I love this… except my mixed feelings about manifesting some serious arm work! 💪💪

Alyssa Klein maybe there can be an emo song featured, because those unexpected ones can getcha in all the right ways. 😉

I second/third Dancing On My Own (or Bulletproof) and Rise Up… classic M/BODY right there!

Vivrant Thing and Lemon also help me get lower to the floor…

Pretty much anything from celebrations of Black History month playlists.

Also, throwing in some moody 90s music has been so welcomed (PJ Harvey GOT me when that played one class).

I love the unexpected blends at times. Cannot wait for this class!!!

I revisited this last night before bed, with a string of white lights encircling my mat and candlelight. It feels like a balletic, lyrical dance for your body to pair with the story you’re holding and living, A gentle choreographical story to tell when your body needs to release what your heart has held. ❤️

Scroll to minute marker 35:00 before class if you want to modify a plank/push-up position by being up at an angle and leaning on a couch, counter, or low bench. I did this Live and my arm muscles were twitching and then turned to Jello. Playback viewing gives the grace of the pause and rewind button, in case you need a moment (or many moments) in this class. Given its short length, we really roll through with very limited “breaks.” The choreography moves so we are not solidly on both wrists the entirity of class, but we are moving through positions or actively holding a position throughout. This class was a challenge! No jumps, a little bounce in warmup, and optional jacks in plank. Marnie makes challenging moves more accessible, but this still felt like a WhoopAss class in just 20 minutes. I dropped down a few times, and I feel like jello after, but I know I am stronger now after completing this class, and you will be too. 💪

Happy Birthday + 1 extra day!!! Cheers Cass! 🎂🩵

Happy belated, sweet Leah!! Gorgeous flowers and cheers to your new year ahead!

Beautiful, accessible, comforting, and empowering. ❤️

Ohhh yes to brain activation at 100%, so many form details to continue practicing and coming back to, so much centerline crossing, such a sweaty ball trying to escape, creating a FULL body workout + elevated heart rate + detoxing sweat. The previous comments helped me know this class required attention, playful curiosity, and some patience and laughter with myself, so I saved it for a day I had that available to me (thank you #mbodyglobalfam for those helpful comments so I knew what to expect since I missed this Live!). I paused and went back 10-20 seconds *several* times to get the movement sequence correct and maintain the reps. Challenging and favorited, so many choreographical sequences I loved, especially the floor work and the gorgeous stretch at the end incorporating the ball throughout. We move from standing, floor, standing, floor. Movement ball is all over (gripped in hands, under feet, behind knee, in between thigh and ribs) and yes anything can work but truly the give and the support of the M/BODY Movement ball is superior to the variety of playground balls I’ve borrowed from my child in the past.

Begins with a 2 minute lymph tapping/rubbing start, then into our class warmup. We pick up the hand weights after maybe 4 minutes of stretching and heart rate raising with compound arm and leg movements, and we do not drop those suckers until the end. This class incorporates compound choreography moves, and I second Tanisha about listening to Marnie's form guidance for proper focus for safety and muscle engagement. Within 1/3 of class I noticed we are moving constantly but the pace is intentional and almost slows down rather than speeds up. We are living in muscle movement & engagement, this is NOT a fast and furious blur of a M/<30 class, but an opportunity to be here now & focused (until your arms leave you for the afterlife). YES arms & abs, but YES leg work as well. Ball under feet in releve and supporting back on mat (def recommend!) Zero planks/push-ups here. Loved closing with "You don't have to make radical changes to your life to radically change the life you're living."❤️
