Backbending From The Base: Intermediate Class
This class is a shortened, intermediate version of Fiji's advanced class, Backbending From The Base. Fiji moves you gradually into deeper back bends, opening up the spine with care and attention to alignment.

Intuitively picked this class with Fiji today...
And even though the intro - amazingly beautiful and powerful! - was a bit intimidating ("is she taking us there???" "I can't possibly do this." "shall I even take this class?") - I felt it could be the perfect practice of working with Moon / Saturn (fear / protection / limiting beliefs and old stories) - a signature of the Full Moon tomorrow that invites us, like Fiji to start the journey - from the HEART - and go one step at a time, well rooted in the core of our being, and be gentle (Moon) and go as far as is appropriate for our body (Saturn). But all the openings and strengthening, and Fiji's firm and clear guidance and modelling (Saturn) took me so much further than I 'thought' (Gemini - Sag). Goes to show: Don't believe everything you think (a Gemini - Sag mantra :-) )!
And yes, Sagittarius pulls the arrow back to the HEART before aiming high!
This class had it ALL.
Woohoo - Big Gratitude for synchronistic Yoga Gifts! <3
This is so amazing. Don't be intimidated by the first few minutes of Fiji's demo. She slowly gets you there while also taking you through a beautiful journey.
I was very nervous to start after watching the intro. Fiji's backbends in the intro were beautiful. The class was challenging but do-able. I was slightly sweating through the vinyasa right before the wheel. I think that warmth helped ease into the wheel. Beautiful class and excellent pace. Thank you Fiji.
WOW! Amazing flow, beautiful bends. THANK YOU!
