This brought the sweat! I felt stronger from top to bottom afterward. No equipment needed, but hydrate!

Loved this class (especially the shoutout to my child at the barre series)! This was a class that brought the heat and sweat, with a focus on gratitude throughout. 

Wonderfully easy to follow along with choreography (easy to follow but muscle activation from shoulders to feet). I appreciate Marnie's reminders that different options are not better or worse, simply different. I appreciate how a fairly simple move can become more challenging with slight adjustments. I appreciate the message at the end of the cool-dawn stretches. This was a class Signature class that moves with a nice pace and was over before I realized an hour had passed. This was my Christmas in July class (completed July 19, 2024 as I work on going through the entire M/BODY catalog of classes to explore). 

Incredibly mentally engaging and had me sweating and feeling some serious muscle engagement. Totally all floor (no standing), mostly in variations of being on all fours/tabletop position, occasionally upright on our knees (shoelaces of tops of feet against the ground). I opted for ankle weights (whew!!). While this class shared tips for reducing wrist stress, we are in a lot of weight-bearing-on-wrists moves (great arm muscle work, but be aware if you are healing from a wrist injury). This flow had me on both sides of my mat, so I needed a lot of space around for the glorious leg stretches and movement. I was disappointed to miss this Live, however it was SO HELPFUL to have the playback with pause and rewind. The choreography sequences were a bit more complex for me and I really needed to tune in and focus. "Flow" means we are moving from move to move with intentional pace, but we are not rushing through the movements. A wonderfully "be here now in the present moment" class!

Echoing comments before me- this very brief all standing ballet sculpt and stretch class brings the warmth and sweat, feels strong and graceful, involves one weight at the barre (I used my regular 3 lbs but Marnie used a 5 lb hand weight) and we have one foot on the ball while in relevé. There are no jumps but we pulse. I did this early in the morning and yes it builds energy, although the balletic strength flow could be a great class for anytime including into the evening. No cardio bursts in the normal push, but it is a slow flow burn and it was over long before I was ready for it to be (despite feeling the work in a short class).

Signature class that brought a lot of stretch and elongation along with the sculpt; arms like wings, legs stretching at the barre behind us from side to side, and lots of great hip tucks and circles. The abs series on the mat felt pilates-inspired and had my muscles shaking. Class is quickly paced and also seemed to go quickly. Moves were not complex, but did require focus. This is (I think?) Katelyn (a M/BODY behind the scenes Queen) first Saturday Live - horray!

Accessibly short but still sweaty and brings the challenge to the deep core muscles with a fairly quick pace, starting while standing and ending on the floor for plank flow (no push-ups but still shoulder work included), on our sides, and on our backs. No equipment needed (ball mentioned as a modification option when in side plank). A lot of loving messages to our center/stomach/gut to pair with the movement.

Signature class, full body, with use of the M/ovement ball before the barre series while standing and again as a prop on the mat toward the end. Enjoying the cool down stretches incorporating stretches from the Healing Hips classes. Beautiful message at the end to make room and allow ease for it to come to you.

This class is a perfect introduction to M/BODY platform and a Signature class of classic moves- it was a great way to kick off a Challenge in 2023, so could be a wonderful way to kick off something you’re about to embark upon (new adventures, new job, new move, etc.). The work at a barre was a slow and deep burn of muscular activation.

Favorited! This Signature class brings SWEAT, the (feels so beautiful to move in that way) option during the cardio series of the move where booty-points-back-while-chest-is-lifted-and-one-knee-bends-while-other-leg-stretches-long to then move into a back curtsy lunge (started in last class of #390!). The M/ovement ball is used in between our legs and under one foot at the barre, in between legs for some quick plank/push-up flow, and behind our lower back while on the mat facing upward for core work. We incorporate one hand weight at the barre. The one leg barre series was straight fire… beautiful, beautiful fire! The entire class has helpful form guidance, and a great reminder about exercises and health and what is real verses a sales pitch. It is a total full-body workout in an hour, but time flew by. I don’t know how we can work so hard in an hour and then feel nourished and energized after, must be Marnie Magic that is M/BODY!
