Hi!! I'm a photographer, artist, mother, and ever hopeful that I will one day make it to an IRL class with Marnie and the fam!

This class was pure ballet power. It brings on the sweat like crazy. Low impact, but bounce options, you will feel your legs and glutes with this one. ALSO-anyone know what headband Marnie is wearing? My headbands are wearing out, and I love this one.

M/Body makes me feel like I'm allowed to take up space, expand heart first, make time for those deep breaths. I can show up as who I am, my best self, and I'm worthy of showing up. Being a photographer and artist, I couldn't help but share a self portrait from the fall, when I was going through a particularly busy time. I made space to stop and express myself.. and I feel courage to share it here because of the magic that is M/body and the love that is this community. I just..really love you all, even though we've never met IRL.

Like so many have said, you are not alone. We see you, and send you all of our love. My heart especially pulses for your comment on feeling alone. Just know, you are being thought of, and I'm reaching out to you in solidarity, even if I don't have the exact situation you have.

I missed this live but 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ I remember that wonderful shirt and love the OG phenomenal woman workout! This playlist was like Marnie got inside my mind with my most favorite songs. Gah, I loved this one

This class is all kinds of challenge and insanity. I didn't see it coming! At first, it was so incredibly hard and I was cursing my gliders (lovingly of course) during standing. BUT, seeing Marnie take a break during the plank routine humanized the intensity. By the end, I felt encouraged to return to this, despite the hard hard stuff. It seems to me, working to be strong enough to get through this intense 45min is a super healthy goal for the entire body, so that's my target.

This class was one of the most challenging signatures in a while. And one I almost stopped, given tiredness and personal goings on.. but I made it through, and those words at the end broke me down in such a beautiful way, and allowed the emotional release I needed. There is light, be in light, be the light. Thank you so much, Marnie, Katelyn, and the energy of the fam.

This has a hardcore pilates ending.. lots of balance work at the end. Something to work on and return to! Also, super fun dancing parts!

And, I have one day a week where I still get up at 5:30, but don’t do a workout and do something else. Like work on my art, plan the garden, or enjoy my coffee in a quiet house. I think the idea is removing as much friction as you can, so that this something you WANT to do. I’m not in a good state if I don’t do these workouts, and so, I recognize that for me, it’s far less friction to just get up and do them and start the day well, rather than keep sleeping, not do my workout, and have a rotten day. BUT again, You’ve got to find what works and is worth it for you!
