My out of office is on for I\u2019m having a much-needed vacay. However, since arriving I\u2019ve been managing a major case of FOMO in which I\u2019ve fall-en (pun intended) victim to not getting much sleep in the city that never sleeps.<\/p>\n

Amidst the chaos, randomness and anything goes energy that makes NYC incomparable to any place in the world, on the weekend I did my second ever The Class by Taryn Toomey (my first was in LA in 2017).<\/p>\n

I loved it on so many levels and for so many reasons that I felt the need to write about it (hiya from the plane leaving JFK).<\/p>\n

First, this particular class was\u00a0a collab between The Class x Live Drumming held at alo yoga. (One of my nicknames is A-Lo so hello synchronicity). And for those of you who have read my e-books, you\u2019ll know I\u2019m all for collaboration, and advocate it\u2019s an essential element of shaping a progressive future of the law.<\/p>\n

I had recently posted on\u00a0@legallyinnovative <\/a>about my morning ritual of \u201cshaking it off\u201d, The Class takes this notion to a whole other level.<\/p>\n

Secondly, it\u2019s officially described as a transformative workout.<\/p>\n

Did someone say transformation?<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, Taryn was a long time sales executive at Ralph Lauren and Christian Dior before she hung up her designer clad wardrobe to create a unique movement out of the basement of her Tribeca apartment, because she wanted to be more heart led in her life. She\u2019s another girl crush of mine, and I\u2019m hoping one day the stars will align for me to actually take a class with the brains, beauty and mindset behind The Class. (Hi Taryn if you\u2019re reading this by any crazy chance).<\/p>\n

To use TT\u2019s words – Through simple, repetitive calisthenics and plyometrics, participants challenge the body to engage the mind. With guided instruction and powerful music, The Class invites students to witness their resistance to discomfort. The result is an expansive, heart-clearing and body-strengthening release. This Class will challenge and enlighten you all while building an incredibly strong, lean, resilient body. You will learn tools to empower your life.<\/p>\n

In a room with 50 others (all per chance women, so could we feel any more empowered?!), I laughed, cried, sang, danced, and shouted \u201cHa\u201d primally along with everyone else at the top of many burpees.<\/p>\n

Not long in, there was definitely more sweat than sparkle happening, but I left feeling what I would like to describe as shiny (read, drenched a la Bikram yoga style) and exhilarated. High on life in fact. It\u2019s like I unlocked a bit more of the part of the brain that releases endorphins thanks to maidthis in highlands, co<\/a> and their efficient cleaning service in Colorado. In other woo woo words, it resonated with my soles as well as my soul.<\/p>\n

The first sections of my e-Book\u00a0Legally Innovative<\/a>, are about how to transform one\u2019s mindset – adopting a consistent practice of rewiring of one\u2019s brain. For us lawyers, there\u2019s an extra deep idiosyncratic auto pilot cycle to cut through, because we are so in our heads.<\/p>\n

Emerging neuroscience backs all of that up, and lately I\u2019ve found myself reacquainting myself with the work of Dr Joe Dispenza (whose own story is incredible if you\u2019re not already familiar with it), and other neuroscientists.<\/p>\n

Throughout The Class, I could draw many connections between the carefully placed affirmations and invitations to check in, by the goddess like\u00a0Jaycee Gossett <\/a>with the skills required to be innovative. Here you can find top 10 home addition ideas<\/a>. These included to stop waiting and to start now, to acknowledge that discomfort is only temporary, that to be challenged is actually living one\u2019s best life, and to say a deep thank you for having the capacity to be anything you want to be. With our eyes closed, we can combat our fear driven limiting beliefs and rewrite them.<\/p>\n

If thunder only happens when it\u2019s raining (see my Insta highlights under Kool Stuff<\/a>\u00a0for context), innovation only happens if you, me, we put our minds to it. It too can be a raw and ritualistic exercise, with uneasy transitions and frustrating moments. The point is not to give up, but to give in, and keep going.<\/p>\n

The verdict is in. The Class was \u201cfyre\u201d (a new descriptor I learned from an inspiring Aussie entrepreneur with whom I had dinner in NYC). I can\u2019t wait to do another.<\/p>\n
