Echoing Miranda that you need space for kicks (space encircling you, front/back/sides) and echoing Megan about this class getting you out of your thoughts - the choreography required all of my attention and there was no room for ruminations in class. I appreciate how Marnie keeps it real and allows us to see that sometimes these longer choreography series can even cause the pro to take a moment to get the series in the order she originally created. This was not jumpy but it was very cardio activating, heart-rate increasing, and sweaty. Another great one to step into when you are low on time and are ready to build some energy or release some energy.

All standing barre class (only down on the mat for the final wide straddle stretch and meditation). Zero impact class, no bounce or jumps, but serious leg work that stretches from toes up through postural core muscles. My legs were shaking, my hips were loosening and feeling so warmed up, and that balletic flow feels so beautiful even if I'm catching the choreography. Use of breath is so powerful for staying in the fire and for the leg lifts. Progress and not perfection always. Will return to this class when I need that balletic flow with ease of pulses instead of jumps (great class for headaches or sinus pressure when you need movement but bouncing and inversions do not feel good).
