What a creative and sweet flow to open hips. I am recovering from hip replacement surgery and found this class safe and strong for my healing journey! THANK YOU!

Thank you. Working my way back from throwing my back out several times in the last month, ironically because my yoga has been inconsistent. Thank you for a good sweat and a calming atmosphere. The best way to practice! Figi, your subtle cues make all the difference in the world. A little shift can realign an entire pose!! I hope to meet you one day, possibly at one of your retreats!

I just love all of DYWM’s classes and this is no exception. However, students should know the stretching is vigorous.

A couple days after experiencing some atypical shoulder pain while swimming, I took this class.

I’ve always had tight shoulders and back even when I’ve been quite flexible in other places, and I really tried not to let myself feel pain during the class. For the first couple hours after, I felt much looser but after that my shoulder became quite painful. I really worried that I had permanently damaged it though it feels somewhat better 24 hours later.

I do think anyone else with possible shoulder impingement should be made aware that this could make symptoms worse if you are already at all sore. I would not recommend this class as a recovery stretch.

Good to get out of my pattern of strictly flow classes. This was a do-able challenge for for me with some new poses. My middle-aged wrists were protesting a little at one point, and my hops were clunky and tentative, but I appreciated Christa's encouragement and options for modifying the poses. Deep stretches for hips, shoulders, and hamstrings. Thank you!

I'm so grateful for this class. I've been slacking the last couple of weeks. This was exactly what I needed to get excited about my yoga routine again. I feel amazing after it. Gentle but still some challenges worked in. My body feels open and ready for the day. Thank you!

Finishing up a period of extreme stress and being overly busy, it’s hard to figure out how to calm down and sleep. I’ve got this class bookmarked and will return again and again! Namaste.

Such a great class! I've been practicing consistently with power yoga for years now, and am grateful for a class that can transition me into more yin flows. If you have any desires to make more advanced videos in this style, they would be deeply appreciated!

Thank you for all you do, you're a lovely teacher.

I found this routine challenging but I felt more confident that I can eventually get into some of the more arm centric poses. I've always struggled with those more than other poses! Fiji does such an amazing job of describing the poses and guiding the students through them. I decided to do this challenge simply because it meant 14-days of not needing to decide on my routine each morning, but I'm so glad I did. The challenge is pushing me to recognize my limits and where I can push against them safely.

I have been suffering from that pinching sensation you mentioned during class in my right sacroiliac joint for 2 and a half years. After this challenging class, my hips felt so amazing. Deep gratitude.

Thanks for this class, Ron. I'm slowly coming back to yoga after my first ever (and hopefully not first of many!) slipped disc last month. I've been doing yoga with Fiji for several years now and have had to practice a bit of humilty and compassion with the impatient parts of me striving to get back into that more vigourous flow. The concept and meditative words alongside this self compassion practice has been just what I need. Love the pleasure principle, and I'll be doing more of Ron's classes from now on!

I wanted to buy the audio of the full primary series for when I'm off line, but it seems only the half series is available. Am I missing something? It's a fantastic practice!
