Monique every cardio burst, every gooey-moving-like-honey slow sculpt moment, every message of love and joy and being from Marnie throughout (in addition to badass form guidance and reminders) is what keeps this class as one of my all-time favorites among my favorites. Perfect class to re-visit to honor another trip around the sun today.

Balletic grace with strength and inner focus; the M/BODY gliders are perfect for this (but fuzzy socks on hard flooring or paper plates on carpet can work if you don't have gliders). The positioning of the barre was a super helpful visual. I could see best when the working leg was closest to the camera, so starting with that side would be awesome if another class uses this barre position. My legs feel elongated and my glutes are activated, along with my lower back and core from following Marnie's form notes woven throughout class.

M/BODY Pride theme classes bring me so much happiness! We get Signature goodness and all props in a shorter (45 minute) timeframe. The warmup was bouncy/jumpy and brought the body heat, the hand weights incorporate chest openers (not where we raise straight arms behind us), standing work felt familiar as it intertwined some side lunge movement with salsa (I was craving/missing this around Cinco de Mayo this year and was so happy to have it today) and some curtsy lunge graceful leap/steps. At the barre we have one foot on the Movement ball with a working/dancing leg; a lot of small adjustments and movements to create major sensations. There were some brief old school heart-to-heart push-ups and brief planks. We bring the ball down with us on the mat for some quick ab/core work and side leg/glute/oblique work, and use downward dog choreography for inversions at the end. Fun playlist!

HBD Caroline S. and our fellow late June Cancer babes!

I am revisiting my Favs list and it wasn't until the class started I realized I've done this one multiple times - Marnie's quotes from this class have been typed into my Notes section of my phone and the playlist (Glass Animals and Black Keys!) hits. Great class!

Monique standing sweaty wonderfulness, felt great after a long car ride and some heavy lifting.
