This class really works dancer's legs, glutes. hips, and core. My upper body too, with the sprinkles of plank flows. I am working through the entire M/BODY class catalogue, and it is so much fun to do these earlier classes from 2020 and 2021 and experience the flows of Signature classes then, feel what remains and revisit some former flow choreography sequences. This class is standing, at the barre, and at the mat, but does not incorporate table top (on knees) moves, unless you modify plank/pushups onto the knees. Arm dance with hand weights is brief.

Wow, this class flew by and yet it was a wonderful challenge! The pace is quick, it is sweaty and sculpty and absolutely no equipment, although the Movement ball is mentioned as a prop option/modification a few times. We are standing, some jump options, low squats and goddess pose, and mat work in plank dance flows and in table top position as well as on our backs. So we need space to stretch and elongate around us for this awesome class.

Wow, what a class for growing! I was traveling and since the floor had low pile carpet, I tried using paper plates as gliders and the intensity of some of the moves had me feeling the heat I was creating under my soles! This class worked with a high back chair substituting my barre. It was such a wonderful hip opening class, with moments of balletic grace and moments of freestyle attempts. It brings the heat, the stretch, and the sculpt. Thank you for creating these unique classes and thank you for being a cornerstone of my wellness on my birthday and throughout the year!

Echoing other comments, this is a total full-body class bringing the sweat especially in the first half. Marnie’s words throughout class about taking it one step at a time rather than the entire staircase, was a helpful mantra for this powerful class. There are excellent form guides and explanations along the way, for someone new or for reminders for those of us who have done many classes before. I felt this class especially in the front of my thighs where they connect with my hips, my shoulders and arms (hello pushups and planks sprinkled in!) and my hamstrings and glutes. High energy and powerful class, broken down one stair (or one choreographical move) at a time.

Glorious sculpt and sweat, with quick pace and changes especially in the beginning to get that sweat. It brought all Signature moves, cardio dance, barre, ball, and mat work. The sprinkling of plank and push ups here and there make it more accessible (so does the pause/rewind button!). Perfect for that summer heat and warmth (doing this in July 2024, but this would feel very warming on a cold day in another season). Great summertime playlist! Very brief weights and not as much releve throughout this class.

Super quickie cardio burst, with simple moves with quick counts and quick changes, but repeating so you can easily catch it. Perfect add-on to another class, such as an arms or a core/abs class, but wonderful as a short and sweet stand alone to get your heart rate up and breath flowing (if you're short on time or cannot commit to a longer class but still want to get in a workout). No equipment, all standing (with a lean forward balance on one leg with the other leg stretching and arabesque'ing behind you). No post-class stretch included in this short class, so add your own.

Wow, this class is so well guided by Marnie. She is specific and thorough, calm but moving at that slightly quicker feeling 'stretch flow' pace. This class worked in the small space while traveling (solo mom w/ kiddo and niece), to calm and stretch my body (muscles and nervous system) before bed. My thoughts are distracted, and seriously Marnie's cues and guidance brings you back. I had it favorited, but May 2023 me didn't even know how good this would feel again! Stretched and more relaxed/calm. 

Love a good kayak ride! Keep moving through it all during this family time, so you can experience and feel it, and not absorb it. Family can be the essence of “it’s complicated.” 🩵

Healing Hips classes are on so many #mbodyglobalfam frequently revisited list for good reason, and this class will not be an exception. It is more of an active flow, warming perhaps more than other Healing Hips classes, keeping us close to the mat and moving with intentional and ongoing flow. It felt wonderful! These classes remain so helpful before and during menstrual cycles, and when you need comfort in movement without jumps, bounces, or even many pulses. All you need is yourself and a mat, and some space to the sides of your mat.

What a beautiful birthday class to greet a new year, Happy Birthday, Caroline!
