14-Day Yoga Challenge: Day Seven

Thank you Fiji. Great program and instructions that support integration of mind, body and spirit. Yoga is the best way I know to care for the body as the manifestation of spirit and the vehicle for being alive in this world.

Thank you, Fiji, for this gorgeous class. I just got into mermaid pose for the first time ever!

I love love love this class! One of my Fiji favorites!

I have found so much peace and strength in this class. It is a beautiful morning or evening flow with a good balance of strength and stretching. Thank you, Fiji (:

The class was so great. Fiji knows how to make her flows very dynamic and never boring. Sorry to ask, but was that a fart at the end? :D

This challenge makes me so happy with my body and myself. Thank you, Fiji.

A great first week, thanks Fiji. I'm looking forward to the next 7 days of this series.

I really liked this one. Fun transitions, good stretches and releases, lots of nice sensations. It is somewhat challenging but has more of a slower flow than some of these classes which I appreciated. Felt like I was in a trance doing it!

Nice class Fiji, I have been enjoying the 14 day challenge it's a nice refresher of getting recommitted to my practice again. Something I noticed when I am in a standing pose one legged and when we transition into warrior 3 my shin muscle starting screaming. Is there anything you can recommend to help alleviate this?
Thanks!

This is such a great experience. I did the other challenges, but didn't practice every consecutive day. Now I am and I can feel the rapid change in my body and throughout my day and in all other activities I do - dance, meditation and life...

I can feel my body getting stronger practicing with Fiji everyday!! I was able to flow along, my body generated heat, and it was challenging. Pushing to the edge, as Fiji says!! Great words of encouragement throughout the class. Thanks Fiji for another great morning of yoga! Namaste <3. :-)

I am not doing the 14 day challenge but I am exploring the classes offered. This one is grounding and strong - Nicely paced and a good length for a quick, centering practice. I appreciated the modifications during pigeon!

Good flow overall, just a bit slower-paced than I thought it was going to be.

I'm so enjoying this challenge, my upper arm strength/ endurance and flexibility are Improving with each class. You are a fantastic instructor, thank you.

I love the way that you take a pose that we all know and adds a new twist. Your classes are always new, interesting, and challenging.
Thank You Fiji For another great session

After being sick for 2 weeks with West Nile Virus, wasn't sure how to regain strength and get over being dizzy all the time. These shorter, gentler practices are exactly what I needed to stretch out my stiff sore body and regain balance and strength.

So exciting to see that I can do active pigeon poses now, even reaching my hand to foot! So thrilled!

Great practice Fiji! I felt strong and firmly planted during this practice. My balance is improving. Thank you! See you tomorrow for Day Eight!

Hey, I'm an intermediate now :) Couldn't believe it when I reached my hand back in pigeon, and my foot was right there! AND I came to the top of my head for an almost-wheel!!! Never thought that would happen again in this lifetime. I'm feeling great!

There are still some things I can't do - like certain boat variations and wheel - but I was able to do the back-heel grab in pigeon pose for the first time today (and feel safe doing so)! On both sides, no less.

This practice left me feeling stretched and strong.

Another brilliant class thank you. I love the structure and the reminder that 7 days have already been achieved! :) I'm also loving the opportunity to keep checking in and seeing progress being made. Great pace and great class!

Hello Fiji, This was a really great class. I found myself fully engaged throughout the entire class...The perfect pacing made it feel very lovely, and graceful. Thank you so much, ...Lolly Miller

Thanks for creating this 14 day series. I am feeling tension melt away while strength & flexibility are increasing. The flow of the classes individually & as a series are so nicely balanced.

I was afraid today's class would be a little tough after having lifted weights in the morning, but I was pleasantly surprised at how open I felt during the practice. There were lots of wonderful twists that really loosened up my spine. The mermaid pose is still challenging for me, as I find it hard to keep my hips square--my weight wants to drop to the side of my front hip. I will keep coming back to it! Thanks for a great week of yoga, Fiji. I'm looking forward to the second week!

Thanks for another great class, Fiji :)

Open heart, open mind. I can hardly believe the challenge is half over already!

First time I finally managed to do Mermaid Pose (at least on one side :) ) Great class! Thank you Fiji :)

As we continue to push and grow during this 14-day challenge, I find myself appreciating Fiji's clear and gentle instruction and guidance all the more. Some of these postures were new to me or were more intense variations of what I've done. So, having clear direction made me feel safe and therefor able to trust my body. It's taken me years to learn to listen to my body and move slowly and patiently into new experiences. Fiji's calm voice fits right in. Can't believe it's already been 14 days! I'm truly grateful for the experience. Many thanks!
