It feels a bit Pollyanna'ish, but one of the joys of doing what I do is bringing joy to others.
This morning the class was in fits of giggles as they could not get the simplest combinations of movements right and this afternoon I put on a (rather old) song and within a few seconds the hall was ringing with the voices of the ladies while they were singing as they were exercising. You can not plan these moments, it is knowing your class members as people not clients and planning the class for them, but when special moments happen you want to bottle them and sneak a peep when the world feels dull and uninspiring. If you have been to one of my classes you will have discovered that no 2 classes are the same. How is this possible?
At training days we all get together and experiment with new combinations of movements. EXTEND and Medau teachers are free to create their own lesson plans - we pick our own music and devise exercises and movements for the people who come to class. This freedom means that you may find an EXTEND teacher with a very 'Strictly Ballroom' background, a teacher with a big ballet influence or low impact aerobics. With fall prevention and functional exercise at the core of EXTEND and free flowing movements in Medau there is something for everyone. We have extensive playlists and pick tunes that our classes like (and can sing to) and have a multitude of combinations of movements tucked away. So pop along and try something completely different and enjoy a new class each week! It is so good to be back at class...I do miss the ladies as they tell me how many tissues I will need when I catch up on the Good Karma Hospital!
