All programs are minimal to no equipment, it’s always optional.What program will you challenge yourself to?
Ask yourself this….
What is something non negotiable for you during the week?
For example, what is something you must do for yourself to allow yourself to feel happy, recharged, grounded. Maybe a butter flow, treating yourself to your favorite meal once a week, seeing your friends twice a week, saying no to going out when you feel like you need to rest.
Why do you feel doing these activities are so significant for your well -being?
If you have yet to set a routine for yourself, what would you like your non negotiable to be?
Mine is walking up for coffee on a Saturday morning, sitting outside with our my phone, watching the world around me as a slowly wake up. Another one is, on Friday and Saturday nights my phone is place din the kitchen, away from me, this helps me feel more relaxed. I like to plan two coffee dates or walks with friends to catch up and hang out, this helps me get outside and balance work-life worlds. Lastly, I love to run in Central Park or along the water on weekends, this allows me to feel more grounded and free.
Booty By Mich changed the game for me and my movement routine. Like many others, I found BBM at the height covid, when my yoga and spin studio closed. I was so glad to find something I could do in the comfort of my own living room where I felt safe. I still remember a class I did one early morning with the sun rising, candles lit and Nils Frahm playing from my phone and Michelle led us through a visual meditation of sitting on the bottom of the ocean floor - and wow, that was a beautiful moment for me in the depths of the pandemic. I expected to like BBM but what I didn’t expect was to fall so deeply in love with this practice. Michelle has such a way of tuning you into your own mind and body and listening to what it is telling you, rather than focusing on what other people are doing or achieving. I have a super tight body and have always been inflexible and “locked up” - which is only made worse by my work of being a chef and a business owner who is either hunched over a cutting board or a laptop. These workouts have opened me up by building sustainable strength through tiny, consistent movements. I’ve also taken up running and the BBM classes are the perfect compliment to supporting my body for this. I am so grateful for these classes, for the moments of pause, for the time to turn towards myself and be present all while getting my a** kicked! Thank you forever Michelle! x
