I revisit this fairly often. I really like the shoulder openers and that there is a bit of strength work for the whole body in the class. I love the transition of doing a complex pose and then the appreciation of a simple pose like plank afterwards. Fiji is so good with smooth transitions in general. One question I have for Fiji is regarding putting the elbow behind the neck repeatedly throughout the class. Is there a purpose to this? I think at one point you say it will all make sense in a few moments and then it never did for me.

Definitely my favourite practice so far (this time around doing the challenge, have completed several times before). I love Fiji's calm gentle manner. Softly guiding me into poses that I would often struggle with (maybe mostly in my head!) and stretching my body until I feel utterly fabulous. Thank you Fiji ily xx

Mostly gentle stretching with at least one pose way beyond my current level. I was still able to hang in there and benefit, though. Fiji has a magic way of moving into challenging peak poses almost without me noticing; fortunately she also makes space for not being able to.

This has been my favorite class of the challenge so far. It did start with some immediate deep shoulder binds so I probably should have warmed up with a few sun salutations but otherwise, a phenomenal class. It was the perfect amount of challenge without losing my ambition to try new poses (frustration can be a strong voice to quit!). I appreciate Fiji's cues + love that she refers to both legs as capable during standing balancing poses. Thanks!
