Morning all,

It was the Year of the Tiger 🐯 but was it your year?

What would you consider to be your high point of 2022?

Looking back on the last 12 months, it's impressive what we have achieved together here in the Red Ox community ..

JANUARY saw our online #PubQuiz, our last social get together on Zoom as we made our way back to more face to face events 🧐

FEBRUARY introduced #Soundscape sessions from my studio, and the first of 28 pairs came to experience the power of sound & vibration ✨

Yoga for Teachers resumed at a local school, a great post-working day activity for them to enjoy 🧘🏻‍♀️

MARCH was busy, starting with the Red Ox/MWAH Fitness #CharityQuizNight at the Goldsmiths Arms - one of two live events raising funds for the Women's Hub 💕

16 of us enjoyed an afternoon of Wine & Cheese at the Bitter End, Bromley 🍷🧀

I accompanied my niece Sîana on the last leg of her #WalkForDementia - 100km covered and a fabulous £526 raised! 💷

It was also #IndependentWomensDay this month 💞

APRIL bought us the second Women's Hub event, the 'All Your Favourites' #CharityAerobathon at Beckenham Cricket Club - in total we raised a phenomenal £2,373! 💷

The Red Ox league tables were published - 4642 attendances clocked up by 75 individuals, wow! 👏

MAY kickstarted the studio makeover - new bifold doors to open up the space and give Zoom class attendees a better view 🪟

I also got my fab orange pop up banner 🧡

I attended a #CharitySpeedNetworking evening at the Bromley Court Hotel, and won a bottle of Möet for my efforts 🍾

Henrietta the Hedgehog came to stay .. a lovely surprise and we were sorry to see her go 2 months later 🦔

JUNE bought the 14th Bromley Scouts Summer Fete - great to take Pilates to a new family audience 👩‍👩‍👦‍👦

We revisited Pickhurst Park for the #SummerSeries Bootcamps 💪

I taught private small group sessions in clients' gardens whilst the weather was kind to us ☀️

JULY was a scorcher!

I finally had the lounge redecorated whilst the studio served as temporary storage space 🛋️

After completing my Level 2 Sound Healing training, Lizard Soundscape became official🦎

The #PlankChallenge was embraced by everyone with a total of 72 entries, the overall winner being John the Gas Man 🙋🏻‍♂️ (fix!)

Our #NatureVNurture Family Edition Camp was a success with 32 happy campers making the most of the great outdoors 🏕️

AUGUST and ooh, #InternationalCatsDay 😻 LilyPuss made an appearance of course!

The second #NatureVNurture camp was fantastic, thoroughly enjoyed by 10 family groups 🌳

SEPTEMBER found the Red Ox Renegades assembling for the #SeptemberAssault with Unity Fitness in Chelsfield.

I went 'Back to the Pav' with a new Body Conditioning class on Wednesday morning - great to see some old faces again!

The #CharityAerobathon for MIND with Flin's Fitness, raised a staggering £3,700 🤩

Seems apt that #NationalFitnessDay also took place this month 🏋️‍♀️

OCTOBER launched #SmallBusinessSaturday and I hope some of you have benefitted from the products and services of these hardworking individuals 🙏

27 of us flew and sailed our way to the very first #WellnessWeekendonHerm - it was perfect 😍

(You can join us next year - I would LOVE you to be there, and I promise you would love it too)

We supported #WorldMentalHealthDay 🧠something that now affects more of our friends and family than we realise.

NOVEMBER came back with #ClubClassics 130 people partied hard to make up for lost time and I was sooo relieved it finally happened! 💃

I teamed up with Gary of NMA Training and Coaching Providers to deliver #FirstAid training to parents and fitness instructors ⛑️

(There will be more of this next year ..)

#RedOxRealityRadio launched and my 30 minute show goes out bi-weekly with a podcast back up - who'd have thought it?! 🎙️

The Zoom Express Top 10 attendees were recognised for their long service 🎖️

DECEMBER started with a Taster Day at the Complementary Health Centre, Hither Green - showcasing the magic of the crystal bowls 💫

Next came the #SantaAssault - very amusing to see elves running through tyres! 🧑‍🎄

#12TinsofChristmas was a lot of fun and had people setting their alarms so as not to miss the video reveal 🎄

#WinterSolsticeChill at Lake House near Ashford bought 22 of you together to celebrate the coming of longer days and shorter nights 🌌

And in addition to all of these individual events, you have continued to keep me company on the #ZoomExpress, battle through all types of weather at #Bootcamp, and get to grips with renting via the #ZoomDirectory 👏

There have been 1-1 PT sessions, online group masterclasses, FitKids, YogaKids and Pop Up Aesthetics clinics.

There have even been a few #chakraTuesdays and the odd #ThursDate thrown in too ☺️

Did I miss anything out?

It's been a whirlwind as usual, and I'm grateful to have whizzed through the year with you all along for the ride 🌪️

Buckle up folks, 2023 is heading your way 🥳

Happy New Year to you all,

Tracey x
