January can be a tough time of the year for many of us.

The grey skies never excite us enough to remain focused on shedding our, eh, winter coats, the overspending of December is keeping our bank accounts a little trimmer, and the month of January just seems to go on forever.

Here we are, ready for SPRING and we are only entering week four of the first term of the year. January, we love the bright shiny new year you have brought us, but please let Spring begin!

Thankfully, we are mad busy at the studio so there is very little time to dwell on the above! Today, we have a (sold-out!) high-intensity reformer Pilates and aerial Yoga workshop at the studio, starting at 10am. We are already buzzing with excitement about this, as it is the second high-intensity workshop for us, and we are going to schedule a few more to get us ready for Summer! See, it is not even Spring and yet here we all are working away on our beach bods!

Next week, we are attending the annual SCCUL Awards Ceremony and Business Expo at the Bailey Allen Hall at NUI Galway. If you are around the university on Friday 29th January between 10:30am and 12noon – stop by our stand to say hi to us please!

Then the following week, we hope to see you all at the annual Hand-in-Hand charity ball at the Salthill Hotel. Hand-in-Hand charity provides assistance to families who have a child suffering with Cancer. They help provide a business-as-usual service in the home, helping out with childcare and the everyday run of the mill things like laundry and making dinners. Those of you have have suffered any type of illness will know what a huge help a service like this is (to anyone) so even if you cannot attend, please do consider making a small donation to Hand-in-Hand. And if you are planning on attending the ball, then wear your dancing shoes lads and ladies, because we asked for a few tables close to the dance floor!

And finally, as we work backwards from our Christmas break, we always have one 4-week term in the year, and this year it is February! Please make a note of this, as your new term at the studio will being Monday February 8th and finish on Friday March 4th, 2016.

It’s like we have just shed the January blues and have so much more pep-in-our step already!

See you at the studio.
