Loving these Presence themed classes! We are mindfully warming up and elevating our heart rate, then slowing it a bit to savor while keeping an active tempo and the heat going in anaerobic ways. The Movement ball (regular and mini) are stars of the class. Some intense one leg work at the barre which I adored despite some exhaled words along the way. Todd joined me for the playback of this and said it may be one of the best and sweatiest classes he’s done yet. I was dehydrated from the night before and didn’t sweat as much as he did, but it was a class leaving us both feeling the full body work and a sense of accomplishment and calm.

Ankle weights are such a small but mighty add-on for extra challenge- oh my! I had to get out of my head when I needed to catch a beat and will work on keeping hips down and level as my leg raises behind me or to my side when I revisit this class. As mentioned all standing throughout class, a lot of one leg at a time focus, with some interesting angle shifts at our standing surface. The closing message was tugging on my emotions, so I recognize that was important for me to hear today- thank you.

This class ALWAYS delivers, entirely on the floor and tummy up to the sky (no plank variations here).

Paired this class with a Power Sculpt class and I loved the stretch it gave to the upper body worked with heavier weights beforehand, and the gooey hip stretch and opening this one provides. It's such a calming class.

Power sculpt blending times of down on the mat (kneeling or plank varieties) and upright standing, with one-weight side plank dances and combos that invite our lower body, core activation, and the (personal challenge) of keeping shoulders down while raising one or both weights over our shoulders. The final combo choreography was my favorite! Super quick class!

Be Here Now class- embracing sets of 16 with aerobic dance bringing the sweat that kept going through class, barre work that had my legs shaking and used the M/ovement ball in unique and super wiggly ways under the top of our toes and under one knee (I increased my stabilization by moving closer to my barre when the ball was under knee, but was still gripping tight to my barre and hope to soften that when I return to this beauty of a class). The playlist was wonderful and enhanced the supportive and loving vibe of this class. Plank dances here that felt challenging yet graceful and even brought me a level of calmness (but then we kept going and I got back in my head haha). The ab work throughout was masterful. This is such a great sweaty, sculpty class!

I love reading your comments and class recap, Caroline! They’re so helpful before I start the class. ❤️

Wow, another new Favorite for me! Before we even begin Marnie gives a brief tutorial of the grapevine kick move for future reference. Then this class flows in Signature style yet felt so much more balletic and barre infused. It was sweaty, it was muscle-shaky, lots of pulses, and yet not extremely jumpy or super fast. Loved the ball in between our hands for upper body work. I adored the barre progressions standing and the choreography combos down on the mat using hand weights. Such a fabulous and barre-forward M/BODY Signature! And that playlist is something I need to return to on Spotify especially when cleaning.

This beautiful class FELT to me like it was led by a traditional ballet instructor who was gentler in nature and also trained as a Physical Therapist - Marnie, I loved it! Lovely stretches and graceful lengthening, with some slowing down flow. Fabulous walk-throughs of progression of form expression (now I finally know how to hold my leg as I cannot stand on one leg while holding my other leg high and outstretched- but now I know how to progress toward that with good form!). I paused to move my mat out of the way and briefly use my Gliders on a rug, and that was perfect for me.
