Hi hi! I am 4.5 weeks post partum and desperate to get back into the m/body groove. My baby was delivered via c section and I was told to engage in exercise that is gentle on the core. Any workouts that folks would recommend? Any other ppl who had c section deliveries? When did you start working out again?
Thanks! <3

I could not be more thankful for this challenge. I’ve been having to deal with some absolute shit this week, and the challenge has been a constant for me to rely on. It’s been helping me deal with all these negative emotions that come with real life hardships.

It’s helped me explore confidence despite opposition, which is something I always struggle with. It’s also helped me be more kind to myself and take the low impact options in a sweat class when necessary, even though I love the jumps! Thank you Marnie for this eerily perfectly timed challenge ❤️

And thank you G Fam for the love and support and beautiful posts on this channel.

PS does anyone else feel stress in their stomach? I struggle to eat enough when stressed! Any tips to increase appetite welcome!

Sunday LIVE class here we come!

Gfam, we’re switching things up a little this weekend! Saturday’s 6/21 LIVE 45 min Low Impact Full Body workout will be moved to Sunday 6/22.

Who will be able to join us Sunday for our full body workout to celebrate Day 16 of the challenge?! We can’t wait to see you!

Hi fam! I have been out of the game for almost 2 years now. I hit some pretty intense depressive episodes and had a tough school year (as a teacher). This challenge is coming when I need it most. I have been wanting to get back to the mat, but my own doubts have held me back. This summer I’m moving past those negative thoughts. I’m getting into gardening to enjoy life outside in my relatively new house. And I’m coming back to the mat starting Monday. Wish me luck!

happy pride!!! 🏳️‍🌈🩷🧡💛🤍

gill and i are so happy to spend pride with all of you!! thanks for being the best gfam!

this pride season, some things were taking with us are gratitude, joy, and resilience. in this climate, it can be really scary to be who you are. but we have each other to lean on, and queer joy is resistance!

I just got a lovely reminder that my puggy in heaven still has a post on this platform getting likes (thank you!).

And since the M/Body fam loves our furbabies, I will share that I’m a volunteer at Pug Nation Rescue of L.A., and we have plenty of pugs, pug mixes and pug-adjacents looking for homes.

The Ewoks in the first pic were just saved from a shelter; I am the honorary pug parent (HiPPo) to the two puglets sharing the car seat in the second (I take them on outings once per week); and the last little puglet was born at the rescue along with siblings that are still available (I transported this one to the East Coast to go into foster through another rescue) — get this: a pug/pittie mix!

Who else is all about #datpuglife??!!!

Far-flung MBody Fam! After many years seeing Mayo on the community board, I met this wonderful human being on our trip from London to Osaka for a hot bowl of Ramen 🍜. She can only be described as kick-ass and is a total inspiration in following your dreams, being yourself and making things happen. We spoke about our different lives, Japanese vs UK culture, the stories of our families, to-be children, and dreamed of doing an IRL Marnie class one day. This was my first IRL meet within the community and it was a real joy. This community really brings together inspirational women and good, positivity-radiating people. Keep doing them if you can! Anyone else in the UK who wants to meet some time over summer in London?

P.S. Shoutout to husband for being our photographer 📸

I’ve been craving a challenge! thank you!

It’s already stuck to the back of my calendar. X
