M/BODY Challenge completed!

This June I embraced hopping around the board for classes to match my available time/energy. I set out to do at least 5 classes/week.

M/BODY classes, and certainly a Challenge Board, are the healthiest coping skill for me when life gets wild and I need to anchor into something while navigating some storms. 2025 has been hurtful to everyone I know for various reasons, and I have felt incredibly smooshed in the Sandwich Generation role of caring for parents and my kiddo. Thankful I’m not doing it alone within my family and circle, and thankful for the support that always is available within our #mbodyglobalfam.

I’m wrapping up this Challenge as I wrap up a decade and turn F-IN’ FORTY on Sunday! My 30s were a wild ride of joy, sadness, loss, learning, trying again, and hope. I wear it imprinted on my body from pregnancy, laugh lines, tiger stripes, and making all sorts of shapes. Thank you M/BODY for helping me strengthen my body, heart, and spirit and helping me welcome new unknowns with a little more balance and freedom.

Congratulations to my fellow Challengers and to those who knew this wasn’t the time for them but found their own schedule for movement and breath work, one great choice at a time. 🩵

Unshakable you 21 Day Challenge in the books. This one was a reminder to take care of me first. Thanks MBody Global Fam for the reminder

Feeling so proud of myself!! So grateful for this challenge and opportunity to push myself!! 💪🏼💪🏼

Thank you for this 21 day challenge! I started off with a five day commitment- but quickly realized that I wanted to make my goal 7 days. I really appreciate that we were reminded of flexibility in the approach to the challenge. I’m proud of myself because my all or nothing thinking in the past would have made me feel that I didn’t “properly” complete the challenge because there were a few times I needed to double up on classes because of travel conflicts. Instead, I felt empowered to keep going and stick with it!

AND Marnie, how are your Marnie talks so pertinent and on point LITERALLY EVERY DAY!? Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Dear M/BODY friends,

Our family welcomed a third child—a baby girl—into our home through adoption yesterday 🕊️ Yay to another mini who will be joining me on the mat!

Loving this challenge! Proud of myself because a few days into it we went on vacation for a week… I managed to keep up💖 Feel all the better for moving my body while on vacation! Thanks for the inspo mbody!

Also! We took our 13 year old pup and she was a rockstar ✨✨ it was sweet and special

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.

Helllllooo Global Fam!

It's been a long time since I've posted, but I did my first signature /60 (the most recent pride one!) this morning in what feels like awhile, and I felt on top of the world after! I noticed my exhales were so long and full near the end. I completed the arms and abs sections without stopping. I fully extended my leg on both sides during the barre stretch. I felt peaceful at the end because of Marnie's meditation, reminding me to exhale the burden of other people's expectations and inhale and express authenticity, space and gratitude for our one beautiful life (the music also made me want to cry it was so beautiful!).

I absolutely love the theme for this month as well. In my work, I don't feel like myself in many ways, but I went to a concert a few weeks ago, and the way the artist, Ashe, commanded the stage... it seemed like she was fully expressing herself, and similar to the theme of the meditation, it made me realize that people are the most beautiful when they're completely themselves. Thank you Marnie for the reminder. ❤️

P.S. I finally bought a few new leotards for myself, and I absolutely LOVE them! I feel confident and flirty and free in the best ways. Marnie and I were kind of matching!
