Fiji, I've done so many yoga classes from so many people and you are still my absolute favorite yoga instructor - the clarity with which you explain each movement and pose and the creativity of each of your classes is unsurpassed in my humble opinion :) I learn so much from you and my practice is constantly strengthened. Thank you!

Good class! A little unbalanced with the arm circles since it was only done on one side but a good class for establishing shoulder strength which I clearly lack. Looking forward to doing the other classes in this series.

This was a great series. The foundational work is challenging and really ties into the goal of accomplishing the forearm balance. I am a lot weaker on one side so the work to build up to forearm balance is necessary fro me and i am thankful to have these suggestions. Another series that I do to mobilize my shoulders and work on stability of the scapula is a wall pose with shoulder 90 abduction, hand on wall, and movements in/out of shoulder ER/IR to set the scapula (not sure if there is a yoga name for it). Also I use Lion pose to work on scapular patterns and stability.
