Teaching my virtual MVP #yoga class online today. I love that I managed to create a Venn diagram of my two interests — we’re almost all #soccer fans and our group chat rocks.

Made an effort to stay the day right with a 15 min #yoga practice. Haven’t practised in, um, ahem ahem, let’s not go there. Good old Adriene and Benji were still waiting for me
