Note: Fiji says you need two blocks for this class, but you can also use two books of the same thickness. In part one of Fiji's 3-part series leading you to firefly pose (tittibhasana), she works on strengthening the arms. She emphasizes the muscles that are needed in this challenging arm balance to prepare you for the final peak pose, that you will be doing in part three. Fiji's focus, intelligent progression and clarity make this class wonderfully fulfilling and energizing. This class will get you where you need to be for the next ones in the series: Firefly Pose: Strengthen and Lengthen and Firefly Pose: Workshop.

Nice challenge and a unique way to build functional strength in the upper body. I enjoyed using blocks in a new way. Thank you so much!

This was such an excellent challenge, and fun way to kick off this series, thank you so much Fiji! As with all the videos, I feel truly supported throughout the practice and highly motivated to work through any resistance there, by way of proper instruction through descriptions of physical sensations and anatomical positioning. I cannot thank DYWM enough over the years! It's helped me overcome and live better with autoimmune disease, as well as life transitions currently experiencing. <3

I wanted to quit so bad... but I didn't. I couldn't not be there for you Fiji ;) Thanks for always gently kicking my ass.

Thank you, Fiji, for the focus on chaturanga. I found in this class that mindfully doing chaturanga helped me pay attention to what was happening at the base of my neck - in short, it feels like the back of my neck does not crunch up because I am mindfully keeping my chin in a better place.

Also, thank you for the wrist stretches. If I've ever had a criticism of your intermediate/advanced classes in the past, it is that I do not feel I have a chance to breathe between movements. This chance gave moments of purposeful rest. Thank you.
