Greetings Everyone!
I suffer from panic disorder and sometimes after a workout I get panic attacks. I have spoken with a few friends who also experience this from time to time. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to prevent attacks? I do try to balance challenging myself with being compassionate, but it still happens occasionally.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Hugs to all.
Jenna
A quick early Happy Birthday to my fellow 5/24 Birthday peeps ahead of Saturday's class!! Gutted to miss a birthday class. Will catch up later. xo
I see that a new schedule may be coming soon… May I humbly request a new XXX signature? 🌶️🔥👯♀️
After close to a decade of M/Body (&Barre Belle!) my thoughtful husband and sweet son gifted me a barre of my very own for Mothers Day! I’m so grateful for Marnie, the M/BODY team and this inspiring community. Just finished a 45 min barre sculpt and it was glorious, felt almost like the studio days! Cheers to even more fun at the mat!💕💕💕
Did anyone else read the May Community Spotlight email featuring Tricia Nelson and think ”she sounds so cool!”?? 🤩
…a random 30 min, and discovering it was your birthday dance from 2022 (165) and hearing a shoutout from Marnie! Marnie, your encouragement lives on 💜💛💜Who else loves hearing their names unexpectedly? 🧚🏽♀️🎡
The latest healing 60 minute signature was really special - Marnie’s words inspired me to spend some time reflecting and just being. I realized that the practice of coming to the mat consistently has built not only physical strength and alignment, but also a feeling of peace with myself in my body. Today I stepped into the world feeling confident and content, felt the centering and joy of knowing I am caring for myself through movement. The community here is a blessing too - all love to you all! May we all grow and heal together!
Far-flung MBody Fam! After many years seeing Mayo on the community board, I met this wonderful human being on our trip from London to Osaka for a hot bowl of Ramen 🍜. She can only be described as kick-ass and is a total inspiration in following your dreams, being yourself and making things happen. We spoke about our different lives, Japanese vs UK culture, the stories of our families, to-be children, and dreamed of doing an IRL Marnie class one day. This was my first IRL meet within the community and it was a real joy. This community really brings together inspirational women and good, positivity-radiating people. Keep doing them if you can! Anyone else in the UK who wants to meet some time over summer in London?
P.S. Shoutout to husband for being our photographer 📸
Just checking in here to see is there a live class on Saturday. Tomorrow of Memorial Day ?
Five Year Marnie-versary: Top 5 Lessons
This marker feels significant so I wanted to celebrate what M/Body lessons have changed my life. Whether you've been part of the Global Fam for 5 weeks, 5 months or 5+ years, here's what I would have shared with myself when I joined in May 2020.
This workout is for you too. It is inclusive in all ways and one random day, the move that has been challenging for so long will suddenly become second nature.
Good mood? Do the workout. Bad mood? Do the workout. I have started classes in all sorts of moods but I've ended classes only feeling refreshed and positive. Let your body help your mind.
There is a lot of wisdom being offered in between the reps, take what you need. Some things that have stayed with me: no more compromises, you have someone who loves you, you are safe and you are well, we love a wiggle.
I have become more honest, vulnerable and brave because I've spent over a thousand hours practicing those qualities on the mat. The work starts in our sacred space and then follows us out into the world.
Here are my top forever 5 workouts: #40 Halloween, #74 Women's history, #279 Knock out boxing, #347 80's Greatest hits, #428 Mariah Carey Xmas.
Be in the light,
xoxo
