Rise Again
Explore how to rise with courage and strength in this invigorating practice with Fiji that includes lots of standing and arm balances.
This class is Day 5 of Fiji's Calm in the Chaos program. Each class is very similar in style and movement, the intention and focus is what sets them apart as a progression.

Great class!! So many great poses in a short period of time. Yet it did not fell rushed. It gave me a new courage with all of the balancing poses. Thank you Fiji!!
Amazing. Thank you.
I thought that I would enjoy this programme but I haven’t. I understand that the programme is marketed as intermediate but I found that there are too may poses throughout all of the classes that I can not do, such as crow and crane, I have been practicing yoga for a long time, would consider myself a solid intermediate student and still can’t manage those poses despite trying many times and in this programme there were no alternative poses offered or even different levels of the pose offered. Even with tree pose Fiji directed us to put our foot on our thigh but did not say if you can’t manage that to use your shin or ankle. I find that what happens in tree pose if students are not directed otherwise they place their foot on their knee and this is bad for the knee joint. I would also say that headstands are too dangerous to attempt unsupervised. I think this programme needs to come with a caveat for the type and level of poses within it.
Hello Fiji, I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I've started yoga 10 years ago in a wonderful shala in Beijing, but eventually I had to come back home in Paris (with a baby) and while I was looking into places I could practice with a teacher, I started practicing at home with your "Fondations in flow" video, and it is still the base of my practice.
Very soon, I stopped looking elsewhere and I kept coming back to your lessons. You have been my teacher for 9 years now: helping me getting back on my mat after my first pregnancy; adding the prenatal/postnatal classes exactly in time for my second in 2014; the "Chakra flow" was my go-to classes when my father got sick and passed away; I had the "Vinyasa for Vitality" or "Morning wake-up and flow"when I was in a hurry...
But, if I kept coming back to DYWM and your classes, it's because I could feel the kindness and caring and sincerity in each of the classes and that was WHAT I was looking for in yoga. Strength to look for it in my heart and courage to see it in others.
This "Calm in the Chaos" program comes (again) right in time... I'm sure I'm not the only one to feel that way. But it's not only because of what happens in the world right now but also in my life. Transformation. Destruction and Beauty. Fear and Hope.
So after ten years of silently enjoying your guidance, I just wanted to say THANK YOU.
