This class can be done as a stand-alone class or as day 3 in Fiji's 14-Day Yoga Challenge, Elevate. In this class, Fiji shows you how to gradually make your way towards key yoga poses like wheel pose (urdhva dhanurasana) and halfmoon pose (ardha chandrasana). By teaching you how to work into these poses through three levels of progression, Fiji ensures that you will grow into them safely and effectively.

Wonderful for all levels.
Detailed, thorough, and connection are the words that come to my mind.
Fiji is excellent as a teacher and guide.

Fiji, this is a question. Why would I be getting cramp like sensations in the muscles/ligament? around my hips/top of leg, front and side, when doing the leg balances in this class. ie the half-moon poses. I know there is a logical explanation, but wanted to hear yours. Thank you. I am enjoying this series. Everything everyone says about your excellent progressions and instruction is absolutely true. Thank you.

Hi Katherine,

This sounds like a hip flexor that is over active, which is common. Our hip flexor often grips when other muscles are not doing there job, core, glutes and quadricep should be doing the majority of the work in the leg balance. Try bringing awareness to turning them on a bit more!

I am having trouble with the floor floating pose- it feels like my arms aren't long enough... Any tips?

Hi Lindsey,

I have short arm and find this hard too. Blocks can help under the hands, then more core strength will develop to tuck the pelvis up closer to the ribs.

Funny, I have trouble with that too and find it hard on my knees as well but had heard Fiji mention she has short arms - but mine are long so I thought that was why I have trouble with it.

Thank you Fiji for this wonderful challenge. I feel better every day, millimetre by millimetre!
