Dancer's Pose: Supple Spine and Shoulders
This is the second in a series of four videos where Fiji guides through the complex needs of the wonderful balancing pose, dancer's pose (natarajasana). Following on from Dancer's Pose: Balances and Binds, this class gets deep into shoulder flexibility and mobility, as well as releasing the muscles around the upper and mid back that can restrict the movement of the shoulders and upper spine. This gradual progression toward full dancers pose also includes backbends, releases for the hip flexors and core work. It will prepare you for the next steps in Dancer's Pose: Workshop and Dancer's Pose: Playful Dancer's Flow.

My left shoulder had been so tight for years. This class and in particular the pose where you lie on the floor with your shoulder facing away managed to loosen that shoulder incredibly to the point where I could actually touch my lower right hand to my left hand above when clasping from behind (sorry don’t know the name of pose). Thank you!!!!
This class helped me get through pulling a muscle at work! At first I could barely even sit on my mat, and once I could finally do the whole class I felt so much better. It just unlocks so much in your back. Fiji is so great!! She knows exactly how the muscles work together and her voice is so calming.
I really enjoyed this class and it makes me feel more confident about achieving this challenging pose. It was great for stretching quadriceps and shoulders. Great sensations that hopefully will enable me to succeed. Will keep you posted! :-)
Wow great class I now found my other favorite teacher! A true fan of your teaching style.
