I started this class feeling cranky, and by the end I am calmer, I am feeling more flexible and reminded of my strength. I always love a warrior pose as well!

The floor series of this class in the final 2/3 or so of the time was wild - it was firey, it was challenging, it was freeing. The whole class was good, although it did feel like a long 60 minutes (which is likely my own energy level not necessarily reflective of the class). Definitely try this class, it has a little bit of everything! I feel all my muscles from my back, arms, stomach, hips (loved the hip stretches!), and certainly my legs to my feet. Amazing!

This is a great class! It's familiar moves and yet they felt different. You're going through class and then all of the sudden when the weights start to feel almost too heavy, it's okay because it's time to move to the floor. And then so quickly afterward, you're doing your final stretches and hearing Marnie's beautiful messages of imbalance to find balance and our connections to the earth, stars, and each other. Wonderful 30 minute class!

This class connects you with your power! It is quick-paced, filled with combos that keep your brain active/present, and detoxing with all of the cross-centerline moves and sweat. I loved the kickboxing inspo and will keep coming back to this class in the catalog! Love that this is Danni’s birthday class!! ❤️🥳❤️

Love this! We planted a peach tree in Maryland (U.S. near Washington, DC) but our lovely squirrels have ravished the peaches before we could.

And please continue to CHOOSE people (friends/partners) in your life who DO honor and value you. Who address choices or behaviors that may worry them, but do not criticize you or judge you. We don’t get to choose our families, so we sometimes need a lot of creative support in how to manage relationships with them, and that may be choosing more space (physically and emotionally). But for those people you do get to choose to be connected to, choose wisely, based on who you can reciprocate those beautiful connections with, that you are deserving of and that you give to others. Thank you for being so loving when a caregiver has raised you questioning how love/guidance/advice is given. Trust she loves you even though it may be shown in maladaptive ways. And trust you can still get your needs met outside of that mother/daughter relationship, and can experience healthier relationships with other people. Sending you hugs! ❤️❤️

So it’s HER issues, not a reflection of you/your worth/what you did or have not done. That mindset may help shield your heart from internalizing her comments. But it doesn’t stop them or change her. Sometimes we can say out loud to those loved ones WHY we don’t call or visit as much; how their comments make us feel; what we wish was different. Sometimes that helps them see our perspective in the dynamic, but other times they view that as our issue and not theirs. Please hold onto the knowledge of duality. You can love someone and not love their choices. You can love someone and need much more firm boundaries w/ them compared to others. You are not a “bad” person for honoring what you need….

Nicole, that is so tough. I wish you could have the connection you crave and luckily know you are worthy of. I honor how aware you are what you wish for and how you wish the visits made you feel compared to how it is with your mother. I bet that means you are so mindful in your other relationships to help your loved ones feel seen and heard and met wherever they are, and I bet they feel good after visits/calls with you. It shows how you are still able to give and create what you may not have received. Does considering “doing the best she can with what she knows” or considering that she may be so judgmental and critical as her OWN issues that unfortunately fall on those around her, but are a reflection of her and not of you? I wonder if that can help you create some emotional space…
