Joyful and beautiful, felt like a class of hope, connection, and “we can do hard things.” The cardio dance was bouncy and jumpy to awaken the heart and build bone density, the elongated weighted arms (5 lbs.) worked my arms/shoulders/ back so deeply, then my legs were shaking, and then from waist down was WORKED at the barre. Ass toasted like flutes of champagne. Our #mbodyglobalfam Alyssa K. beautifully amplified the “salt water heals” as her song recs can bring some tears after I was already sweaty. Ball use includes our hands while in wide second, under feet, behind shoulders, and in between knees in hip bridge. Excellent multi-use of the Movement ball. Happy Pride Month!

Happy Marnieversary Lindsey J and happy belated Marnieversary Lizamary!

I’m revisiting my extensive Favorites list and this one was such a leg burn and glute activator! We use one hand weight (I went with 5 lb.) so one arm can work while our lower body does her thing. The joy of the original class, just before I went to NYC for a weekend of M/BODY, is a warming memory of June 2022.

LindseyJ I love the connection!

Ansley so glad you’re here and you were in the Live class yesterday for your Marnieversary! Your words ring familiar and true for so many of us… while the twists and turns on our journeys are not all the same, the feelings are relatable and the refuge of classes (for our mental and emotional healing as well as physical healing and re-learning [‘remembering’ what our bodies already know we need, perhaps]) seems universal in our special M/BODY community. Thank goodness for something like this to lean into as part of our healing. Very cool to hear you feel happier and healthier, cheers to that progress and growth! ✨ And please pass along my pets to that 85 lb snuggle butt pup.

FYI my glutes were feeling this class for 3 full days afterward.

Sooo since the glute muscles quieted and I had a little extra energy and time, I revisited this class 4 days later (with gliders!).
