Fiji brings together the power of a vinyasa yoga flow and the deep, restful nature of restorative yoga in this wonderfully vibrant class. She begins slowly, building into a creative sequence filled with openers for the legs, hips, shoulders and back, then slows down again to take advantage of the body's heat by spending more time on deeper stretches, before sinking into sivasana.

Is that live percussion in the background?
Nice slow flow.
With the new saving functionality I have been going through the back catalogue to see which practices to save in my collections, and I have found some real gems that I had previously overlooked. This is one of them, what a great practice, slow rhythm and really satisfying flow, I feel really invigorated.
I also really like the soft music in the background, you can barely hear it so it doesn't interfere but it really adds to the calming atmosphere of the class - I found only the older classes have it.
Yay! That's awesome to hear you're taking advantage of the new collections system.
Yes although it would be great if it wasn't so hidden away. Should really be a Menu option and not buried under a myriad of clicks !
That was wonderful. Thanks
Hello! I am looking forward to trying this class - I love Fiji's classes! I see from the comments it is part of a 30-day challenge. Which one?
Hmmm... I'm actually not sure, Sharon! I don't remember every challenge by heart - I wish I did. :-)
It's the Transform Your Life 30 day challenge, and it's great :)
Although it has taken me a lot longer than 30 days to complete this challenge, I have finally reached the end and feel that I have learned so much from such a lovely group of inspiring teachers. You have really helped me to get through COVID-19 lockdown in London. Thanks so much!
A gentle class. I love Fiji classes. Thank you.
This class was a lovely balance, but I longed for more time in savasana. Maybe next time?
Such a balanced wonderful experience. Learned a lot here.
Thank you, Fiji, for this harmonious class, I feel so alive and serene at the same time
You said it perfectly.
A beautiful blend of slow but challenging stretches and poses. And thanks to the bolster, I was able to hold the back bend which has been been a challenge for me in the past. Thanks!
First of all, I would like to say thank you to Fiji and the team because I again think this video is really amazing! I have a question. Since a couple of weeks my legs and knees really hurt sometimes, yesterday I did this yoga class and through most of the class my legs were really shaking. I never had this before. Today my legs are just really sore. What do you think is happening in my body? Also what yoga classes do you suggest to do now? I did not feel pain during the class - my legs were just really strongly shaking.
Thank you!!!
Hi There,
I am happy you like the practice! I am sorry to hear that you have had some leg and knee pain over the past few weeks, it is important to listen to cues from your body and rest when needed. Knee pain in particular is something to be very mindful of! There are few reasons that your legs may have been shaking during class, unfortunately I won't be able to tell you exactly why. It is most likely that your muscles were fatigued by the work load, this would also explain the legs being sore the following day. Muscle strength comes with time so be patient in challenging poses and give yourself the opportunity to take breaks.
Thank you very much. I will!
I just love this class!
A very beautiful blend of warmth and cool! Fantastic class! thank you, Fiji!
I know that I never regret doing a yoga class with figi and this one was tailored made for me and my sore back today . I know I say this all the time but truly one of my favourite classes I love the smooth clear transitions and how good I now feel . Also love the little chuckle always makes me smile
Peace and love

This is just so yummy, thank you. This is my favorite before bedtime practice. It gets all the "stuff" of the day out and leaves me ready to just melt into my bed. Thank you!!!!
Wonderful!! Thank you for all your amazing classes!!
Fiji McAlpine, thank you very much. Closing the 30 day challenge wonderfully!
I'm yet again so ?amazed? by how Fiji can push me so hard and yet so gently. I love her teaching and this class is a gorgeous one.
Thank you for a wonderful 30 day challenge and this fabulous site. I think I'll just repeat the 30 days (over and over).
A great ending with Fiji with a marvelous expanding, energizing, relaxing practice...thank you all...Tracey, Rachel, Krista, especially you for my enjoy with your guiding, thank you for this opportunity of internal harmony that really, it changes our lives...I will be happy to contribute with this amazing project and to follow my daily practice with you.
THANK YOU ALL THE TEAM OF YOGA WITH ME....with my expanded body, breathing, heart and soul...NAMASTE!
The most peaceful and focused class for me yet. Thank you for this class and the 30 day yoga challenge.
I want to thank all participating teachers from Do Yoga With Me for sharing this wonderful 30 Day Challenge. It was a great, I really enjoyed it very much! Most of the time I practiced first in the morning, but whenever I was feeling a bit cranky, I would do it in the end of the day. I mostly chose the "Beginnners" option because I really wanted to be gentle to myself (I have a tendency to go over my limits and hurt myself) and the wonderful thing is, that I can now continue for an other 30 days of "Intermediate"! With gratitude and love from France, Cateau
This is an amazing class I will bookmark and return to. Thank you.
I think this is my all time fav from this 30 day challenge!! Such a great workout. Fiji you are so amazing doing it while so pregnant!
I was hoping for a purely restorative day 30, but this works just as well. This class is the second class I did on the DYWM YouTube channel when I got serious about my practice a year ago, so it's a nice reminder of how far I've come and how far I have to go. Thanks team!
Perfect end to an amazing 30 day challenge. Fiji is always a delight and a truly inspiring teacher. Can't wait for her retreat to start in less than a week!!!
Fantastic end to 30 wonderful days of yoga. Great start to January, and my marathon training has come on hugely as well during this time - getting faster, and no aches and pains at all even after my long runs. Thank you Fiji and everybody at DYWM. Now I have to to go back to making my own decisions about which class to do - I'm going to feel a bit lost!
I forgot how much I loved this class. . I loved the 30 day yoga challenge as It brought me back to some of my favourite classes ! Figi you are amazing. This is one of the best classes you teach ,for me anyway , I think
David should add an encour class as I don't want the challenge to end , besides January has one more day left !
I will start the 30 day challenge over again . It was a good idea to put 2 levels of class on for each day
Than you love love love
Peace

those 50 minutes flew by!
AMAZING!
Thank you again
Fiji is my favourite instructor here and i was so happy to see a new class by her here! I've been doing this for quite sometime and it never fails to amaze me how challenging yet gentle these poses are sequenced. I love the calm after. Thank you so much Fiji! Congrats on the baby!!
My new favourite. Wonderful class with a great combination of effort and props.
this is great class for my back I love everything about it, it's a work out and restoritve all wrapped into a beautiful practise! love the giggle laughter as well
thank you thank you thank you
peace and love
After 3 weeks in the road this set my clock back to normal! Thank you
When I read the title I thought it sounded boring, but it is quite a workout and it really stretches you out! LOVED IT! Thank you so much Fiji! The only thing I don't like is that the 2nd class is for "members only" ¬¬
A wonderful class pushing just enough to really help focus and get me out of my head.
Thank you,
Wendy
Once again, a lovely class from Fiji. Thank you for letting us experience some of the restorative perspectives of yours!
Love this class! The engaging flow to start the class was the perfect warm up to deep stretches at the end. I felt invigorated and full of bliss.
I thought I'd start my Saturday with something restorative and Fiji you delivered once again, and exceeded my expectations. I'm deep in balance and harmony because of this class.
Lovely class Fiji. Thank you so much!
A wonderful class Fiji! Challenging yet so manageable and gently introduced. Thank you so much. Catherine
Loved this gentle but very grounding flow. Thanks so much!
