"These photos are an illustration and brief insight into what my life is like at the moment as a mother and virtual Yoga instructor. Balancing the chaos of home life with my Yoga teaching plus spending time with my husband and little ones is quite challenging as it's hard for them all not to overlap! Preparing my home studio set up requires a lot of time and thought as this includes: moving furniture around for ample space, setting up my lighting and cameras without my toddler immediately destroying them!
Keeping the kids entertained and distracted whilst I'm working has come to be quite a skill also.. my husband takes them out for long bicycle rides and helps with the home schooling a lot. With the limited time I get, I have to avoid the kids screaming, coming into my studio space so I can film a relaxing Yoga class before one of them becomes hungry, thirsty, tired which demands lots of my time too. Thank god for Yoga! It's a new, challenging time for us all to adapt to our new way of living. I want to thank The Hogarth Online team and all of my class participants for supporting me in this time. I hope to see you all online soon!"

Heather offers a peak into her world of Virtual instructing in the video below, where she is re-arranging her kitchen and setting up her pop-up studio space for filming her classes! We are so in awe of how Heather has naturally adapted so quickly and (what seems like) so easily to online teaching. However we have been told that it requires a lot of time, effort and multitasking! As well as performing the whole class herself, our teachers such as Heather, also need to instruct a seamless sequence with correct counting and reps on each side plus checking on screen how all of our class participants are doing. Then there's moving everything back afterwards! Heather is incredibly thankful to those that join her on the (virtual) mat and really enjoys doing what she loves plus being able to support you all mentally and physically throughout this time.
