I am a mother of two who is learning to balance family, personal interests and work into my daily schedule. Wish me luck :)

Can I just say how much I’ve missed my practice for the past 10 days!!! Although I still can’t use my left thumb much I was able to flow with comfort today ❤️❤️❤️❤️ The body is an amazing thing. I’m so grateful 🥰

@xavierrenart made me do a ton of weird movements today that felt like a combination of using my body to clean the floor 😆 and something powerful and elegant 🙏 I used some of his elements to unwind from my day... https://t.co/cHMHhtPH2a

I was messing around with an arm balance today (thanks @yogaandchaigirl and @yogamand) when I stumbled into this fun transition! God I love to play around with shapes!! 😊😊😊 https://t.co/XUozX0rT3s

It’s been awhile since I went through the transition from eight angle to eka pada. Pretty sure this is on the agenda for next weeks classes ;)

Also had to mute the video cause I was too busy talking to the lovely @ciarajeanyoga 😍

A girlfriend of mine who lives far from me asked for some ideas of a hip warm up she could use at home. I thought I’d share it with you too. There are so many options but these are a few of my favourites. Also... https://t.co/quv9OfnVxt

Practice is just practice. If it was perfect we wouldn’t be practicing but instead performing. If it was a final product we wouldn’t be evolving. So practice. Freely, happily and with wonderment about all that we find along the journey. No perfection... https://t.co/6gCQ0EvfNV

Today in class we practiced #birdofparadisepose #compasspose and ultimately #visvamitrasana~ all the same shape just different orientations.

Mid afternoon pick up using my FeetUp 😀

This is my third time actually moving around while #inverted and already it’s so much more fun then the first time. I’m trying to get more consistent in using this and... https://t.co/wQPgEe7wEV

I have to laugh when at the end of teaching 5 classes I try to give you a quick little summary based (not identical) on the class from tonight. But I’m so tired, sweaty and thirsty... but I guess we... https://t.co/18tpiMxQh7

The day was hot, the waves were crashing on the beach, my feet have been bare for days and my hair full of sand. It is the way of vacationing. Sun kissed, tired, and barely dressed. https://t.co/u8zxUCSPuG

[Kristy Schmekel @kschmek]

So much walking barefoot on concrete had my back feeling tight so a little movement was needed and man, it’s amazing how a quick little flow can make my body feel so much better. https://t.co/Wi7IRYT82T

Sandy feet, happy hearts. 🦶 🌊

Walking from the pool and saw this space so clearly I had to get some yoga on 🧘‍♀️ https://t.co/DPwAKFZ8V4

[Kristy Schmekel @kschmek]

Made some time this morning between packing and teaching to play with my FeetUp. This is still new to me so it’s a little trial and error but man I do enjoy it~ I feel so much more revitalized.

“Sometimes it’s only in the ecstasy of unrepressed movement that we may enter the stillness of our authentic selves. In such sacred moments, the world seems to be in step. This is why the idea of finding love... https://t.co/4nfHG57NKq

Grump? Shake it out! There’s a time and a place for everything but holding your emotions down doesn’t help in the long run. Feel all your feelings so you can move through them otherwise they can become powerful and drag you down. You have to feel... https://t.co/TEYEhlZeZY
