Hi Megan! I don’t know about the M/BODY gliders, I have very old ones from TJMaxx lol, BUT they have 2 sides and I believe the M/BODY ones were designed similarly. One side is smooth plastic and the other has an almost felt like surface. My thought is that they do that so the tool can be used on hard or soft and not scuff if that’s a concern, and also the felt provides a grip for your feet. If I put the felt side down on hard floors it is harder to pull (more resistance, but won’t scratch the glider or the floor). I haven’t tried the smooth side on carpet, but I feel like it would work and no scratching the glider or the floor risk either. Likely harder because more resistance. Maybe use barre socks with gripers to increase the hold on the surface? Have so much fun!! And if you don’t pull the trigger on purchasing, stick with those paper plates and glide away lovely girl! (Wax paper rubber banded to your feet works well too, but I speak from childhood memories only 😉)

Jen Fast you’re welcome!! Hope to “see” lol you at the live celebration today!

Hi Jen! Marnie just did an Instagram story asking for song requests for tomorrow’s live. Head there asap and let her know 😊

Jessica Burton aw Jess, you are so kind, thank you! I get so flooded seeing my son that tears fall out sometimes, I know that feeling very well 🥰

Amazing Jess!! Nothing compares to that feeling when you are so overwhelmed watching your child thriving, simply by being and doing, you are caught off guard by that flood of love and pride ❤️

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 💛
