I loved the dancing lunges in this one, unique and fun to strike a pose and salsa. And dancing broadway kicks 😍 It always amazes me how effective the classic barre work with a bent leg and no weights works the hamstring and glute muscle and there’s been some repeating of this move in series in recent classes. The repetition is making the connection easier to find, and also even more fiery the more you do it. The flowy planks into side leg lifts with a focus on orange and core muscles more than legs shifted my focus in a cool way. Great class!

This is a fiery floor abs and arms, wow I felt them during those 4 sets of 8. I love loved the side plank series and the new ball moves. I really had to tune in to make sure my alignment was on point. The balance of ease and flow to start and then fire and push to finish was so intentional and supportive.

Any recommendations for a book on understanding the vagus nerve and supporting its function?

This is a special one. I’ve done it twice and both times I was left so fulfilled; calm and present from the balanced full body experience. Bouncy dancing joy and flow and firey can I do it push moments and grounding encouraging messages throughout. That meditation and post class chat was so appreciated. Loved it!

This may sound weird but I’ve noticed a big difference when it’s cooler in the room and I’m not sweaty. The ball slides out more in winter months. It also does that if it isn’t direct skin contact. It sticks to skin way better than slippery leggings (especially behind the knee). If I am warm/sweaty (I don’t drip much, tmi, but I imagine super sweatiness and the ball would really go flying!) and the ball and room are warm and I’m wearing shorts nice and low and no shirt I don’t have issues.

Debora oh my gosh I would say that’s AMAZING and you are the best foster failer I have ever met 🙌 I thought I remembered Honey looking different, still a small breed but I was suspicious lol Welcome Cricket!!

Sweet Honey! Thanks for sharing, she’s precious.

Hi, I also do what Faith describes and it has been great. Know that you can always drop to lower or increase to higher as long as you’re tuned into your form and listening to your body. I love how you know that it’s not right or wrong to do one or the other. It’s a customizable mix of low, higher, and no weights that serve a purpose just like all the flavors of classes. It’s fun to chose and change based on how you’re feeling, your energy, and the moves.

Have fun!

Ju I just stumbled across another one doing Sig Softness and BLM 527 this am. There’s a double dose of Tina in it! 🙌💗

This is such a great question Nicole! I have been overthinking it in classic style since you posted it lol

So stop thinking, Linds, and just post.

When I am feeling joyful-energized, or joyful-calm I look to visit the signatures in my favorites list and/or theme classes like 80s, Taylor, and Hip Hop (classes with playlists I love, bouncy dance, and dynamic floor or barre).

When I am tired, sluggish but know I need to show myself strength I choose a power sculpt, classes that are LI with 5lb weights, or planks and pushups classes that bring it.

When I am low energy and know I need more gentle flow I choose ballet glide, floor flows, and those older gems the grounded sweats.

When I am sore and dealing with some fatigue I choose classes that have bouncy dance with less red light sculpt focus.

When I am nervous I choose familiar 45s that I feel confident and challenged by or LI classes with lots of props to harness my brain in the moment and connect me to my body.

When I am overwhelmed emotionally and spinning a bit with thoughts at the end of the day I choose a stretch class, healings hips are my faves.
