Live Online Classes and

Consultations Available Now

Classes

• Our classes at TDR Academy are running as normal via our new live online platform - Zoom Cloud Meetings app.

• Our classes have been running since Monday 23rd March are set to continue until the government advice changes to allow us to open our doors safely for everyone again.

• All classes are signed into as normal - via our booking software Mindbody, which you can access via our website links (black link at the tope of any page) to login or create an account. Simply sign up to a class on the timetable and pay online.

• You can sign up to a 6 week pass with us or PAYG. All passes can be used within a 6 week period in any class thats available, whether 1 class a week for 6 wks, or 6 classes in 1 week! You choose!

• You can still book and amend any bookings online, or if any issues contact Tanya on 07879415711.

• We have spaces available - so get booking and see you soon!

To be able to take part in the classes - you will need:

• A device (phone, tablet, laptop or computer) with a camera (and a microphone) to be able to join in, although you can join in with audio only also if you don’t have a camera. If you want your teacher to see you to be able to offer advice and alignment cues - you need a camera.

• Position your camera (in selfie mode to test it) in such a way as we can see as much of you as possible on screen. We can help advise you when you sign in to be sure we see you.

• Ensure you device is fully charged or that you can be plugged in - so we don’t lose you!

• Try to wear different coloured clothing to your background so we can see you!

• All our classes are planned without using props, but if you have any at home, then place them near you and we can prompt you to use them if we see them - if they may be helpful.

We are looking forward to seeing you on your mat! This is a fun new approach to keeping you moving in these exceptional times. For your physical and mental health - we want to keep your routine going and help how and when we can. We are here for you.

As TDR Academy focusses on movement and treatments - we are having to adapt each aspect of the services and this is taking time to update the technology. Please bear with us through this transition period!

If you have any ideas or suggestions of videos you would like to see online also - we would love your feedback. We plan to provide you with short videos either answering some questions, or good practices that you could implement in your day - to make you feel better physically and mentally.

We hope to bring you more classes and workshops over the next few weeks.

Some of our content will be free and some will be chargeable - watch our blog and social media posts and keep an eye on your emails!

The sun is shining, bring on the exercise

As we spring into the month of May, there have been two things out of the ordinary recently. Firstly, after some baltic weather last week, the sun has finally come out, giving us halcyon blue skies and while the wind may still be a bit nippy, there’s a brightness and freshness to life that wasn’t here in April. Secondly, we’ve noticed a sudden surge in people sharing their exercise achievements across social media and the numerous fitness apps. Whether people are slowly emerging to stroll or power walk the local parks and beaches, or whether folk have been maintaining their exercise regimes throughout the colder months, we’re definitely noticing them all the more at the minute!

Are you someone who’s inspired by the weather to get out or are you still happy to curl up on the sofa and wait a little longer? You know what we’re going to say, don’t you? Get out and get active!  

Now is the time of year to make your walks a little more active or add to your cycles or runs to develop your muscles strength and endurance. Remember to be careful though - we may live in the north of Europe, but the sun is surprisingly strong. Matthew Bryce, the North Lanarkshire surfer who was rescued on Monday after 32 hours in the Irish Sea, suffered badly with sunburn.

So, when you’re out and if it's sunny, put on an appropriate factor level of sun cream, bring water for hydration and monitor how much time you spend in the sun. Dig out your hat and sunglasses - you can burn even when it’s cloudy.

Add Some Spice to Your Regular Exercise Routine

If you’ve not done any exercise for a while and don’t know where to start, or want to pep up your regular routine, why not try adding any of these exercises to your activity list.  Add them all for a good challenge for a sunny day’s walk or run!

• 40 jumping jacks
• 10 squats
• 3 star jumps
• 15 standing calf raises
• 10 lunges (each leg)
• 10 incline press-ups (hands on a park bench or against a wall)
• 30 secs wall sit
• 10 side lunges (each leg)
• 5 star jumps
• 10 tricep dips (hands on a park bench or hip height wall)
• 50 jumping jacks

You can do a circuit, like walk, run or cycle for a distance or time and then add in one of the exercises listed and repeat to work your way down the list.  Maybe you work with distances between trees or lamp posts, or a set time on your watch, for example every 2 minutes you add the next exercise.  They’ll certainly add to your day out and maybe even get your heart pumping for some of them!

As with any exercise, if you have any doubts or feel pain, stop immediately and seek advice. And remember if you have any current injuries, you could make an appointment with Tanya for an injury treatment session and with Gary or Tanya for a sports massage if it feels like tight muscles that need a bit of tlc to recover. It’s a good idea to have a chat with your GP if you have any medical issues before commencing any exercise.
