I did it!
I completed a long-term goal of doing every single M/BODY class at least once, to date. I counted approximately 415 movement and meditation classes as of August 12, 2024 (since not all are numbered and not all were Live classes, and both times I counted I had slightly different numbers 🙈). I loved the experience of different lengths, different focus areas, different years, and the comments under videos that helped me plan for which class was best for that day. My list of “favorite” classes just kept growing. I completed on August 12th, wrapping up with class #394 (favorited!) and Intention Meditation #105.
I am so grateful for these classes created by Marnie and supported by M/BODY queens behind the scene/camera, and thankful for this #mbodyglobalfam community of support. I fell in love with this movement practice quickly (after severalYouTube videos and questioning if I could get through those PopSugar videos without so many breaks), then trying the platform and diving deep into it. I try to make the Live classes as much as possible, login as “desk crew” when I can’t join on the mat in that moment, and I feel healthier physically and lighter emotionally because of it. When personal life knocked me over, I was fortunate I was already anchored into this practice. We can turn to classes for our joyous celebrations, for shaking off BS, and for gentle stretches and releases to melt into when sadness and grief overwhelm. So many muscle shakes and (mostly happy) cuss words along the way, and yet to come. Thank you Marnie for creating this space, inviting us to take up space, and to all with whom I share this space (from my bedroom and living room to yours, across time zones and backgrounds).
I can’t wait to celebrate the 400th Live class this Saturday, and to continue moving through this life embodying healthy connections with myself and others. Cheers to anyone else slowly working on their goals, whether that’s at the barre or anywhere else in your life.
