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

I’m so grateful for this community and for this work! Thank you thank you thank you. 😊

After close to a decade of M/Body (&Barre Belle!) my thoughtful husband and sweet son gifted me a barre of my very own for Mothers Day! I’m so grateful for Marnie, the M/BODY team and this inspiring community. Just finished a 45 min barre sculpt and it was glorious, felt almost like the studio days! Cheers to even more fun at the mat!💕💕💕

Yesterday I was feeling a little apprehensive about May’s theme but today I came across these words! This is how I will be thinking about courage throughout this month.

Sending lots of love to everyone, as always ❤️

This cutie came to the recording studio after a long day and conked right out matching perfectly with the sofa. Rosy was a great emotional support animal today!
