Had to stop to appreciate Fiji's crow pose on top of those rocks! Truly hardcore. Thanks for a great class!
Very good class but difficult for me so I did it in 3 separate episodes with a rest inbetween. I look forward to getting better and stronger as I continue to use this class. Thank you Fiji.
I thought this class was great and I love Fiji's specific, clear instructions. She points out things that others rarely do and it's so helpful. This class was hard for me but so worth it.
This was a beautiful class, Fiji. Thank you. It was my first class with DYWM, and it's just what I needed. I appreciate the slow intensity, and the clearity of instruction.
I have some concern about down down, warrior two, and triangle pose. For down dog I have uncomfortable tension in my shoulders and often have to come out of the pose if I'm in it for too long. I do all of the things that instructors tell me to do: press into my hands, arms shoulder width, press into my heels, keep my hips up, keep my low abs in, wrap my shoulders into my armptis, keep inner elbows facing forward, drop shoulders away from ears, and with all of that alignment I still experience incredible tension in my shoulders. I don't know if it's because my hands slip on my map sometimes so I overcompensate. But this happens even when my hands are not slipping.
Regarding downward dog and triangle pose: I feel a pinch in my hip joint whenever I'm in those poses, regardless of my alignment. I do all the things, yet I can't bend into my front knee for warrior two without hip pinching, and I can't exetend down into triangle with that forward hip hurting.
Any suggestions?
