Hi Fam! I just did the newest Planksgiving class this morning, and the messages from Marnie about gratitude reminded me of a quote by Ariana Grande, in a recent interview she did with Interview Magazine. She said, "I'm carbonated by gratitude." I just love the image of being buoyed by gratitude, and thought you might appreciate it too!

Extremely grateful for this community and practice - it has carried me through many different phases of life and continually helped me ground and return to myself. Happy belated Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans, and Happy Holiday season to all!

Unfortunately I didn't make it live, but this was the first time in awhile since my rib injury I did a 45 minute! It felt challenging, but accessible. I had to modify the planks because of my back ribs, but really loved the hip stretches throughout class. They were exactly what I needed! Can't wait to come back to this one once I'm fully healed!

Also, Marnie, I want to thank you for your constant words about fully breathing into our bodies. I need those grounding words ❤️

Did this with only 3 lb weights and no ankle weights (when my ribs are fully healed, I'm definitely coming back to this to up the ante!), but still loved the hip flexor work and all of the fun balances!! Thank you Marnie & team!

Activating lower body focused class, which is great for my rib healing journey. Lots of hip tucks and circles throughout class. The second half at the barre in a tuck was incredibly ab activating, which is perfect for me right now because I currently can't do abs on the floor! Lovely barre stretch at the end which elt so lovely and juicy.

This was really my first workout back after injuring my ribs a few weeks ago, and while I still have a long way to go, it felt incredible to move in this flow. It didn't really both my back, and I enjoyed the wide second series. As others have said in the comments, this meditation was exactly what I needed to hear: "Everything I lose creates space for everything I need." What flows, flows, what crashes, crashes.

LizaMary thank you so much for this fantastic playlist! New music to put on my Latin Dance playlist :) Really enjoyed this class! The beginning is dancy and fun, the ball at the barre really works the quads, and the ab series at the end... hello core!! [Great one to add on at the end of a shorter class. It was so engaging in the best way]. Going to be replaying the ending meditation again and again.

Proud of myself for staying in the fire in wide second and man the straight leg with a slight turnout on the standing leg was challenging, particularly for my lower back (which means I need to go lower and tuck more). The ab sequence at the end was SO great for obliques. Good add on if I want something after shorter classes. Arms felt activated and strong. Favoriting and definitely coming back to this. Another unique M/Body class - how Marnie does it, I will never know!

[Posting this a few days after, and my inner thighs were feeling it the following day!]

Ok this is officially a new favorite healing hips class. I wanted to exercise yesterday, but didn't get to it. My hips were feeling tight and this was like butter! I was looking for a 30 minute flow today, and this could not have come at a better time! Loved the healing flow vibes, playlist, and dynamic, slower movement that brought both the sweat and stretch. Hips now feeling open and gooey :)

Oh my gosh this is a great description Simona. Making a note in my spreadsheet that this is a good one after driving and sitting!
