Lovely little barre sculpt! All standing with some ball work that felt great on the hips and activating arm work (next time, I need to go 5 lbs instead of 3! My most favorite part was a few of the words Marnie interwove:

1. What stress is stealing your strength?

2. The meditation about growth, how right before you elevate/go to the next level, everything that no longer aligns starts to crumble. So if you feel like things are falling apart, trust that it's making space for more light to enter.

3. A comment to Sami & Jill about how they can support one another through a certain point in the workout and I just loved that! Speaks to not just Sami and Jill, but how can we show up for and support one another?

Oh my gosh what a JOYful workout!! My first signature 60 in awhile since moving and getting settled into my new routine and boy did it feel fantastic! The playlist had me dancing the whole way through. Booty was activated, but the weighted abs at the end were killer!! Definitely need to come back to them to work on getting through the whole thing without stopping! 

Beautiful, stretchy flow. Not much heat & lots of lovely hip stretches via down dog. Super accessible and perfect when you want to be stretched and calm your nervous system without impact. Thank you Marnie!

Fun new creative choreography with the ball! Hips get stretched out, and legs/balance is challenged on the ball throughout class - in the beginning the thighs feel the fire, and the booty series on the floor really brought my focus to my core and stabilizing muscles. It was such a great challenge that I want to come back to because I came out a few times. Lovely ending stretch that my body thanked me for. And I loved learning about the importance of the stretch with the ball under our shoulder blades! Going to start incorporating that into my days!

Dana this is so beautifully said!! Trusting our bodies' innate wisdom ❤️ A good reminder for me today. 

Omg YES! It brought me right back to this movie called "Coda" where I first heard the song. Absolutely beautiful!! 

These 30 minutes FLEW by! Great use of weights, with some lunge work, and then floor work with the added weight and a bit of side work.

Definitely more of a flowy class - yoga inspired at the beginning, some warming hip, leg and arm movements. I felt like a dancer in some of the extension moves, and the plank/side plank work was engaging and fun and doable! Felt more whole core than "ab crunching/inducing" the whole time. A favorite that I'm definitely coming back to! Oh, and as Caroline mentioned below, I LOVED touching my tummy and playfully, curiously, discovering it instead of judging it. Massive mindset shift, in the best way. My mind felt clear and delighted, and I want to work to live in that space. Thank you Marnie!

Caroline, I read this before doing the workout this morning, and I LOVED it too!! I felt in a space of discovery instead of judgement, which was so freeing for my mind. 

Arms were challenging! Some moments I stepped out of the fire, instead of leaning in, so I want to come back and lean into the wide second moments. Same with some of the side work at the barre. Lovely signature class! Thank you Marnie!
