She carefully moves into gradually deeper stretches for the hips, legs and lower back, ensuring that everything she does with you is moving toward an outcome that includes pain relief, flexibility and strength.

Thank you for this class! I keep returning to it. Just one question: when you sit on your heels, like in the photo of this class, with your hand up and stretching in the opposite direction, and you say "make sure that you sit completely", I cannot do it, My body is not allowing me to sit on the mat from virasana pose. Should I use a block to sit or should I go as far as I can?

A block might be a bit tippy when you are going side to side, try a rolled up blanket between your heels and sit bones. I hope this helps!

Thanks so much, Fiji. After following two of your other classes, I found this a great addition for my lower back. I find your suggestions and reminders so very helpful.
