This full, 80-minute class is a vigorous flow that transitions from warm up to twists, to foot balances, then a well deserved relaxation. Fiji puts it all together in a beautiful class that is so characteristic of her amazing teaching style.
This was better than any therapy session I have ever done!! hahaha
Be aware, if you are after some yummy flowy class, no, skip this one!
If you are after learning how to focus and going into some sticky as dark caves (hello twists with full awareness of your hips)
and then feel very yummy after it, than yes, come here!
I accidentally chose this class again today (my 2nd time) and when I realised was "this class" I thought for a moment "ooohh here we go again"...
and I absolutely love and agree with the metaphors about cutting the branches of a tree, the strong pillars after the storm...this class is a full spring clean and more! Thank you thank you Fiji, you are amazing!
Well I am currently laying on the floor contemplating my life! 20 minutes in I am reflecting on my 3 years of practicing yoga questioning if I am even at an intermediate level. I love yoga and how it is both my life and a part of it. Fiji you have an incredible way with words and teaching yoga, very reflective. I will attempt to complete the class, smiling and resting where. possible. I have come along way and will not turn my back on my achievements, my goals and aspirations nor myself. Namaste.
I'd forgotten how good this class is! We've had so many storms here and other stuff that needed clearing...so I headed back to renewing power. Such a balanced and deep class, allowing for confrontation of resistance and discovery of strength. Thank you x
Dear Fiji, I love all of your classes but this one in particular since it really makes me sweat in a very transformative way. What other classes would you recommend for someone who wants a vigorous workout (along with all the other challenges and spiritual aspects).
Best wishes from Sweden
I am so happy you like this one, I have a few others that are similar in length and difficulty that you might like. Power and Precision, Beautifully bound, and Moving Meditation 2. Let me know what you think!!!
This may be my peak class. :) I found myself giving a few "HA!" breaths that may have sounded more like "ugh!" As usual, great class, great instruction and I will take this again and again until I can do it as smoothly (almost) as Fiji.
loved this challenging practice that brought awareness to every point in my body. There is no choice but to be here and now during this flow. I finished shavasana with a glorious OM.
perfect class. Fiji has a lovely calming voice and gives great instructions and reminders for form. i find myself so relaxed in the middle of it, quite trance like, ready to do the meditation! thank you, Fiji!
My, that's a killer workout for the legs! Really pushes your endurance and inner strength, in a really good way. I love the words in savasana too - this class helped me immensely a couple of years ago when a 'storm' was raging through my own life, and it's wonderful to come back to the class again now that the 'clean up has happened' as Fiji puts it. Inspiring stuff. Fiji is my yoga hero!
I have not done this class for a few years. I do a fairly vigorous vinyasa flow maybe 5 days a week. So I feel like I'm in pretty good shape. But this class was a challenging sweater the whole way through . If you are looking for a yoga class that is well thought out and incorporates everything but the yoga kitchen sink then this class is for you. Thanks for this great flow Figi.
This class is probably the most challenging I've ever done and also the most rewarding! I have tinnitus and normally I don't notice it. But three times under this class it was activated very intensely. I'm wondering what happened there. Anyways, thank you Fiji, I feel really great now. Almost like a twister!
This class was a great workout! I can't do all of the poses yet, but Fiji's instruction is always easy to follow. I will definitely try this one again. Added bonus -- I was sweating through most of it!
I used to practice yoga regularly, and after a long hiatus, have taken it up again. Finding this site has been great, and I have moved through some of the beginner classes, and at first I was feeling frustrated with my body for not being as flexible as it used to. But I have been building up my strength and patience again, which I think I lost when i stopped practicing. Slowly I have worked to this class, which I found challenging, but as I am still in the first variation of most of the poses, I look forward to seeing how I grow with this practice. Thank you for a lovely and inspiring class :)
Fiji is an amazing teacher. Her classes are strong, gracefully, and creative. I come back to them again and again, and they always leave me with something new and different no matter how many times I've practiced the same class. Thanks for being an amazing teacher, you are one of my favorites!
I love this class because it has an amazing flow that builds up to a level of intensity that just feels right. Fiji's instructions are always clear, motivating, spiritual and with conviction that forces your mind to be present and connected. I love the way she takes you through a journey that always ends with a feeling of peacefulness, clarity and awareness of being rooted or anchored. Thanks Fiji.
Fiji- I love how much detail you provide about each pose, not letting hips drop, find your challenge where it exists, etc. You are so motivating and your class is a wonderful blend of very basic instructions combined with challenging yoga. Just what I was looking for! Thank you!!
Fiji has such a poetic way of providing instruction that gets our body in the pose and deepen our awareness on an emotional and spiritual level. I love the way that she connects the movement to metaphor, like growing a seed or feeling the strength of roots in a tree.
This is a slower paced flow than a typical vinyassa, but that does not mean easier. She takes us deliberately through Sun A and then Sun B, connecting breath with movement to build heat and then into some challenging twists. We always have the option to amp it up and Fiji offers variations quickly without detracting from the flow. I found myself, an experienced practitioner, feeling challenged. We can always go deeper with this kind of practice, or back off depending on what's calling us. To me that makes this a very well rounded class.
As Fiji says, we cannot control the weather but we can become stronger in our base, and then we can be amazed at what remains after the storm. So much gratitude and love for sharing this gift with us, Fiji. Namaste
What a wonderful, empowering and cleansing class. Fiji is such a fantastic teacher and for me her classes offer just the right level to challenge and inspire. Thank you so much Fiji. I look forward to many more of your classes!
I typically really love Fiji's classes, but this was was definitely not my favorite. It was very slow with a lot of descriptions for simple poses. I found it a bit boring, unfortunately. Still very difficult and a great workout, but not very fun and exciting.
One of my favorite classes for intermediate level. Such great flow. Nice challenges for body and mind as I rehab from knee surgery in October. Yoga helps me find areas of imbalance in my mobility and strength so that I can assess my rehab progress at a foundational level. namaste
Fiji offers another wonderful practice with clear instruction which is always helpful to maintain proper posture as well as maintaining mental focus. Challenging, energizing, and peaceful.
Great class, fairly slow-paced but challenging. Fiji's instructions are always very accurate and informative, keeping you completely focused. One of the few times I've actually managed to get my brain to shut up! I felt brand new afterwards.
It's the longest Fiji class available here but it will make you feel like a million bucks if you can find the time for it. As Fiji herself mentioned in the video, I consider this session as a 'clean-up and trimming' of our mind and soul. As always thank you and namaste!
This class actually got me sweating and felt like a nice workout on a day when I couldn't make it to the gym or the trails. Fiji's explanations are very good. I could have fallen asleep during shivasana. Lovely class.
Very nice build up, good clear instructions and just the right amount challenge for me :) I finished with a great feeling and can't wait to practice it again tomorrow!
I enjoyed the class a lot, challenging as all of Fijis classs. But still I had to pause or replay the video several times, because it was too fast for me to understand what is meant or the movement was so fast.
Very lovely flow. She has great energy. She is great at talking in a way that reminds you to use proper alignment. I appreciate the production value as well. Clear audio, clear video.
I aspire to be nothing less than an awe inspiring teacher as you. You are so gifted and articulate... You speak so calmly with the best instruction! I hardly looked at my screen... I love you!!!!!! :)

Would love to see more advanced long classes from you.

I think the tag of "Intermediate II" only refers to the levels of asanas, but not the intensity of the class... It's very much 'Fiji' ;)
I love Fiji but she was so chatty during this one it was a bit distracting for me
This one had me sweating! I can always count on Fiji for a challenge. Thanks fam

A longer class with longer holds and a wide variety of challenging poses.
A great class to grow your stamina, strength and flexibility.
Namaste from Salem,

I prefer original classes . More playfull with creative transitions and unconventional positions
I come back to this class time and again, each time I learn something new and always end feeling energized and relaxed. Fiji's instruction is spot on!
What a great, challenging class!!! Fiji is definitely one of my favorite instructors on here.
Great flow and perfect pace. A little bit of everything. A favorite!
This may be my peak class. :) I found myself giving a few "HA!" breaths that may have sounded more like "ugh!" As usual, great class, great instruction and I will take this again and again until I can do it as smoothly (almost) as Fiji.
I am not quite there yet, but I tried and gave my best and it felt good to do so.
Love this class feeling a bit more flexible and stronger every time!
wonderfully challenging

Most amazing corpse pose ever after this practice. I felt like I could have stayed there for hours. Worth every minute.

Just what I needed. A flow that is calming and challenging, I feel so light now.
Thank you Fiji for this strengthening flow sequence. I will definitely return to it in the future.
