Great energizing class for early in the day. Challenging and invigorating. I also really like Fiji's voice and her ability to give instructions clearly and succinctly.

Didn't want to do a long class as I kept putting off a yoga session today until kind of late. This had just a tad of a challenge, which I was looking for, at a perfect pace, I thought. I liked the music (which is absent from a couple of other classes with Fiji I've done) and Fiji's voice over offering context and meaning of back bending in one's everyday life. Everyone likes different things--can't please everyone all of the time. This is my favorite class so far, kind of artful in the intro and throughout somehow--love the tone/mood.

I felt SO good by the final backbend (wheel) and more open and flexible in that position than I have been in a while. I only wished I could stay in the pose longer!

Fiji is impressive as she goes through the poses. But I find her flows (this and others) too fast with some extra chatting that gets me lost between poses. In general, I find classes where the host speaks along while doing the poses (as opposed to off voice added to the video) easier to follow.
