Many of our trees are gone but look at that sky. Amazing.

Newsie: you CAN heat water for coffee using tea lights.

Also, I have played 10,000 games of solitaire. Many by candlelight. I’ve won 2.

Grateful for this island and my community here. Grateful for the islander spirit and the beautiful day we had yesterday to start cleaning up.

Cel service is off and on and power and water are off and off. I’ll check in with you when I can - so if you sent a text or a message and you didn’t hear from me - it’s not you it’s Fiona. Be patient. I’ll check in soon!

Strong, amazing, fierce. The best group of badass hummingbirds you’ll ever meet.

Update From KK Hello Hummingbirds! It's taken me a while to figure out how to write this email. First of all, I want to say how much I love and appreciate every single one of you for your dedication and hard work during the past two years. Charm School has really been a very special place where truly special peopl...

Hello hummingbirds. Thank you for your patience while I do some school stuff this week and next. I hope you are all able to join in on Tuesdays fusion class! Things will start getting back to normal after Friday, I'm in the HOME STRETCH and I'm doing my best to keep my self care in check. While that always includes exercise, it sometimes can't include teaching exercise - and so I again appreciate your patience. SPEAKING OF self care, I wanted to point out a super amazing self-care challenge being offered by The Wellness Institute. I encourage all of you to check it out and register (before Monday) if you think it would be helpful to you. xxoo

UPCOMING SCHEDULE Hello Hummingbirds! Happy Lunar New Year! If January didn't kickstart your dream 2022, then let me be the first to tell you that you are not alone, and with each month, week, day, and hour we get a new chance to start. Spoiler alert: there's a huge "but" coming up... Please also remember, things are...

Sculpt and Strengthen on Saturday morning 10 AM CST is going to be so delicious, and for those of you who recognize this image - you may want to also get signed up for Sunday Strength. No, the 11 minute version of that song won't be the challenge. You're welcome in advance.

💋

While Thursday nights are usually about dance party, this week we are switching it up a bit and doing a Fusion class. If you've never tried it, think of it is a small little bite sized taste of all the classes we offer here at Charm School. A little dance-y warm up, onto some toning, then moving onto the mat in the second half for some barre-inspired moves and a super juicy cool down/stretch.

All levels are welcome, no one doesn't like this class, and it's a great way to move in different ways, which is what we're all about here.

See you at 7PM CST. If you need help registering, send me a note and I will hook you up!

Happy New Year Hummingbirds!

Happy New Year! Happy New Year Hummingbirds! I wanted to wish each and every one of you a happiest of happy new years and all the best in the next season. 2022 is now upon us. If you are, right now, thinking about what your resolutions will be - might I be so bold as to suggest the following little unsolicited piec...

Thursday Night Dance Party is being reimagined this week. Introducing Fight Night - a 50 minute boxing inspired workout guaranteed to get you sweaty and put a smile on your face!

All levels welcome and encouraged.

No equipment needed.

7PM CST Thursday. See you there!

Schedule for the upcoming week! Let's get the new year started STRONG!

It's not that deep friends, just keep yourself moving. Things are weird for sure right now, but you have options to put a smile on your face.

Join us for some silliness tomorrow night (Tuesday) at 7PM CST.

Dusting off an old post that seems appropriate today. (Posted • )Sometimes your yoga practice doesn’t look like you think it should look. And that’s ok.

Sometimes your life doesn’t look like you think it should look. And that’s ok too.

Be kind to yourself today. Give yourself some grace. This s**t is hard. You are amazing. Keep up the good work. Do you. Be you. That’s enough.

This week's schedule is here. Note - no class on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday (for a variety of reasons, one of which is a booster shot, the other is a significant holiday for some people). Another note: there *is* a boxing day class - and it *is* boxing themed. So get ready to rumble. Love and appreciate every single one of you and can't wait to see your smiling faces this week. Nothing cures a bad mood, a bad day, or a bad breakup better than a sweat session. Get the body moving. Now is the time. Don't wait until tomorrow to start - start now. xxoo

Schedule for this week. Please remember there are morning options if your evenings are feeling a little overbooked these days. Keep moving, especially this time of year! Love you guys and I'll see you in class! xxoo KK. PS. For those of you feeling a little sore from Saturday, sorry not sorry. 😉

Grey Cup Sunday inspired Strength workout. All your favourite stadium anthems. We are going to focus on one muscle group at a time and do some fancy footwork to get the heart rate up. Join us! 10AM CST Sunday, December 12.

Newsletter is out. Mark December 21 on your calendars!

Ugly Sweater Class Hello Hummingbirds! Annual Ugly Sweater Class: The annual (ok, second) ugly sweater class is upon us. We're giving you plenty of notice so dust off that favourite holiday sweater and be ready to get sweaty in it because December 21st, 7PM CST our toning class is your chance to wear that thing in the...

Schedule for this upcoming week is here for your perusal. Note a couple of changes - no Thursday HIIT or Dance Party this week - KK has an exam (good luck KK!) but there is a Fusion Friday on the Schedule AND note that Saturday Sculpt is a team teach with Leesa and KK - ONE HOUR. Leesa is going to lead us off with her signature sculpting moves and KK is going to finish us off with a deliciously difficult balance and strengthening series. See you there!

We don’t talk about food much at Charm School. Check out the blog to find out why. Link is here: https://www.charmschoolfitness.com/post/what-do-hummingbirds-eat

And remember: the reward for movement is joy.

Bonus Class Alert - Saturday morning at 10AM, an extra Toning Class on the schedule. 50 minutes of delicious and fun movement with light hand weights, cans of soup, or water bottles. We stay on our feet the whole time but you can do the whole class from your chair and still get a workout in we promise!

Thankful.

Thankful to be standing in my messy bathroom with the chewed up wall (thanks Norma) and the dirty towels and the busted shower door.

Thankful that I got a great workout in this morning with my favourite people even though my back has been a little bit troublesome this week.

Thankful that I get to wake up and do it again tomorrow.

You don’t have to. You get to. I’m thankful for that.

What are you thankful for today?

Also makes a super fun gift for a friend or coworker.

A CHallenge for you... Hello Hummingbirds! This is the season when we focus on family and friends. You may have already discovered that you're spending so much time flitting about (hummingbird style) that you aren't making any time for yourself. So I have the challenge for you. This is a little different than the one we d...
