Pilates at SRS

Interested in Pilates

Pilates is a form of exercise that builds strength, improves flexibility and develops control over the whole body. Movements are infinitely adaptable so that they can be enjoyed by everybody, both those not used to exercising regularly or recovering from injury, as well as those looking for a more challenging workout. The exercises promote good back health.

Pilates mat classes are appropriate for young and not so young, men and women.

I run classes on Monday and Wednesday in Surbiton and Friday in New Malden.

Classes are small and friendly! Class sizes are limited to 12 so that individual attention and correction can be given.

PILOTS - Children's Club

Are you aged between 5 and 18? Do you like making friends, playing games, being creative, adventurous, crafty and active? Do you like learning new things and exploring the world? If so, Pilots is for you! 

Here at Tolworth United Reformed Church Monday evenings 5.30pm 

CONTACT: Gillian Jones 02083934270 or email rjones@urcsouthern.org.uk

Pilots is an ecumenical, non-uniformed organisation open to all children and young people. We believe that every child and young person matters. Consequently, Pilots aims to meet the needs of each community in which it functions, offering children and young people safe and caring environments to flourish in the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ.

Voyagers for 11-14 year olds To be advised
Navigators for 14-18 year olds To be advised

Pilots at Tolworth:  Pilots offers a flexible and adaptable programme for children and young people with the core elements of worship, learning and service. It gives a strong identity, linked to a broader organisation in the United Reformed Church. It is hoped that this will help to encourage children from outside Tolworth and build a sense of belonging and commitment for our current children.

At Tolworth we provide the two groups (at the moment), Deckhands (aged 5-6) and Adventurers (aged 7-11).

Pilots has been in existence since 1936 and believes that children and young people matter. Therefore, Pilots gives local churches the chance to share the love of God in the ongoing life of Jesus Christ by inviting children and young people on an exciting journey

Why Pilots

  • Enables self-discovery in a fun, secure environment
  • Gives an opportunity to respond to God
  • Is rooted in the world-wide church
  • Helps children and young people to grow in the Christian faith

History

John Williams was a missionary and with his wife Mary went out to the islands in the South Pacific to take the Christian message.  They spent many years travelling among the islands speaking about Jesus and helping people, but often encountered great danger.  John was eventually murdered.  In 1936 the London Missionary Society invited children all over Britain to save their ship halfpennies and contribute to buying a ship in John’s memory so that his work could continue.  Several ships were bought in this way and the organisation Pilots came into being.

Trefoil Guild

Trefoil Guild is a branch of Girlguiding and its members agree to support the guiding ethos – including the pledge to help other people. Many members pass on their skills and knowledge to local guiding units, from helping Brownies work towards a badge to preparing older girls for a camping adventure. Many members are unit leaders or helpers in Girlguiding units.

Whether you’re involved in guiding or not, Trefoil Guild is a wonderful opportunity to meet like-minded people to share your next adventure – whatever that might be!

But it’s not all about the girls – there are plenty of opportunities for members to try something new, take on a new personal challenge and escape the daily routine. The best thing is that what you do is up to you!

In Trefoil Guild, women and men aged 18+ make new friends, travel, explore, serve their communities and help Guiding (and Scouting) thrive across the UK!

Across the UK, there are over 1,100 Trefoil Guilds with over 20,000 members – some meet every week, others less frequently, perhaps in the evening or in the afternoon.

A Guiding interest and support group for adults meeting in Tolworth and Berrylands meets on the first Thursday of each month at 2pm.

Yoga Hannah.Yoga classes

Vinyasa Flow / Rise & Flow (Live classes in Surbiton & Tolworth) – Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic style of yoga practice that links movement to breath through a flowing sequence of poses, leaving you feeling refreshed, nourished and relaxed. Vinyasa literally translates as ‘Consciousness in motion’ with ‘Vin’ meaning ‘To place’ and ‘Yasa’ meaning ‘In a special way.’ Set to a flowing music playlist; these classes are designed to help you strengthen, lengthen and balance your body whilst calming and settling your mind.

Restorative Yoga (Online) – Restorative yoga is a restful floor-based practice, where we use props and blankets to support the body in longer holds. Classes include just 5 or 6 postures designed to gently stretch and open the body whilst allowing the muscles to deeply relax. These classes help to support you in finding a deeply restorative state to help you rest and repair and bring you out of a ‘fight or flight’ mode and into your resting parasympathetic nervous system. Perfect if you are looking for something a little more soothing.

Private | one-to-one – One-to-one classes are a great way to deepen your practice and explore your body/mind within a held and nurturing space. Whether you are looking to understand your own movement habits, or would simply like to refine and improve your technique; a one-to-one class can be a great place to start. I am currently offering 60 or 90 -minute one-to-one sessions where we will move through a specifically tailored Asana sequence designed to meet your personal inquiries and investigations. These sessions can be held in person in rented space; or delivered via Zoom.

If you are interested in booking a one to one session please reach out to : info@hannah.yoga
