Wonderful class

First class I've done of Fiji's and I have to say her way of instructing is certainly my favorite so far. The extra use of the hands to smooth areas of the body to move them into the stretch helps a lot to create a more balanced pose.

A perfect length of class pre-run, especially for those morning runs!

I noticed you posted this yoga class for runners yesterday and did it this morning. Was a sweet flow. Such smooth guidance and I can see how it will help me prevent injuries from running so much.
