Such a sweet, loving, trust giving soul; just like his mama 💗

Sweet Amanda, I honor the honesty (haha double use of the word but if feels very true as I respect and value it) of this message. I want to support and help immediately, but first know I hear you and can identify with the frustration of this. I think what you are describing is almost like the muscles have fatigued out, but it also feels also like a mind body connection lack of firing as well?

If I am understanding right, what happens if you take a quick and total reset. Say to yourself, I need a pause. Pause, and truly get out of the posture, maybe shake your limbs, bounce a little. Then get back into it. Or if you know the postures that tend to lead to this kind of physical and mental frozen state, maybe preplan and then breakdown the series into more manageable bites to avoid the shutdown.

Sending love and feel free to dm me and we can geek out on strategies to try to get you into your body xxoo

This was honestly so good I got up extra early on a workday just to do it again. 10/10 recommend 🙌🤩

Absolutely fantastic!! The playlist and new choreo brought big smiles. It isn’t possible not to feel the joy radiating from Marnie all class; it’s infectious. Even the challenges had that just have to smile, can’t believe how much it burns effect. I will be returning to do class again very soon, and to do parts of it as mini classes/ad ons (the 3lb arm dance, the plank dance, the ab series..). It all truly is so good!

Oh Mary Ellen..you are such a loving person and the grief you are feeling is a reflection of that. Your connection with your friend was so powerful and that is beautiful. I am sending love and compassion as it is a raw thing to sit with and hold grief. You aren’t alone. 🤍

What a great functional booty class! I loved the stand to floor moves (standing glute lovers and floor glute lovers unite in one class). Legs front and back, hips, and of course the whole booty is incorporated. It always amazes me how those standing postures with one leg static makes the cheek burn like nothing else. Heads up Marnie has an empowering monologue on the second leg that means you will be in an elongated lunge pose fighting for your life and you CAN do it, relief is coming and it is so good 🔥 🙌

What a great class! It felt intentionally sculpty with the heavier weights and elongated classic barre postures. Nothing like Marnie to remind you all you need is to hold your body in stillness to feel things shaking and strengthening. The focus on breath work I found so unique and purposeful to this class and it made it an extra great for me. It was such a welcome tool to calm the mind and body using that brain power to match counts and breath to exertion. Please keep that coming, loved it. And the baby bear planks and ab moves with the ball under the hips, yesss.

Loved this one. Coming back to take it the second time I liked trying different weights and leaning into some of those unique subtle things. Like holding onto the barre with both hands for oblique lifts, and placing the ball slightly higher up the back for that goal post weighted move. And the playlist?! So good!

Ooo fun and Violet, barre sweat at its finest. Class went by so fast!

Tanisha G. You sweet beautiful human. Thank you for sharing this. You are such a special light filled person 💛
