. We wanted to create an inclusive, affordable and friendly club where every child is able to access and try gymnastics. We also have a lovely mezzanine area with a café serving hot and cold drinks and snacks too for families to enjoy should you choose to stay during your child lesson. We aren’t particularly competition focused but do partake in local inter club competitions and run in house comps too. There are however some amazing clubs in the area which are so if that’s more what you are looking for, for your child then please do message us and we can point you in the right direction. We have classes for children aged 4+ on a Monday – Friday evening from 3:40pm onwards and a Saturday morning too! Pre-school sessions are Monday – Friday during the day. Children are placed in classes based on their ability rather than age so we invite new starters in for two initial trial sessions before enrolling them into the club We do only run term-time only and run Holiday camp sessions during the 6 weeks holidays and during most half terms too! We also have a beautiful venue for Birthday Parties with a lovely mezzanine floor area for food. O U R S T O R Y . In October 2016 after leaving a managers position in the leisure industry, I set up Tumbles with just two classes. I had taught gymnastics, trampolining and swimming in the leisure industry for over 5 years and after doing a variety of roles within the sector, I realised coaching gymnastics really was my passion. Demand for spaces grew and so did our waiting list, so over our first year we continued to expanded. We were lucky enough to secure our own premises in January 2019 which was a huge positive for our club and members. With more space and flexibility in the timetable we doubled our classes and are now able to run over 30 classes per week on a Monday – Friday evening, Saturday morning and also during the day for parent supervised per-school sessions. We have a wonderful team of coaches, assistant coaches and cafe staff, we are all extremely proud of the club we have created and are super excited to continue to expand and grow as a club. We love being able to provide a safe and friendly place for children in the local community to benefit from.

Hi! I’m Helen. Yoga teacher, plant power nutrition enthusiast and anatomy nerd. I’m a lover of life and travel, trail running and surfing, plant-based food and sunshine. I believe in living life to the fullest, by doing what I can to feel optimal every day. My passion is sharing all that I’ve learned through yoga, meditation, nutrition and coaching, with others to feel their best too. I want to help you to be the best version of yourself: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, each and every day, because I know that yoga works profoundly on all these levels in making positive changes and improving lives. Take a class with me. My first experience of yoga was with Katy Appleton’s, Geri Halliwell DVD at age 15, that my mum gave me! Being a competitive swimmer at the time and completely focussed on my sport, I wasn’t impressed – I found it slow and boring. It wasn’t enough of a work out and I didn’t see the point (sorry Katy, I think you’re amazing now!). Oh, young Helen, how little you understood! Although I didn’t ‘get’ it at the time, I firmly believe that this was still a poignant introduction to yoga, something that would change my life in just a few years to come – thanks mum! Fast forward a few years, when I was 23 and teaching english as a foreign language in Japan. I started Karate lessons with one of my students and realised just how incredibly inflexible I was. One of my other students was training to become a yoga teacher and my interest was sparked. I started practising in my 11th story apartment (overlooking Mt Fuji nonetheless) several times a week to a Bryan Kest DVD and I became hooked on his Power Yoga style. This was more like it. The same year, one of my flat mates gave me a copy of The Power of Now, by Eckhart Tolle, and for me this was a turning point in my way of thinking, literally. I realised that we can be in control of our minds and that our minds should not control us. As my practice developed and I met and trained with great teachers, what began as a purely physical practice, evolved into something so much more. Yoga is a practice of the mind, body and spirit but we all have our own entry points. For most of us in the West, it is the physicality that attracts us. For some it is the desire for relaxation. But sooner or later, we find we’re gaining so much more than what we originally signed up for. It is this whole body and mind approach and the transformative effects that yoga has, that I want to share with you. Whether you’re new to yoga and curious, or more experienced in your practice and what to delve deeper, join me for a class, private session online or in person, or training.

Preserving is something I have loved doing ever since I can remember – I have memories as a very small person helping my Mother to make jars of jam ready for the Winter. I could only just see over the kitchen table but loved all the neat rows with their cellophane tops and labels. I made my first chutney alone and unaided when I was about 11 years old - I don't know what my Mother was thinking of - but I was delighted with the result and embarked upon trying out more recipes over the next few years. Preserving has been a lifelong passion and I have enjoyed experimenting with creating my own recipes which is after all, the roots of preserving in the first place. Our ancestors used what they knew with what they had in order to extend the life of food that they farmed or foraged in order to feed their families, and to survive. Nowadays, preserving can be more of an enjoyable hobby but is still an important means of making the most of what we grow or harvest or maybe find as bargains at the market. It makes a significant contribution to the family diet by adding nourishment, variety, and flavour to everyday meals. Nowadays, when we are all trying to make ends meet it is even more important to make sure we make the most of all that we can and prevent waste. about rosie making jam age 5 I now live in rural Rutland with husband Trevor, love good food, chickens and knitting (when I'm not making jam!) With teaching jam and preserve making and Master Classes, talks and demonstrations, writing, running my own Artisan preserves business, LoveJars and being Nanny to four grandsons, life is busy. In addition there are books! 'In a Bit of a Jam' is my personal account of my jam making story which began before I went to school and is supplemented with a series of recipe books on the individual methods of making preserves - and is a work in progress. We also publish a monthly digital magazine 'Simply Preserved' for all of those who love preserving as much as we do, home makers and artisans alike. Free to read in page-turning software it is a ground breaking resource for the preserving world.
