Wow I LOVED this class!! I’m 5 months post partum and have been slowly building back up my core strength and I’ve actually been avoiding this class because I thought it would be too straining on my core, but this class was like rehab for it!! It felt so healing and strengthening, definitely one of the more gentle core classes that focused more on feeling the different parts of your core rather than being super intense! I’ll be favoriting this class to come back to a lot to help me build up my strength! I also loveeeeeed the meditation at the end, such a special time to connect to a part of our bodies that do so much for us but we’re often so hard on!

Doing this workout at 5 months Postpartum and gosh I really needed those ending words of being okay with where you are right now! ā¤ļø

Thank you so much Monique!!!! Your words are so beautiful!!! I think about you saying the mat is here even if it’s interrupted or not done to completion almost ever day! It feels so good to step onto the mat even for just a few minutes and I’ve been giving myself tons of grace even if I can’t finish the whole workout if baby boy needs me!

First class back after giving birth to my sweet baby boy, Aaron! šŸ’™

I’m about 8 weeks postpartum and even though I’ve been sooooo ready to get back to my M/body for the last few weeks it’s been hard to find the time, even why baby boy sleeps, I want to hold him and soak up all the baby snuggles!

Tonight I just got the urge (yes at almost midnight my sleep schedule is all sorts of crazy right now! šŸ˜‚) that I needed some Marnie and did the latest restore class and loved every second of it! This was the perfect class to return to! It felt so good to move my body, but honestly so strange to do it alone for the first time in several months! I miss the kicks and hiccups I felt daily, but love that I can run over and snuggle him whenever I want now, which I did post class! 🄰

I can’t explain how happy I am to be back on the mat, but I’m beginning with the intention that I’m not ā€œbouncing backā€ I’m not who I was before and I’m not trying to get back to her, instead, I’m ready to get back into movement to honor this new body that carried life and continues to carry me. My intention is to tend to it with care, to grow strong, and to nurture myself so I can show up fully for my family. šŸ’œ

I don’t think I would be able to give myself this gift of taking care of myself like this had I not had 5 years of Marnie’s encouragement!

Love these power sculpt classes SO much!!!! This was one of my favorite power sculpts so far! I loved the variation on the core work at the end instead of doing crunches because I was able to do the core work while 27 weeks pregnant, I just modified with lighter weights! Such a fun class!!!

I feel you Erin! So glad that you’re feeling better and back on the mat!

I’m 25 weeks right now and I didn’t do any movement in the 1st trimester because I felt so sick! Started feeling better in the 2nd trimester and M/body has been feeling so good!

I also love the Pregnancy filter on the app! I started a playlist as well and have added a few classes that felt really good! I need to keep on adding! Also the healing hips class did have some work on the stomach that I skipped but the class just felt too good not to favorite!

Awww thank you for the sweet shout before class Marnie!!! I just came to do this class for the first time today and that got my energy up and so ready for this power sculpt!

I did this with 8 lb weight at 23 weeks pregnant and it felt SO good! I modified most of the core work on the back but having the knowledge of how to modify from doing this work with you for years has felt SO empowering!!!

It’s hard to believe it’s been 5 years this month since I hit play on one of your pop sugar videos for the first time and I’ve been with you ever since! I’m so thankful everyday for how quickly you adapted and brought this online space to life so we could grow together! I would have never imagined 5 years later you’d be helping me stay strong through pregnancy as well but, wow, it’s been a beautiful 5 years!!! Thank you Marnie and team for this work, it truly has changed my life through lock down, career changes, and now becoming a mother this work has kept me strong, grounded, and believing in myself more than ever before!

I have also loved the power sculpt classes!!
