I wish there was less explanation of every pose. I found it distracting. With a bit less explanation, there would be time for more variety of poses.
Thank you for this slow, thoughtful and purposeful class. It took me a minute to be here for this class, but I am glad I stuck with it.
I appreciate all of the detailed alignment instruction! This is definitely an intentional class with a focus on form. For those saying it wasn't "relaxing" or there was too much talking...I've actually never been to a Vinyasa/Power Yoga class that felt particularly relaxing until the end, so it could benefit you to use the filters for a different style of yoga. My one suggestion might be to say the name of the poses a bit earlier so that students don't have to look at the video at all to see where we are going. But maybe that would interfere with the way you are trying to set up the pose for the best alignment? This was quite a bit slower than the vinyasa classes that I am used to, and the holds were a real challenge! It's always good for putting my ego in check to do something different. ;)
Love the long holds. Slow-paced, challenging practice. Thank you!
Excellent! I will return to this to build muscle memory and get the most out of my practice. I really appreciated your clear, detailed instruction!
Gentle strengthening. Perfect, detailed, informative and constructive instructions!
Fiji, you are an incredible teacher.
NAMASTE
Thank you, so helpful in these times and anytime...

Fiji, I find your instruction so helpful. It really helps me to feel perfectly aligned and engaged. I love all of your classes, holding positions in place can be so challenging but also empowering. Thank you for really helping me to hone my practice.
Fiji I love your moves but you talk TOO much!! It is so distracting and I can't get through any of your classes.
This made me chuckle, Lara, because, apparently, Fiji talks too much for YOU, and it is certainly OK to speak your preference, your truth. Does she speak too much in some absolute sense? Who knows?! The amount of guidance Fiji gives in this session was helpful to me and, in fact, I return to it as a way of ensuring I remember key aspects of alignment, movement, energy. I imagine you, Lara, are further along in your practice than am I, and you might prefer the direction with less instruction/guidance? In any case, it's wonderful to share practice with you! :)
I didn't know I needed this class until I found it. Aaahhhh..... so nice. Beautifully choreographed. I feel so peaceful after this class.
This class is primarily an alignment instruction to keep your spine aligned properly in a several different postures. If you are looking for a quiet meditation, save this one for later, as it is about 90% dialogue. A good refresher I could see going to 1-2 times a year.
There were the 2 most "difficult" postures popped in the middle of the class - their timing felt a bit unexpected to me. We went from chair to bum on heels, and then to an arm balance.
It was obvious I hadn't done longer lunges and holds for a while, much needed!
Thanks for the lovely yoga. But is it possible to talk less during the yoga. It's so hard to concentrate and not really calming when doing yoga wit a lot of talking. I'm sorry, i hope you do not take this personal. Thanks, Namaste :)
This is an old message, but I just saw it.'
Samera, just a recommendation.
I personally love Fidgi's instructions because they are so thorough. I feel that without proper coaching, I would be doing a lot of wrong things. For me listening to her is like having a personal coach. Have you tried to do the session just by listening without looking at the video?
Me too I love the instructions, they’re always relevant and on point and help keep me in the moment as well as make sure im doing it right. A lot of other instructors just babble which is v different
I love this class. It is so grounding in so many ways. Bringing full attention to each and every pose.. would love more alignment classes like this one. Thank you :)
Other classes are much more dynamic
Thank you, Fiji, for another amazing class. You are such an inspiration! Your clear instruction and the flow of your classes have me wanting more yoga all the time. You’re my idol!! Such a fan of the way you spread the light. Namaste.
This practice was a workout for my mind. An excellent way to get out of ones head and into the moment. I feel oddly exhausted yet fully restored. Thank you Fiji for bringing such attention to the energy loops of my body which go so often neglected. Love this one!!!!
I agree with this analysis completely.
Excellent alignment class with Fiji. Well paced and clearly instructed. I needed that, and indeed, like having a personal Yoga coach.
Thankyou DYWM for bringing it into the Challenge.
Wow another excellent Fiji class. The detailed instructions addressing our specific parts and where they should be and how they should feel is very helpful. I feel like I just got a private instructor who was looking at me and helping me correct every pose. BRAVO! Fiji is instructing while going thru the poses, and experiencing as she addresses each pose. THANK YOU.
This video is no joke. If you are doing the moves from the right place, it is quite a challenging flow. If you pat attention to Fiji's instruction, there are many opportunities to make corrections to your alignment. Form and strength. This class is my favorite on the website.
first class with Do Yoga With Me... Eloquent, well paced, very happy!
This class flows so well and the detailed instructions make an enormous difference. One of my favourites. Thanks Fiji !!!
Thank you so much Fiji. You always challenge me and are so thorough in your instructions, it's truly a revelation. Every class gives me a clarity and strength that I am so grateful for. <3
Wishing the first few minutes, the music got very loud and overpowered her voice. It only lasted for a short time but it was very distracting.
Wonderful ! Thank you Fiji, excellent instructions
Wow this is challenging and fabulous I love the details and description of every move I love that you always remind me of my breathing because when I feel like quitting it is a good a distraction and I just keep on going
I love that you held the possess longer and now I am ready to start my work day with a clear mind
Peace and love to you figi and all of the fabulous instructors I get to hang out with everyday !
Perfect pace! Love it :o)
Slow but oh-so-very strong class! It made me realise where I 'cheat' in yoga - some very valuable lessons here! Thank you for always teaching me something new. Wonderful <3
This is a very slow and meditative class but at the same time, oh so challenging! I feel great right now, thank you! Your classes are amazing!
Great class to do when you want to learn or re-learn the basic asanas. For the first time I really understood what it means to "pull in your rib cage" ;-) Very clear instructions! Thank you
One of the best ways to advance in your practice is actually to go back to the foundations of your poses to learn again with a new strong sense of mind and body. Instruction given to us as beginners is often too advanced and goes right over our heads, hearing it again when we have a greater yoga vocabulary and subtle body ability can make a huge difference.

I'll echo everyone's praise. This was quite challenging for me; yet I feel that by continuing with this, I could really make some progress. Particularly liked the frequent reminders to focus on the tailbone and lower ribs-- so needed and so helpful! Thanks so much,
Thank you for this wonderful practise! Gradually building strength in a calm way. Very mindful instructions.
The video is interrupted from second to second. I dont know why is happened . WHAT I MUST DO ?
The quickest fix to a freezing video is to change browsers and pause the video at the beginning to allow it to load. Let us know if you have any further problems by sending us a message through our Contact Us form.

Possibly my favorite class yet. Thank you, Fiji, for taking me back to the drawing board and leading me through the basics. Can never get enough of this kind of practice. Love the pacing. No one is better at coaching. Brilliant.
Thank you, Fiji: this class was an excellent way to start my day. It's thoughtful, beautifully paced, and strengthening for body and spirit.
Thoughtful, deliberate and challenging practice with clear specific instructions. Alignment is so important and small subtile changes can make such a difference. Thank you again!
Thank you Fiji for a wonderful practice today. Your devotion and passion to yoga shines so brightly. Slowing down each movement really helps in understanding the pose. It was a very challenging practice. It set a great tone for the rest of my day. Thank you again.
This is an outstanding class. Thank you for your knowledgable teaching , bringing alignment and stability to our practice. You are an amazing and talented teacher. Thank you!
