Forearm Balance: Strong Core and Solid Base
Intermediate II
In Fiji's 2nd class in her 4-part series on preparing the body for forearm balance (pincha mayurasana). Progressing from what you learned in Forearm Balance: Shoulder Stability and Mobility, she helps you work with the demand that forearm balance has on your core strength and how the strength creates the solid base that you need to do this challenging safely. It's a tough pose to master so take your time learning the technique and testing your body's limits. This class will prepare you for the next step in Forearm Balance: Workshop and Forearm Balance: Partner Play.

I really love how you hold the block between your legs to engage the muscles, it has been a tremendously helpful exercise for me. My blocks are much thicker than yours, though, which is problematic. How thick are the blocks you are using? Another instructor I follow also uses blocks that size, and I would really like to get some. Thank you!
They are typically 4" thick, but you can get thicker and thinner blocks. I believe the ones Fiji is using are 4" thick. Have you seen our review of eco-friendly yoga blocks?

Quick but nice workout, my core is very warm and toasty now. Thanks Fiji, as always very enjoyable.
You are my favorite teacher. Love the integrity you emphasize throughout the practice. Know how good it feels when the body is aligned and keep wanting to come back to that feeling again.
Great class! I was short on time, didn’t think this class was going to be tough but felt like I worked my core for an hour! Thank you!!!
This is a great class! Enjoyed it.
Loved this core session! I will bookmark it as a favorite. It has an excellent mix of strength and balance that are both so important to the core.
I do this almost every day now... I loooooooove this!
Phew, apparently I need to do this much more often... Thank you!!
So happy to see everyone is enjoying this so much, well enjoying might not be exactly the right word.
Thank you, Fiji, for this intense reminder of our core strength!!
Thanks, I've been hoping for a great new core class.
Whoooosh! This is SO good! Trust Fiji to come up with such a short but brutal core class! Thank you! xx
Yes!! A short but sweet core class from Fiji, I am so pleased to have this in my life. Pretty sure I'll be returning to this a lot!
Just what I've been looking for:) Thanks,Fiji❤️
This is just what I needed - motivated to make it part of my daily routine. Thanks Fiji!
After 3 kids my core seems to have gone a wall. This is a doable class that I actually like . With the sunshine on Figi's face and the encouraging words ," don't worry we are almost done" this is a good way to start my day!! Thanks for your kindess and fabulous classes!!!
Peace, TW
Another great class from Fiji. My core felt this one. I will be returning to it again and again.
