Thank you for sharing something vulnerable. I’m sure many can relate. While I cannot, I do like the idea of reclaiming. Reclaiming parts and all of our bodies that we perceived were for others, or were shamed to have, or that we chose to share (such as through pregnancy). But to mindfully, intentionally, and actively tell ourselves and our bodies that all parts of us are ours. Regardless of size, societal expectations, or history. Setting that boundary now in adulthood that no one can misuse or abuse any parts of us. We release the shame or guilt. I’m not sure if any of that would help, but it can be a powerful practice to try. Sending love to you as a whole person, all the parts and pieces that make up you.

Very low impact and while there is a focus on the back and arms, it did not feel strenuous. 👍

Clearly I was at this class a month ago based on comments, but this was PERFECT for traveling and for after driving for 5 hours. It’s challenging in form (aka room for growth), but it’s still SO much fun to make these shapes! This has a slightly slower pace, so I am sending love to Lindsey and anyone else in the M/BODY global fam who finds that a more challenging rather than welcoming pace. Great class to explore!

Did this one Live and revisited today as part of the 21-Day Building Resilience Board. This class.... let me tell you. Longer cardio and fast-moving classes intimidate me. Yet the moves and flow are so joyful, and Marnie is so encouraging, that this type of class (signatures moves in a lot of red and orange with cardio bursts) are so perfect. It's like learning to swim but in calm, warm, turquoise water. Yes I still checked the time remaining more than once, yes I paused, to catch my breath and sip water. yes I dropped down and popped back up. But there is joy to meet these challenges. Favoriting to remember to come back to it as it just FEELS good doing it, despite it infusing some personally challenging elements for me.

Loved this one live, and appreciated returning to it. Great sculpt using the hand weights and our body weight. It was an extra challenge keeping the weight behind my super sweaty leg by the time we were on all fours (or a tripod of limbs).

This was a great review of signature moves and my booty was feeling it, my legs were shaking at the barre, my arm was randomly shaking, and those ab moves will getcha- but in a good way!

I would LOVE to go! Not sure if I can swing 5 days this October though. As much as I want to be there (and will still look up airfare and childcare whenever I know location), but I hope our European fam can experience IRL. ❤️❤️❤️

The “sweat” classes always intimate me going into it, but we can do ANYTHING for 30 mins! And it moves through quickly, so they’re always worth it. At the end, Marnie’s words about accepting where you are were gold to hear. Then she goes into a lot of detail about celery juice- noting this here in case you need guidance for a M/BODY Challenge board.

I love when Marnie breathes new life into “signature” moves w/ new choreo combos, so my mind doesn’t wander. This class was sweaty, it was fast-paced, and HOLY ABS! Included a helpful explanation of where we should be rooted on the big toe (not the toe itself apparently) and some other form notes. Enough challenges within that I will definitely come back to this one.

Forgot to add: SUCH a good Brittney Spears playlist in this class!
