Celebrating my 5-year Marniversary this week, and the 555 class felt so powerful! I haven’t posted in this channel before but want to pop in to say how grateful I am for m/body and this community. These classes have really supported me in my healing journey over the past five years, getting me through a super painful divorce, a major career transition, a move, and the scary transition of learning how to live on my own again for the first time in 12 years. I ended so many classes with a healthy release of tears during Marnie’s closing meditations.

This is also the first workout that has unlocked the secrets to healing my chronic hip and low back pain, which started when I was 14. I’ve been to numerous medical professionals and tried countless exercise methods, including yoga, and this is the first workout that has strengthened my core and hips for healing and taught me how to attune to the micro-movements of my body. Whenever I learn about new physical therapy moves for my hips or critical exercises for longevity, I realize that my body already knows them because they are incorporated into Marnie’s workouts. I’m happier and healthier than ever, and I am so so grateful to Marnie and everyone else here who makes this community what it is. The energy here is just pure healing magic. 🙏🏻🥹❤️

Including a photo from today’s workout with my 85-lb m/body buddy, who usually accompanies me on the mat.

Express class request!

Putting this request in after a full day of sitting: could we explore a 10-minute healing hips express class, or a 10-minute express designed to combat long days of sitting? (An anti-sitting class?). I feel like that would be such an amazing/helpful addition to the catalog for those of us at a desk who need a quick break! Thank you!! 💜

😭😭 Seeking M/Body recs for a sad knee situation. I hurt my right knee because I kept doing cardio dance and bouncy bounces (my favorite💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 ) on a

strained left foot. I can do ones like pushup-planks (my least favorite) and I just got through a recent standing sculpt vid. Any others I should check out? Lol, almost my whole favorites page is off limits, even with modifications.

Pain deets: A few times a day, I get an extreeemely sharp pain, directly above my knee cap. For the next few minutes, I cannot put any weight on it, especially coming off the ball of my foot (so, like walking 🙄). Then it weirdly seems to unkink itself, making me wonder if the problem actually originates in my hip flexor or something.
