the class had movement and fluidity. i loved the way fiji talked through the purposes of the stretches in relation to the backbend (without being entirely literal). the practice, although focused on bending did allow a solid practice of other areas of the body.

in one of the sequences i did feel rather rushed, but i went my pace and caught up at the next downward dog pause.

the end relaxation had a very meaningful message as well.

can't wait to do this one again!

That was the most moving and beautiful class I have found on this website so far. Fiji's direction was calm and smooth even during very active and intense moments of the practice. The music was beautiful and fit so wonderfully with the pace of the class, and your motivational words at the end of the practice were incredibly moving. I thank you for your beautiful work.

Thank you Fiji! I loved this class and the length and quality were perfect for me as I did not have as much time this morning to practice more extensively! My BFF and I love your classes!!!xoxoxooooooo
