We are like tea bags - we don't know our own strength until we're in hot water. ~ Sister Busche When things get challenging I have a habit of escaping from the present by looking back into the past....anyone else do this too? That said, there’s so much coming up to be happy about. Can’t wait to welcome the new TT’s this weekend to @mindfulmovementcentre Pilates mat training. 💖 Sharing this practice is one of the things that lights me up the most.....can’t wait! ✨ This shot was taken during my last trip to Tulum by the amazing @meaghan_ogilvie Check her out for more amazing images. ✨🙏 #mindfulmovement #bepresent #tulum #pilatesteachertraining #gettingbetterallthetime

Going back to basics.....like my good friend KCS says "The way we do anything, is the way we do everything." Super slow and methodical hip rolls to work on the articulation of my back and spine. Doing them on the reformer with a little bit of height for the feet, gives me more feedback about where my 'sticky' parts are. Working through it a little at a time...... #mindfulmovement #mindfulmondays #gettingbacktoit #practiceandalliscoming #backisfeelingbetterish #kanchosquote

I've been MIA on social media for the last few months. This summer was a tough one for me..... I wasn't posting, as I didn't feel like being disingenuous and 'pretending to have my shit together', nor did I feel inclined to share everything going on. The overwhelm was real! I finally feel like I'm getting to the other side....my body is healing and I'm getting back on track with moving, teaching and @mindfulmovementcentre stuff. (To those of you who knew about it, that weird virus affecting my back didn't end of being Lyme's, RA or meningitis. They still don't know what it is, but after 3 months it seems to be getting better, phew!) I learned that caregiver burnout is a thing, which I never really knew or appreciated before....I'm so grateful to be able to be there for my dad, but am also trying to find balance so that I can still be fully present and my best self when I'm caring for him.....for all of the caregivers out there, I hear you, and am sending you strength, resilience and love. Looking forward to connecting with everyone again....xoxo #missedyouall #challengingsummer #mindfulmovement #gettingbetterallthetime #sendinglove

I’m all about continuing ed.....formal or informal, nose in a book, listening to podcasts, self exploration or taking part in a training.

“A true conservationist is a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children.” —John James Audubon Happy Earth Day! Is anyone getting involved in any special activities to help clean up our planet today? I’m heading to @mindfulmovementcentre for a special Essentrics class with @what_would_jeff_do at noon and then teaching a Restorative Yoga workshop at 2pm where proceeds will go to the @davidsuzukifdn 🌏✨🌍✨🌎 My workshop is full, but there’s still some spots left in Essentrics if you’d like to move for a good cause! #mindfulmovement #earthday2018 #motherearthlover

"Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you." ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne Happiness is a walk on a sunny day after so many days of ice/rain/snow/grey.
