This was a really lovely one. I might even call it an M/Body Ball Jr. experience :). Lots of really slow, thoughtful and PRESENT choreography that feels intense and sculpt-y, but I didn't feel the need to take a ton of breaks, which was super satisfying. Short weighted arm series using turnout and standing ab/oblique work. Some fun new standing barre/ball work that had me very focused. Particularly fiery core series on the floor (pushing against that bent leg while lying on the back always feels like a major challenge to me!). I love a good 45-min signature, and this one does not disappoint. Plus we did cardio dance to "I Believe in a Thing Called Love", and there were so many wonderful Global Fam celebrations happening so....DELIGHT ensues!

Very excited by this request!

Leah! I got off social media several years ago and can honestly say it was the right decision for me. People seem so shocked when I tell them, and to be honest, sometimes, I worry that means I'm missing out on something. Opportunities for connection or exposure or or or or...and maybe I'm right! But I also know that my comparison muscle was so much stronger than any kind of self-love I had when I was active on social media, and I can't imagine that wouldn't come right back online if it had the opportunity. I still get caught in YouTube holes or in streaming binges. In other words, that kind of compulsivity has certainly found other outlets, but I am aware of it and doing what I can to address it in a way that doesn't feel like I always have to be  up-to-date and reacting to other people's stuff. I've got my own stuff to work on :) 

Does Ollie think your mat is a personal scratch pad like mine does?! 🙃 He is so sweet, Nicole!!

What a sweet and wonderful friend hang and opportunity to celebrate someone special to you, Whitney! I hope Kristyn can come back to a Live with us!

This is an all-standing, no/low-impact class that will get your legs and glutes burning! There were a couple moments I had to come down off of releve for an 8 count and jump back in! There is some light standing ab work, though I know all of this standing barre work is engaging our core. Some really cool combos that have back-to-back strength and then stretch moves in them. Kept me present and excited to see what was next!

Popping by to add a classic rock class request, which was ABSOLUTELY inspired by the Stones moment in our ballet burn class today! Had me movin' and shakin'!

Monique right back atcha!!

Power sculpt! I’m also loving low-impact classes and low-impact sweat we’ve been exploring the last few months.

This power sculpt had some aerobic life in it! I am a sweaty gal after doing this today. Some fun plank and all four combos that have us down on the ground for about half of the class. Get ready to feel your breath pick up and your heart beat! Of course, I chose today to go up an increment in my weights, which made it extra juicy. Love these power sculpt classes and am grateful to experience heavier weight work in this community.
