies and classes as TDR Academy, and the first new business that will be starting at the premises is (drum roll please)……….Kalá Massage, Sports Massage Therapy with James for tension relieving massages from sport or life!

We are finally getting a new booking software!
I hope to go live with TeamUp from Saturday 12th.
If you are attending from 14th Nov onwards, you need to complete your sign up prior.

{UPDATE & ACTION REQUIRED}

When you receive the invitation to sign up with TeamUp, you will know we are live!

Hasn’t time flown by due to covid and now the Ballyclare May Fair is back on, post covid (hopeful)!

You can find out what’s happening on the Antrim & Newtownabbey Borough Council’s website.

Please read on for the car parking arrangements in the town.

The big 5 & 10K race is on with the Co. Antrim Harriers too!

We have sadly had to make the decision to increase our prices. We haven’t increased our prices since 01/01/2018, and have born the brunt of the additional costs through the covid pandemic and the current price increases of everything else around us, but upon financial review, we have had to increase our prices.

The additional benefits we have provided over the past 2 years are the free online resources via Youtube and the provision of online classes, of which the recordings have been made available for you to download and repeat the class as many times as you wish. We are currently creating an on demand library of the videos of the classes which is available to those who have signed up for the yearly memberships to classes (paying via our autopay system).

Room rental also coming soon!!

GOOD NEWS!! As restrictions have eased again, we are now almost back to normal!! We are still asking for masks to be worn in treatments and off the mats, but prior covid screening has been removed. We just ask that you reschedule if feeling in any way unwell or have any symptoms of any coughs/colds/flu/covid. We want to stay open to keep helping you and if we end up feeling unwell we have to close! Apart from that - we are back to using all equipment, props and space! Hope to see you soon!

We would love it ion you could leave us a Google and Facebook review! In return, we have a free video for your to get stuck into to be good to yourself. It is a combination of Yoga and stretching to leave you feeling open and ready for whatever you have planned this weekend!

E-Gift Vouchers available online instantly. Christmas opening/closing. Free Youtube videos & Facebook group support.

Whilst listening to a podcast on neurodynamics, and reflecting on the many conversations i have in the clinic and in classes, and the myths that are sometimes spread on social media in response to fads and to 1 research study on 17 people (so of course this applies to everyone and everything 🤦‍♀️) that the take away points are often misled in a person’s personal situation.🤷‍♀️
I have studied for many years and fads come and go and research that says one thing, well if you keep reading you will find another research study that says the opposite! It makes it hard for people to discern what to do and what not to do.🤷‍♂️

Why do you stretch??

Our classes are back in full swing in the studio! So great to see so many of you back in person again!

To make the most of it, our hybrid classes are here to stay to assist you to keep practicing online also!

You know I always like to give you choices!

Read along for the need to knows and some tips for training online too.

You can apply for your £100 card any time between now and Monday 25th October, and use it to support local stores and services, including TDR Academy here in Ballyclare. Book in to a Pilates, Yoga or Stretching class or a Sports Massage or Pain and Injury treatment, or just be good to your mind and body with a Relaxation Massage, and let’s make a start this autumn to get your body and mind back in the game!

We currently have an opening for a number of new members in our classes at TDR Academy! The places are for in studio attendance, although we have some spaces left also if you wish to train live and online with us at home on zoom.

With the current social distancing in place our maximum in studio attendance is 3 and everyone else will be live online with us. Masks are only required in communal areas and not once you are on your mat.

It’s not very often these spaces come up, so don’t hesitate!
