Hey Lauren,
I just completed the Immersion and I really want to take advantage of the monthly unlimited. I feel like I'm on the weaker side right now. Will I hurt myself if I Lithe 5-6 times a week?
Great question, T. Remember that you'll be doubling your Lithing time, so you should absolutely ease into it.
Our monthly unlimited programs are good for 30 days from date of purchase, so I would advise taking three classes the first week, four classes during week two/three and then build up to 5 or 6 classes during week three and four.
Try to take advantage of Rare Form and Melt if you can. Also, our Lithe 101 is on the schedule to help clarify things. Some people stop in just to ask us if their form is on point or if they are doing a particular series correctly.
If your form is pretty good and you have no injuries or issues, you should be just fine. The best way to avoid injuries is to perfect your form, listen to your body and go slow in the beginning...You don't want to Boot-camp yourself!

I second that, ease into Lithing and listen to your body. Focusing on form is key, a lot of the cardio stamina just comes with time.
The 101 is a great suggestion! Gives you the general flow of a regular class, but with lots of extra special attention and tips on your form and how to perfect it!

Lauren,
Are you willing to share the Nail Spa that you referenced in the Philadelphia Magazine profile piece in October issue? I can't find a listing for Tierra Mia Organic Nail Spa and I eally need good services.
Thank you!
