Super quickie cardio burst, with simple moves with quick counts and quick changes, but repeating so you can easily catch it. Perfect add-on to another class, such as an arms or a core/abs class, but wonderful as a short and sweet stand alone to get your heart rate up and breath flowing (if you're short on time or cannot commit to a longer class but still want to get in a workout). No equipment, all standing (with a lean forward balance on one leg with the other leg stretching and arabesque'ing behind you). No post-class stretch included in this short class, so add your own.

Wow, this class is so well guided by Marnie. She is specific and thorough, calm but moving at that slightly quicker feeling 'stretch flow' pace. This class worked in the small space while traveling (solo mom w/ kiddo and niece), to calm and stretch my body (muscles and nervous system) before bed. My thoughts are distracted, and seriously Marnie's cues and guidance brings you back. I had it favorited, but May 2023 me didn't even know how good this would feel again! Stretched and more relaxed/calm. 

Love a good kayak ride! Keep moving through it all during this family time, so you can experience and feel it, and not absorb it. Family can be the essence of “it’s complicated.” 🩵

Healing Hips classes are on so many #mbodyglobalfam frequently revisited list for good reason, and this class will not be an exception. It is more of an active flow, warming perhaps more than other Healing Hips classes, keeping us close to the mat and moving with intentional and ongoing flow. It felt wonderful! These classes remain so helpful before and during menstrual cycles, and when you need comfort in movement without jumps, bounces, or even many pulses. All you need is yourself and a mat, and some space to the sides of your mat.

What a beautiful birthday class to greet a new year, Happy Birthday, Caroline!

This is a lovely flow that feels a lot like the the ending stretch of classes after doing them for several years (obviously this gorgeous stretch class was one of the early ones filmed). Great add-on, but truly a perfect on-the-mat stretch and nervous system calm on its own.

This was a great class today; my hips/glutes/legs are sassing me from the Chair Dance class (385) so I was seeking a class that allowed for some lower half stretches but focused on core and upper body. The playback of this class was glitchy for me (visually, audio didn’t seem to skip). I was able to listen through it, pause and rewind to catch a count on both sides. The arm on barre while planking on mat was intense and a fun challenge! The class felt stretchy and sculpty and I enjoyed it! I loved the ending closing meditation, FEAR: Face Everything And Rise.

Please see Shirin’s comment about minute 14 for getting in both sides- thank you for that note! This class uses a chair, optional ankle weights, and the M/ovement ball (but ball is only used at end as a placeholder for your back). This incredible class is an ass class, a hips class, a leg class… it works you in a unique way and activates muscles you will feel during and after. I was focusing on hip alignment and trying to have a strong core (not let my power slip out) while lifting my legs, and I will need to continue that focus when I return to this class. Marnie used wording of “front leg/back leg” which was throwing me off a bit, so I switched my sense of identifying side with right/left. This could be me just mentally overloaded before class and the struggle could have been me (not the wording). You need lots of leg stretching space around you, and we do move from standing to our knees a bit. There is some bounce in the warmup, but otherwise the flow is quick but not aerobic cardio intensive; the heat and sweat felt lower impact and anaerobic. Fabulous choreography flow, challenging (especially with ankle weights), and personal room for improvement will be lifting my leg higher while still keeping my hips leveled. Please try this chair dance class!

This is a wonderful class using hand weights and a ball to squeeze behind your knee during one leg lifts while while in a tabletop position on the mat. The choreography includes many Signature M/BODY moves that feel familiar in this practice and a lot of three sets of 8. As Marnie explains, this is purposeful to help the body flow in a no impact, anaerobic work that requires focus for form, but not focus for intricacy. When mentally or emotionally overwhelmed, this class is a warm hug for yourself. I’m still listening to the impromptu chat following the workout and stretch, and that is supportive and helpful too.
