Hello lovely fam,

I'm here again asking for strength and positive energy. I have suffered another loss in my life. Yesterday I found out that my dearest and closest friend (who lived about 4500 kms from me) died after a short illness. She was only 65. I'm gutted. I didn't get to say goodbye. The grief weighs heavily upon me.

Be sure to tell your loved ones how you feel about them. Don't wait till tomorrow. It might be too late 💔😢

Hi community!

I would like your help :D

I'm now 4 weeks post partum and would like to slowly ease back on the mat. Can anyone recommend some light workouts to start out with?

After close to a month, I’ve finally landed back on the mat. I’ve completed all my missing live classes and welcomed our new theme(which always feels perfectly times for my life).

My sweet mother had her left kidney removed due to a renal cell carcinoma, and I immediately went to take care of her. I held her hand before the surgery, and promised that I would be there when she woke up. We eased into a daily routine of movement, pain management, healthy eating(I cooked everyday!) and all the girl talk. I helped her shower, gave her pep talks, and sat on the floor next to her bedside every night while we watched Britbox until bedtime. It was work but I felt privileged to be in the position to care for my parent who has always cared for me.

So my intention is to care for myself in the same loving, powerful, healthy way I cared for my mother. Give myself grace to catch up to my healing, be loving in healthy habits, try to never question my progress as too slow and to find the fun and joy in the hardest of times. Grateful for the love and support of the M/BODY fam, who never waver in offering light and strength. Thankful that I always have a place to return, keeping me balanced and in the light 💛💫

Hi everyone ❤️ I have something I would gratefully receive your thoughts / ideas / experiences about. I get quite anxious with some intrusive thoughts - manageable most of the time 🤣 - but I often find that exercising can set the anxious thoughts off while I am doing it. Even though in the longer term I know it’s so good for me. Does anyone have any advice or thoughts on this - it is so frustrating for me as I think it stops me getting to the mat / puts me off doing the longer work outs. Thank you so much! Emily

Hit the 6 year Marniversary mark at the end of July!! MBody has truly become an integrated part of who I am….and I am so grateful for the support and community we have here! Summer with 5 at home has made it difficult to show up, but I am still here and school starts in 9 days lol! 😂 Ready for a fall challenge!

I dreamt that I was doing a live Mbody workout and Marnie had some community members with her....and the best part, it was a pyjama party theme!!!!! 🤣

Someone please remind me of the class where we danced to Huntrix’s “Golden” near the end? I searched Pop Diva but that doesn’t seem to be the one…🤔

Hi Fam, I know this is a space that really gets the loss of a pet. Oliver was family and he was with us for almost the past 17 years. He has been a part of it all, been with us before we were married and a part of my kids’ whole lives. He was the best. We decided to let him be at rest yesterday and our hearts break, but I’m trying to still feel him around and know his love is with us. I remember working out as Marnie mourned the loss of her dog and feel I just need that. I need to keep crying and to move with the grief. Anyone know which workout this was? Thanks so much, enjoy the pics of my Buggsie Bear Olives as I called him! 🐾❤️

M/Express suggestion - could we do a 10min barre stretch?? I have a feeling I’d do it all the time 😍
