This was a really nice quickie that still brings on some sweat, and at one point or another, ALL my muscles were engaged. We use weights for the majority of class, which is always a great reminder for me to drop my shoulders down my back instead of up around my ears. As an added bonus--oh my lord, as soon as that Savage Garden song came on....how do I still know all those words? Happy early birthday, Leah!!

What a delight to have my name called out even though it wasn't me! This is a very fun very challenging very bouncy sweat class. As such, we don't stay in any one sequence too long, which keeps the mind occupied and the body moving. Nothing is too complicated or tricky, just sweaty! If you're like me and consider those glute bridges to be more workout than cooldown (my brain is weird and likes to know), those end just before the 54 minute mark. Enjoy this one!

This class was like a really good intermediate level yoga class in my body. It built low heat and gave me opportunity for some challenging stretches and mobility exercises. I broke more of a sweat than I thought I would, which meant I got a nice little boost of energy. I needed the reminder about all challenges being an opportunity for growth. Thank you for this one

Immediately, I would love to know where those fabulous pants are from, Marnie. And hello, sweet baby Rye! I am in so much awe and gratitude that this workout platform has such a caring and consistent eye on nervous system health. As someone who has struggled pretty persistently with my relationship to my body and to exercise, this feels very nearly revolutionary. I know I am not alone in that journey. And as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I feel like it's an extra treat because I get to geek out about these learnings around the nervous system and polyvagal theory. Thank you x1,000,000 for being who you are, Marnie and for bringing this work and awareness to this platform. I feel lucky and grateful in ways I cannot fully describe. I needed this this morning!!

Man, I forgot how fun this one was! See Monique's comment below for a very comprehensive perspective of what to expect. This class is a little closer to 40 minutes, but I only say that so you don't skip any of the stretches! The whole class flows together really seamlessly. There's stretch in the sweat and sweat in the stretch, and the playlist is excellent. 

Monique especially when you're using dish towels and noticing how much you should probably vacuum 😂

Jenna Trisko continuing my response...those are just three options for ways to orient to your space. Pick the easiest most enjoyable one in the moment! Do some breathing for a bit, go back to orienting, do some more rounds of breathing, go back to orienting. Take your time, move slowly and gently. Your impulse will be to rush or to hurry through the process. See if you can give yourself time and permission. I love that mantra Marnie sometimes says "I am safe, and I am well". These are just a couple of physical ways to reassure your system of that exact same sentiment. They might sound simple, but that's why they can really work! I am sending you so much love and light, and I hope this helps in some small way!
