THANK YOU SO MUCH, Marnie for your clarity on my squat question. I was so sad I wasn’t able to attend the live class today, but I appreciate your detailed description. This helps me to be more intentional in my squats going forward.

Virtual hug!

Squat Positioning??

Greetings Fam,

I hope you are well. Recently, it feels like there has been all this talk about the benefits of squatting everyday. I enjoy squatting and can stay in that position for a period of time, but I realized that maybe I am doing it wrong. I am hoping someone can share what the best position is for a squat to reap the most benefit.

I hope I can describe this well, but basically, when I am in a squat now, my tailbone is curved in and my body weight feels like it is resting on my heels; however, when I try to straighten my spine, the back of my thighs and calves separate a little and I feel my weight shift to my thighs. Obviously, in this second position, I can’t comfortably stay there as long as my legs will start to feel the burn.

If anyone has suggestions, thoughts on this. Maybe there are many ways to do a squat that stretch and sculpt different muscles. I would love some insight from all of you beautiful humans.

Thanks!

Jenna

Greetings Everyone!

I suffer from panic disorder and sometimes after a workout I get panic attacks. I have spoken with a few friends who also experience this from time to time. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to prevent attacks? I do try to balance challenging myself with being compassionate, but it still happens occasionally.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Hugs to all.

I have endometrosis and I can have days of feeling not so great with cramping, pelvic pain, bloating, and fatigue. Today, was one of those days and I was struggling to decide if a workout would diminish or exacerbate symptoms. I was looking through the catalog feeling unsure of what would be best - low impact, bouncy and energizing, targeted workout, etc. I am sure many of you have felt this way that you aren’t sure what your body is craving some days. Will this workout serve me or should I have chosen a different session? Well, I chose the new chair dance- 30 min session and it was exactly what I needed! My pelvic discomfort lessened and I felt a sense of relief throughout of my body. Don’t you just love when you choose a session that is exactly what you needed in that moment?!
I appreciate this group and the good positive energy you all exude.

My kitty, Winston was captivated by Marnie during the de-stress flow session this morning.

I know any of Marnie’s sessions could be used to rid ourselves of stress and anxiety, but I am curious if a session could be dedicated to anxiety that focuses on moves that calm and heal the emotional center? I love the anxiety meditation Marnie offered a while back and I just thought it would be awesome to have a workout dedicated to calming the sympathetic nervous system on those days when we are feeling a bit high strung and need some movements to wind down and re-center ourselves.
