Even the painters and decorators can’t help doing a bit of yoga while working! Here is the very talented Megan (who is also a hair dresser), working on making our coffee counter beautiful. What a fabulous Malasana Squat, great posture, heels down and totally at ease while she is painting. Her workmate Tammy is somewhere in the background working hard too! Big thanks for their hard work making our new spaces fresh and welcoming :-)

Meet the new Italian member of our team: Signora Spaziale.
It’s been an exciting week as more things start to come together! One of the MOST important decisions of all…..The coffee machine. Like everything else, this has been researched a huge amount! Why this model?
- electronic temperature regulation
- programmable coffee doses for consistent coffee
- 10 litre boiler
- two brewing groups
The grinders are the next huge decision !

Plunge is here! Hoping to get two so that it’s possible for fun side by side plunging, but currently they are out of stock. Anyway, I reckon two people can get in there - I tested it out and can confirm, just need to do a Malasana squat or hug your knees to your chest :-)
The Urban Ice Tribe plunge has a proper filtration system that circulates the water and removes dirt. No dirty plunging for us!!! At launch we won’t have the water cooling system yet, but given it will be December we prob won’t need that anyway!
Sauna is coming on very nicely indeed. Excited to sauna and plunge after lifting weights, after practising yoga, before drinking coffee (and hydrating) - aiming for Christmas opening for the sauna, and yes it’s open to all. We are still considering the pricing model but will certainly have communal drop in, whole space private bookings, and memberships….

New weights benches have arrived for our new strength room - opening soon. Carefully selected for quality, size, durability!

The week's new class theme.....Glute Force!
Our glutes are some of the biggest and most powerful muscles in the body, responsible for driving us forwards, stabilising our pelvis, supporting our hips and helping us balance.
So this week we're giving them some serious love and attention, pairing strengthening work with deep stretches to build both strength and mobility.
Expect some familiar postures alongside a few feisty challenges, including a transition from Warrior 3 into a pistol squat, which demands not just strong glutes but powerful quads, active hip flexors, ankle mobility, balance and plenty of control! We'll work these muscles from different angles, challenging them to both contract and lengthen. It's a feisty one, but your hips, legs and backside will thank you!

Exciting news in Torcross, not only are boulders due to arrive tomorrow for sea defences but also, our sauna benches are taking shape!!
The amazing duo Colin and Muffy are building the benches to Nick’s very detailed and well researched design specification!

A little teaser about our sauna…
- it’s built to exacting Finnish standards to give the best experience of Löyly (the Finnish term for the sensation of warmth that washes over you from the steam and heat produced when water is poured over hot stones
- the benches themselves are made from high quality thermo alder
- the top benches are designed for sitting 1m off the floor with good headroom below the 2.1m ceiling
- the bottom bench is for your feet and at 60cm is around the height of the top of the hot stones (which is as it should be!)
- the sauna is capacity 8, which means 8 can sit on the top bench. The bottom bench is supposed to be for feet! (But of course it’s useful to move down there if you want to be cooler).

Why is the bench height so important? So that when you sit on the top the WHOLE of your body is above the height of the hot stones and your whole body enjoys that warmth ! No cold feet thanks !!!!

I love yoga. You all know I do!!!
BUT......I have been asking a new question lately: Does yoga build ALL the strength we need to carry us into our 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond? It definitely gives us crucial things such as flexibility, mobility, balance, coordination, body awareness and certain kinds of strength. However, it does not always provide a progressively increasing challenge to every muscle group.

Over the coming weeks I am going to share what I have learned about the different kinds of strength, why we need them all, and what else we can do to get strong, (you all know I love to keep learning....)

It's not just coffee and sauna coming to Start Bay Studio....watch this space :-)
