Class starts at minute mark 4:40. While totally no equipment and good for on-the-go, I chose to grab hand weights for the arm dance (and slowed it down slightly as a result) and I opted for the modification to use my Movement ball behind my lower back during the Pilates crunches. This brings optional jumps, this brings mixes of standing/down on the mat/standing to shake it up and keep it moving. I found myself breathless and sweaty at multiple points during this approximately 50 minute workout, and I feel wonderful afterward.

I really liked the choreography setup of this class, it flowed so nicely! I felt ignition of side muscles and the class description is on point with the areas we work. We are up at the barre briefly a few times but floor mat glutes (with core activitation and arm strengthening) breaks it up nicely. We are invited for three and four sets of 8, as this power class celebrates the end of a year (and a Challenge) and all of the growth within. Yet this class also highlights many modification options (different not better) so this class is ready to challenge you and connect you to yourself no matter which options you choose in class today. I love Marnieās words of making shapes throughout class, and at the end of class visualizing what shape we want to move toward (the description following makes me think of the state of our bodies as connected to our being: energized, rested, mobile, flexible) and highlights again my adoration for a movement practice that focuses on our wellness journey but does not focus on the size and the appearance (yet I appreciate hearing the specifics of what muscles we are engaging). Solid 60 min Signature class!
