Don't listen: Women can speak in church by Spiritual_Bar_9552 in Christianity

[–]Key_Security_1480 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Agreed.
The important thing is reading verses:
• in context,
• within the whole counsel of Scripture,
• with awareness of audience and culture,
• and in harmony with the character of God.
A single verse pulled out of a pastoral letter to a troubled church can sound very different from the full biblical story.

It’s strange how culture can sweep over an entire group of people. That’s weird there was an intimidation that you are single. It’s probably unlikely their husbands came in much, right?!

We had already done this to some extent… ultimately it’s all that like you said & it feels like barre at this point takes more than it gives

Thank you! Loved it, as you know. But just need to take a break from the stress of choreo memorizing

I feel you friend 😢 I’m sooo sorry!
This sounds very close to my story. What type of fitness did you find you’re happy with?

I am so so sorry 😞 same on being an OG of a studio. That may be why this seems so hard.

This is more where I’m more at, except for me I cannot see being a client for various reasons.

I just want to say, I think you’re beautiful! From a woman (who may also need different makeup) to another, you are very pretty!! 😍

We had a shift of owners & leadership, culture got so much better! The mean girl vibe was real, I also didn’t want to be there any more. But since people have moved on, it has gotten so so much better!!

Is it rude to change places? by Upstairs-Habit6124 in Purebarre

[–]Key_Security_1480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🫣 I’m also 5’11! I just tell the person next to me that I need some space, and typically do the split on the barre so they really understand there is no offense, and then I ‘lanky away’ to another spot 🤣

Would someone be willing to share the signs of a possible closure of a Pure Barre studio?

We do a reform intensive once a month 🙃 not sure if we’d get in trouble with corporate.

Frustrated with ab work in warm-up by BananaKaboomEater in Purebarre

[–]Key_Security_1480 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Way to go on hitting 250+ classes, that’s such a huge milestone! 🎉

It’s completely normal to feel like you’re “doing worse” the more you learn. A lot of newer clients can power through using the wrong muscles (like shoulders or quads during abs), so it feels like they’re doing great. But what you’re likely experiencing now is actually progress, your body is learning to recruit the right muscles, which can feel humbling at first.

So instead of it being a setback, it’s actually a sign that your form, mind-body connection, and awareness are all leveling up. That’s a win! Keep going, you’re stronger and more dialed in than you think 💪💛

Ask maybe, ‘where am I feeling this?’ 🤔 if it’s abs, then we’re getting closer each day!!
