This practice invites us to bring a devotional quality to the energy and intentions within the class. When we consciously put purpose into each movement and gesture, we open ourselves to being fully present and involved in the practice as it unfolds. It also allows us to embrace the benefits of our practice on multiple levels. This intermediate flow incorporates the use of mudras to allow for that heightened state of presence and purpose.

The background sound of ocean ripples helps to bring attention to mind and soul. Your classes always bring tranquility to my mind afterwards. Thank you.

Wonderful intentionality and consistent awareness throughout.
Loved this mudra / devotional practice - helped me balance out these two aspects - and 'even' sided of my body.
Thank you Fiji! Amazing how much creativity you bring to the classes!

Could not get past opening breathing with focus on "soft" feminine side and "strong" masculinity. I realize this may be set in centuries old practice but today those gender stereotypes are hurtful and outdated.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this, you are right concepts of masculine and feminine are deep rooted and looking at and challenging them is very important in this day and age. I will consider wording my intention more clearly around this, a great challenge for me as a teacher which I welcome. The intention here is the understand that within each of us exists the two dynamic and complimentary energies of Shiva and Shakti. There is a need to be strong and take action sometimes ,and the necessity to be soft and nurturing at other times. You are correct that a gender is not needed to describe those qualities and I will be mindful of that in the future.

I agree with the comment above the gendered language is not necessary and it makes for less inclusivity. As a trans person this language was very distracting and not very beneficial to my own practice. I appreciate your willingness to learn and be open.
