Zumba has taken Kew by storm and we have now added another class with Rachel to our schedule, to keep with demand!!

Zumba got its start when a Columbian aerobics instructor named Beto Perez turned up for class one day, forgetting his music. In desperation, he ran out to his car and pulled in some of his personal favourites that filled the studio with salsa and merengue tunes and began teaching the class to this music. The class exploded and became the most popular class in Colombia.

Zumba fuses hypnotic musical rhythms and tantalising moves to create a dynamic workout system designed to be fun and effective  and you'll quickly lose yourself in the pulsing Latino beat forgetting how hard you’re working and how many calories you’re burning.

It’s like nothing you’ve ever done before and you’ll absolutely love it! Doing a Zumba class has been described as ‘Prozac in disguise’ because it boosts your self-esteem and confidence, building that elusive feel good factor.

Come and join the party on a Monday or Thursday morning at 9:30am! Spaces are limited, so make sure you call us to book your space early on 020 8940 0888 or info@earth-life.co.uk.

Having worked in Kew for the last 3 years as a Beauty Therapist and practising as a Dr Hauschka esthetician, many people will already be familiar with Paulette and her natural approach to beauty.

She uses only products that have the purest, natural ingredients, working with the skins natural rhythm to heal and balance itself.

Paulette says “Skin becomes stressed when bombarded with chemicals and understandably ages faster as a result” she believes it is the method of application, as well as the content of the products that assists the skin to feel replenished and restored - leaving the client with a healthy glow.  

It’s important to Paulette that all her clients leave the treatment room feeling cared for and acknowledged fully. With 20 years of experience under her belt and her training in many other therapies she brings a wealth of understanding and wisdom to her treatments.

Paulette is available for Beauty Treatments on Wednesday's 10:00-16:00 and every other Saturday from 10:00-17:00. To book your appointment, please contact Earthlife on 020 8940 0888 or info@earth-life.co.uk

Top Tip for reviving tired
and sore feet:

Get yourself a tennis ball. Put the ball on the floor and place the arch of your foot over the top of it. Now roll the ball, with your foot, forwards and backwards. Do this for three minutes on the right foot and then repeat with the left foot. As well as relieving tension, rolling your bare foot over a golf or tennis ball can also stretch and strengthen foot muscles. For more severe problems call us to make an appointment with our Podiatrist.
 

We are very sad to let you know that Kay Johnson has decided to semi- retire as a Lotte Berk instructor, but fear not - we have found 2 great instructors who have taken over her classes.

On Monday evenings we have Teresa Allen, who has been teaching for 18 years – she teaches a tough class and will make sure those bottoms are lifted and waists getting smaller.

The Thursday morning class has been changed to Zumba, but the Friday lunchtime class is still going strong at 13:00 with Robert Clarke – yes, a male instructor! Robert is an ex-professional ballet dancer, who trained in the Lotte Berk Method 10 years ago and teaches mainly at the Lotte Berk Studio in Fulham.

There are still a few spaces available in each of the Lotte Berk classes and to book your space, please contact Earthlife on 020 8940 0888 or info@earth-life.co.uk.
