Ok I just tried to attach a pic of my medalist and it won’t stay. Imagine a cute and sweaty child wearing a finisher’s medal and a “bronze” medal. There ya go! 🥉

Just did this class since I couldn’t make it Live today. Remember these 60 min classes flow quickly. Some of the choreography felt challenging mentally and physically tonight. Being 3 months into almost daily M/BODY has helped me acknowledge the frustration when it builds and then reframe that this is exploratory, playful, and as long as I am moving my body I am good. If I’m off beat or messing up the sequence I’m still good. I appreciate the growth in all areas of wellness. ❤️ All parts of me felt this workout; I’m especially noticing it in my legs, hips, glutes, and core.

** I was less sore after the second time (compared to feeling it for a few days after doing this class live)

I always love a badass ballerina class that brings graceful movements to a sometimes clumsy body! This is VERY low to no impact, all standing, with a burn in the legs and a focus on postural alignment of trunk. I am always so amazed at Marnie's choreography creations - the earlier moves warm up the muscles for the middle of class, and then the ending of class gives that release and stretch to the muscles that felt the fire earlier. Those ending leg stretches made my burning quads feel like they were remembered and honored for the work they just did for me.

The choreography provided such a deep fire in the glutes, hips and abs! I kept Marnie’s words from other classes about “being fueled by the fire not consumed by it.” I love work on all fours and yet I had to tell myself to keep going as the challenge was real! I am favoriting this and will be back to it. How do we get such an increased heart rate and sweat and burn with minimal jumping and no weights?? *Marnie Magic*

💃🥳

So my husband is actually ok with re-scheduling our anniversary plans so I can make this happen!!! I cannot believe I’m going to see some of you in person!! Ahhh! 😍😍😍

Great suggestions on authors and podcasts! Yes these are definitely part of my arsenal to continue shifting my thoughts and practice what I preach. It’s enlightening and validating.

(2/2) So we all can fall prey to that comparison/lacking/not enough BS. If you have the time/energy, consider exploring where those opinions originated from. What we hear growing up becomes our framework, but that’s not always accurate or serving. A critical caregiver? Preferences of someone we liked but crush was not mutual? Glossy magazines? Feeling bad about things we cannot change does nothing for us, so minding the energy expense without receiving may help motivate the practice of shifting. Embracing what your body can do for you; my broad shoulders can carry things. My small boobs still fed my baby. It’s functional.repeatedly practice positive self-talk as corny as that is until it becomes something you can own. And find your village of loving support- like this beautiful global fam that appreciates you’re here and sharing something vulnerable. We can chat more anytime if that feels good for you. 🖤
