Yaaaaay for IRL time together and hugs and of COURSE Faith’s hand painted kazoos! 🥰💖

I *LOVE* IRL meet ups!!! Horray Marisol and Leah!! 😍💖

Yesssss I LOVE the sass, empowerment, and hip openers of XXX classes! This class kept up the tempo, felt like 2/3 standing, had powerful booty barre sequences, and brought the ongoing heat with the floor series with a lot of holds in the core work. Warm, awoken, and worked is how I felt after this class!

A floor flow class that varies from many of our others, come here for a different floor flow. Choreography invites exploration of wrist placement on the floor (finger tips traditionally face forward away from us but we can try fingertips facing away from our sides or fingers facing back toward our body). We incorporate some standing (low/squatting options) into the flow bringing us up and back down to the floor). I love a movement ball balance under the knee and it works the front of my hips and upper thighs so uniquely. This floor flow does not incorporate planks and pushups, and while we have some quick changes it is not bouncy and cardio, but had me flushed. Great way to build energy for your day. Toward the end when we are working on our second and final set Marnie says we don't have to do it again and M/BODY mantras are so embedded within me after years of practice that I said (to no one) "we GET to do this!" 

Edit To Add: the next day my legs felt so wonderfully stretched from the elongation moves we did, but the muscle activation in my obliques and around the entire sides of my core and lower back snuck up on me!

Thank you! So helpful; knees, alignment, feet, supplements, smoothies, hypermobility, C-sections, etc. etc.

No impact which means ankle weights can be on from the warm up through cool down stretches (optional fairy jumps at the barre are the only impact option). Super sweaty, high intensity work for legs and all muscle groups of your booty. Slower, controlled movements to linger in muscle activation, with choreography that builds upon itself. Standing for more than half of class, with mat work in table top position, bridge, and plank positions to close. Lean into the fire!

What a beautiful space to be in, to feel the hope and trusting your direction. So happy for you, sweet Louise! 🩵

Omg Brittney!!!! I am so excited for you!!! This is amazing, I hope you’re taking all those deep breaths and definitely dancing through the journey. Congrats momma!! 🩵🩵

Of all the things that I admire about you, your beautiful, soft, strong heart always shines through. It is comforting reading your words and witnessing you embody love, choosing love, no matter what. You are a blessing, Jessica! Thank you for sharing. 💖

All-standing balletic strength class, holding one handweight at a time (I used my usual 3 lb.) and the foot closest to the barre is on the Movement ball in relevé. This class brings the month’s theme of balance to the forefront as we work top/bottom, right/left. There were some interesting angles at the barre as we turn our outside foot and leg, which I’m not explaining well but the it creates standing healing hip work. As Lindsey commented, lots of wide second in relevé. I was sweating. My legs were shaking. It’s a few hours after doing this class and I am feeling my lower back and obliques as well. Whew!
