Greetings Everyone!
I suffer from panic disorder and sometimes after a workout I get panic attacks. I have spoken with a few friends who also experience this from time to time. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to prevent attacks? I do try to balance challenging myself with being compassionate, but it still happens occasionally.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Hugs to all.

Answering Question from today's LIVE class 🫶
We got a question from our lovely Amanda Powell about struggling with keeping the M/OVEMENT Ball secure while behind the knee (photo above). A couple of you wanted to hear Marnie's thoughts as well - so we thought we'd do a post!
First, Marnie recommends using the Mini M/OVEMENT Ball when doing this particular exercise and making sure you don't inflate it too much. If you're even remotely sweaty, the classic M/OVEMENT Ball can be just too slippery.
Second, you'll really want to feel the ball pressing into your leg because that helps induce and maintain blood flow.
Play around with how hard you're squeezing the ball. Sometimes when we squeeze it too tight, it can pop out. Part of the challenge is finding that sweet spot — it's a conscious negotiation of control.
Hope that helps! p.s. new challenge coming soooooon 🤭
Zelda (aka “Zeldy” aka “Ms. Pugglesworth” aka “Zeldisha Damita Jo Pugglesworth”) has been an M/Body stan since she first witnessed me taking a class (not too long after she became my “pandemic puppy”) and dragged herself over to me and rested her chin on my chest during back dancing. She sends you all greetings, some side-eye and lots of judgement.❤️❤️❤️
The live today was 🔥🔥! Facebook reminded me this is how I spent my birthday morning six years ago.❤️❤️❤️
Hi fam,
Just curious, anyone in Copenhagen or Hamburg? A meet up may be in order 😉xx
Did anyone else read the May Community Spotlight email featuring Tricia Nelson and think ”she sounds so cool!”?? 🤩
Hi All,
I was wondering if there is anybody out there who also struggles with hyper mobility. The key issue is, I can go pretty far with my joints and I sometimes just go too far and don't engage that muscle I am supposed to engage.
Especially on all fours when we lift our legs in a bent position, I sometimes struggle not to overburden my hip flexor and I struggle to understand what parallel hips actually means. I can't gauge whether I am still flexible as my hips are too mobile
Maybe Marnie, can you show us in a Q&A where to actually stop?
THANKS!
Sarah
…a random 30 min, and discovering it was your birthday dance from 2022 (165) and hearing a shoutout from Marnie! Marnie, your encouragement lives on 💜💛💜Who else loves hearing their names unexpectedly? 🧚🏽♀️🎡
Five Year Marnie-versary: Top 5 Lessons
This marker feels significant so I wanted to celebrate what M/Body lessons have changed my life. Whether you've been part of the Global Fam for 5 weeks, 5 months or 5+ years, here's what I would have shared with myself when I joined in May 2020.
This workout is for you too. It is inclusive in all ways and one random day, the move that has been challenging for so long will suddenly become second nature.
Good mood? Do the workout. Bad mood? Do the workout. I have started classes in all sorts of moods but I've ended classes only feeling refreshed and positive. Let your body help your mind.
There is a lot of wisdom being offered in between the reps, take what you need. Some things that have stayed with me: no more compromises, you have someone who loves you, you are safe and you are well, we love a wiggle.
I have become more honest, vulnerable and brave because I've spent over a thousand hours practicing those qualities on the mat. The work starts in our sacred space and then follows us out into the world.
Here are my top forever 5 workouts: #40 Halloween, #74 Women's history, #279 Knock out boxing, #347 80's Greatest hits, #428 Mariah Carey Xmas.
Be in the light,
xoxo
