About 10 months ago, I went to the M/body retreat in Italy. I had never done a workout before and I didn’t know who Marnie was. A friend asked me to go and I jumped at the chance to see Tuscany.

What I didn’t know when I agreed to go was that this would be a pivotal, life changing decision. Participating in the retreat and meeting all of the compassionate, powerful women was like nothing I’ve ever experienced.

As part of the retreat, we completed a prompted journal session each day. I had never journaled before and this also turned out to be a powerful habit that has stuck with me.

Today, while writing in my journal, I was documenting how much my outlook has changed for the better in the last almost year since.

Doing M/body improves, strength, balance, flexibility and endurance of my body, while also doing the same for my spirit. How is that all possible , in less than one hour a day? Thank you Marnie and to the M/body community for being such an amazing resource.

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!
