Yay you’re here! Welcome, Anna! Classes from /416 (Halloween pelvic floor class) onward had Marnie with a significant foot injury… so Lauren Poole (badass girlie in general who used to teach at the studio back in the brick and mortar days) is featured helping to teach class through late Fall into winter classes while Marnie healed. I wonder if checking classes where Marnie returns as the only individual instructor may be helpful, as she notes modifications she does at times as her foot was rehabing (I think around class /429 Marnie is on her feet solo teaching again). Each and every class honors our feet and all of the relevé in classes and metatarsal stretches have significantly strengthened my feet in general. I’m actually just noticing I’m doing a metatarsal stretch while standing and typing this and didn’t even realize- these are the healthy habits M/BODY helps create. Wishing you well in your healing journey and again, we’re glad you’re here!

Great minds think alike, Linds! I actually deleted the next sentence to my post, asking Marnie when those IRLs are going to be so I can try to schedule/plan/budget for it and be present with more of us! But I kept it to just my little admiration haha.

/457 is a healing love letter of a balanced class from Marnie (and yourself) to you.

I am trying to swap my 3 lb. weights for 5 lb. weights more often, and this class was accessible for that for me, albeit with arms lower when straighter. A few "woo hoo's" exhaled and feeling peaceful, strong, and long upon completion of this beautiful class.

Did anyone else read the May Community Spotlight email featuring Tricia Nelson and think ”she sounds so cool!”?? 🤩

It’s been 13 hours and OHbliques and glutes- the glutes I expected but all the core twists were imbedded, seamless, aka low key sneaky. Love it!

These sweat + stretch combo classes are lovely… the feeling afterward within my own skin is softened, stretched, and unblocked. The combos are wonderful and as others mentioned there are those moments of aerobic options, such as optional jumps, to keep you so warm and muscles so supple for this work. I was feeling this in my wrists a bit, so while there are many options to be off of them and release, if that is a troublesome area for you today then consider some adjustments/modifications for this class. Thank you for this feeling afterward!

XXX class, knockout sweat class with all the kicks and punches are always a good time and leave me feeling powerful.

As someone whose body does not yet make a “splits” shape or form, this class was nice to know some progressions to work toward that. Marnie gives all of the verbal guidance and reminders to meet yourself wherever you are. It felt like a great hamstring stretch and opening of the hips.

This was perfect a day after a bootylicious M/BODY class where my legs and glutes needed some TLC (love ya, Grounded Sweat classes!). This did have me on the sides of my mat and required some additional space (no equipment- Marnie sits on the Movement ball for ending meditation). This class focuses on the softness and safety we can create for ourselves. There are some trauma-informed approaches (such as the peripheral eye movements) sprinkled in along with some beautiful yoga poses.Â
