Mark has an outstanding career as a teacher to primary age children. He graduated from his BEd (Bachelor of Education) degree with first class honours – the highest achievable grade. He then successfully completed a PhD in education, specialising in the ways children learn. As you can tell, he is very committed to providing the very highest level of education possible. His achievements were recognised by a very prestigious private school in Cheltenham, where he currently teaches students in year 1. However, qualifications by themselves don’t make an outstanding teacher and Mark understands and appreciates that children need a safe and friendly environment in which to learn. This attitude has made him a firm favourite amongst his pupils, and helps him to ensure that children want to learn. Outside of his work life Mark is very much a family man. He has 4 children and has been married for over 30 years. He enjoys running, reading, watching rugby and playing skittles in his home town of Gloucester.

accessible yoga with sarah

Hi, my name’s Sarah! My pronouns are they/she and I’m currently based in Cheltenham (UK) where I live with my partner. I’ve been practicing yoga for just over 6 years and I immediately fell in love with the practice. Whether it was the physical benefits from my asana (posture) practice, or the mental benefits from pranayama (breath work) and meditation, yoga changed my life (I realise how incredibly cheesy and cliché that sounds, but it’s true!)I completed my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2019 – the experience was incredible and it completely changed my personal practice and influenced the practices I want to share. My goal is to teach yoga which is accessible for everybody – regardless of ability, age, gender, or background. I want to create classes & workshops that are gender neutral, suitable for people who are neurodiverse, accessible for all physical abilities and free of diet culture. As well as my 200 hour training, I’ve also completed Accessible Yoga training and my 85 hour Pregnancy and Post-Natal Yoga Teacher Training. I’m now also in the process of working through my 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training. You can find out more about that on my Qualifications & Development page. Hi, I’m Sarah (they/she). I want to improve people’s lives by sharing the benefits of yoga – whether that’s by allowing rest, reducing stress or through movement. I offer accessible yoga classes, including mat-based yoga, chair yoga, bed yoga, pregnancy yoga, and restorative yoga – to enable anyone to practice yoga. My style of teaching is centred around giving you choice and autonomy in your practice. I’ll guide you through a sequence but give you a variety of options so you can find what feels right for your body. A lot of people think that yoga is what you see on social media: flexibility, handstands on beaches and contorting yourself into pretzel shapes, but it’s not! It’s about finding stillness in your mind and connecting with your body and breath. In an age where everything feels like it’s go-go-go, I genuinely believe that everyone deserves to find some rest and stillness. If you, or someone you know, is interested in practicing with me, or learning more, please use the links below to access further information!

Hello – I’m Jonathan Pollinger, a freelance social media trainer and I’m here to help you love social media as much as I do. Social media can make a huge difference to your business or organisation as they can help achieve your objectives. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok can raise awareness of your business or charity, help you to attract more customers, as well as boost sales and profits. MY BACKGROUND I’ve been working as a social media trainer providing straightforward, practical training for small businesses and charities since 2009…before social media for business was a thing! Before that I’d always been interested in bringing people together using technology, just as social media does today. It’s my speciality and my passion – and I’ve over 110 testimonials on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanpollinger/] to prove it. Over the past twelve years, I’ve worked with small businesses, PR and social media agencies, charities, an MP, local government, business owners, other freelancers and more recently social media influencers. As well as training I provide social media services to B2B businesses via Boost Social Agency [https://boostsocial.agency/]. In November 2022 I launched Pollinger Social Club [https://ko-fi.com/pollingersocial/tiers] for those who want ad hoc social media advice and reporting on a regular basis. Recognising that AI is going to play a huge role in marketing, in June 2023 I launched Power your marketing with ChatGPT and AI [https://www.nilc.co.uk/courses/business-skills/artificial-intelligence/power-your-marketing-with-chatgpt-and-ai/] via NILC. JONATHAN POLLINGER – SOCIAL MEDIA TRAINER’S TESTIMONIALS “Jonathan combines precise technical expertise with a tolerant and humane approach towards those of us who have been a little slow on the uptake with new media.” Martin Horwood [https://blog.martinhorwood.net/wp/], Former MP for Cheltenham. “I’ve been blown away by the number of business enquiries I’ve received from Twitter since my training with Jonathan. Brilliant!” Sarah Townsend [https://www.sarahtownsendeditorial.co.uk/], Sarah Townsend Editorial Limited “The training was fantastic – very much targeted towards our team and what we do, so we didn’t waste time with things that we already knew.” Jo Evans [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jo-evans-2427a536/], Degreeplus Manager, University of Gloucestershire If I’m not providing training, I’ll probably be out running around Cardiff Bay. I love running the roads and taking part in races as it helps keep me fit and gives me energy. There can’t be many sports where you can continue to improve at my age! A bridge is known locally as ‘Pollinger Bridge’ as I run over it so often. In 2012 I co-founded Laptop Friday, a co-working and networking event, which takes place regularly in Gloucestershire and Devon. Find out how I helped NameTags4U grow their Facebook followers from zero to 48,000, and how a post I created reached 130,000 likes: NameTags4U – Facebook Marketing Case Study [https://www.dropbox.com/s/a6bh52rd4tpztso/NameTags4U_casestudy.pdf?dl=0] (pdf) Learn how I helped freelance marketing copywriter Sarah Townsend @STEcopywriting [https://twitter.com/stecopywriting] grow her Twitter followers from 27 in 2015 to over 7,650 today: Sarah Townsend Editorial – Twitter Marketing Case Study [https://www.dropbox.com/s/8urylo3qxph27u4/Sarah_Townsend_Editorial_case_study.pdf?dl=0] (pdf)

the chunky needle

Cheltenham

Thanks for stopping by The Chunky Needle. I’m Courtney and I'm the chunky-junkie holding those colossal knitting needles! I first started knitting in the late 1980s and took up chunky knitting 20 years ago. I started knitting very long chunky scarves and have grown to love knitting super chunky blankets and homeware using the best merino wool available. The Chunky Needle has been trading since 2018. Chunky knitting appeals to me as the finished product is so unusual and dramatic. Friends and family always ask, "where did you get that?! I want one too!" The process takes less time than conventional knitting, so results can be seen quickly, and who doesn't want that?! Working with unspun merino wool is a dream as it's so incredibly soft and tactile and the colour range is vast. The whole process is actually quite hypnotic and incredibly relaxing. I started The Chunky Needle as I loved the look, colour, texture and aesthetic that chunky knits can bring to a room. I was inspired to pick up my needles and develop a homeware brand that is both luxurious and affordable. Each piece is made by me alone with love, attention and care. I hope you'll adore your Chunky Needle knit as much as I loved making it.
