Everything I wrote was true in my re-visit a year and a half later - so much chest opening, barre leg work one at a time was FIRE, I now have 5 lb. hand weights and do not need to fuss with wrist weights to add on, and ending on our back maintained the challenge. Between doing the Palentine's 2026 class yesterday and this one today: what an ass-tastic weekend!

This no-equipment, lower impact class created heat, accelerated my heart rate, but still keeps my body feeling safe and calm and awakened. Pace is intentional and not frantic, but I was still keeping up in certain sequences to hit each mark. My apple bottom part of my glutes and side glutes are feeling this next day, as is my core. When I revisit I may use my Movement ball behind my back for the abs at the end, but it was doable as a no equipment for sure. We are engaging some up and down movements, such as a low back knee in lunge and sequences where we are standing, working down to the floor to lengthen a leg out and then return to a stand/squat. Some beautiful hip stretching as well. This was hours before my cycle began and yet the energy and pace and exertion was so perfect.

We celebrated a belated birthday of Spagz and her gigantic heart and Spirit, and acknowledged the Marnieversary of Jessica G (and my 4 year one!). I don’t think I will ever tire of expressing my gratitude for this movement practice, this healthy body approach Marnie speaks of in every class, and the beautiful community of the #mbodyglobalfam. 🩵

"not enough gentleness in this world" for real for real! I adore this hip opening class, perfect after lots of sitting as it focuses so much on front hip stretches, and also a blessing for my nervous system.

Such a lovely quick class that is done before you even realize what is happening!

Amanda Powell PERFECT! Especially as Marnie said in the beginning class chat, even if you’re not doing it Live you’re still connected as someone in the world is probably doing a class at the same time. Just finished and commented- and LOVE that we were doing it at the same time on different coasts. 🩵

Strength and power in softness, gorgeous Signature class that was familiar but not the exact same. Opportunities for impact and bounce, but this class can be a lower impact one. Proud Mary plank dancing, "rolling sautés are for lovers," and abs that softly burn. Movement ball under feet at the barre and utilized down on the mat (behind our back and in between knees for abs). Fabulous playlist - and HBD Amanda!

Doing this after a heavier weights class the day before had me feeling all of my muscle activation. Those straight side leg lifts are so tricky for me to keep my hips down! Practice will make progress…. 🩵

Revisiting this one felt just as challenging and just as badass to complete. 💪

Powerful, paced, mindful, strong. We use two hand weights and are invited to hold both in one hand (if you work between a few hand weights maybe have all your options close by). The ankle weights also add some oomph! All standing, sculpting, low to no impact (you can jump in the warmup or just shake it out and make it all pulses and zero impact). This class brings the shoulder work, complete arm work, leg, and booty work. Bless Marnie for her form guidance and reminders; squaring of hips, neutral spine or sticking booty out intentionally, all of those details explained help me keep that meditative focus. My booty was burning a bit, perhaps from last Live class (/525) but probably all of the above. Aaand playlist was awesome (more indie vibes overall in the song selection and some global artists included). Looking forward to revisiting again and again! 

HBD class to Marnie’s one year old pup Rye, and to our #mbodyglobalfam babes Stephanie F and Molly P!

The booty burn is so real, and can be increased with those optional ankle weights and the simple but powerful effort of dropping lower (from those hips and not your chest or head). Holy smokes across all the muscle groups of the glutes. The flow and pace were wonderful for this deep, intentional work and choreography combos. Marnie’s words guide form for ultimate glutey access and protection of your knees and alignment in general. Looking forward to revisiting this one, and fully anticipate my beautiful bum will be sassing me tomorrow with every stair step and functional squat motion in my daily life.
