This class has a quick signature flow vibe, with lots of standing series and variety and a focus on hips (hi wide second) and glutes (oh hi barre work), but without any crunches or on your back work in orange or blue. It also has a once in the catalog glute strengthening and hip stretch to end class that is so good!

I enjoyed this class very much. The variations in traditional moves, new sequencing with an extra dash of cardio dance to end, the variety of positions and props packed into one class, the balletic elegance of lifts, the true leg BURN during those ball sets…all of it. So good!!

Yay Emily!! They are game changers for sure! Especially the mini for me with my small (size 6) feet.

Yes, keep children away! And puppies 😬 Right Molly Mandell ?!

Amazing!! I don’t think she has any IRL classes scheduled, but maybe some LA fam members can recommend similar studio classes for you to try? (Let’s face it, absolutely nothing compares to M/BODY, but the studio feel from any class is special!). I know Bandier had a studio she has worked with many times, maybe check that out?

Oh Molly..sending so much love and light to you and your family. Navigating grief and holistic movement is overwhelming. I completely understand and relate to what you have articulated. Movement is medicine and therapy and so important as tools, but it is also necessary distraction. To harness the distraction aspect without the emotional dive from deep hip work or focused verbal messages throughout, I would say knockout classes or cardio dance, or the theme classes (Taylor, 80s, Halloween #40) in specific have a fun vibe throughout. They all have a lighter, free focus both physically and verbally, which may help as you try to manage the minefield of emotions. Nothing like stumbling across that when you’re trying to take a break from it. It’s necessary and good, and I know you are allowing yourself to feel as I know you personally, but sometimes it’s too much. It’s so wonderful that you know this and what you need right now. Brain choreo and deep strength also distract 💛

Ahhhhh!!!! Whitney!!! Congratulations!!!! ❤️

Oh Leslie, my heart goes out to you and to the honest and vulnerable way that you have articulated your experience. You’ve made movement your physical, mental, and emotional therapy. That is the goal to end all goals. Wellness 💛

Tina!! I realized today after coming across a Tina leg series in another class, that there are enough Tina segments to make a full body workout 😅

Grounding, elegant, and challenging in novel ways with the incorporation of ankle weights. This is a great add on class when you’re looking for a leg/glute focused series.

This class has some true arm challenges with only 3lb and 5lb weights. The brain work needed for this challenge is meditative. While I typically seek more bounce and full body activation, I found this arm focused class strength harnessing and grounding.
