The class picture is Marnie’s current favorite move and it is part of this celebration of play class. Wonderful playlist! Warmups invite options to jump and options to move like you. There are also some traditional barre moments that invite your Badass Ballerina self to show up (the coupé with a pulse sent me). We use all equipment: barre, hand weights (in traditional sequences), and we use the Movement ball in between our legs at the barre as well as down on the mat (behind our back, between our knees and legs). Playful crunches on the mat. For your space, be aware we change sides at the barre (so moving your barre or changing which direction you face so the inner foot is right and later left). Class is playful, lighthearted energy, with reminders to soften your face and jaw because it isn’t serious and those muscles aren’t being called to engage. Note to future me: next time have the ball ready for in between your knees when kneeling on your shins b/c your Millenial knees need that support just as much as your emotional support water bottle.

Agreed with appreciation for the comments to read before trying this class! This felt like a full body flow, all hand weights throughout class. We engage more alternating sides than totally working one side before moving onto the other. All standing until the final stretches, tummy down on the mat, to stretch our lats and lower back. I look forward to returning to this class again! The views of the moves were super helpful- thank you Marnie and Katelyn!
