Intermediate III
What are we made of? In this Intermediate practice, Fiji reminds us that we are mostly comprised of space. That sentiment of spaciousness is then infused into how we are able to move within and between poses. This practice helps us tap into an inner sense of lightness, expansion, and energy.

Short class that opens things up. It is challenging but Iike it
I have neck and shoulder issues from using a computer every day, this practice provides a lot of relief and spaciousness, perfect for starting my day and setting body awareness. Just skip the side crow peak pose if your body is already aggravated. Those side twist stretches right beforehand feel GREAT and are worth holding! Thank you Fiji for another invigorating, well rounded, and supportive practice.
This was an amazing class, kept a smile on my face all day with a youthful feeling in side from all the fun poses. Thank you so much
Thank you Fiji, once again.
ALWAYS enjoy your classes.
You ROCK!!
Namaste,
I appreciated this new knowledge and new ways of thinking about our bodies. The peak pose was not achievable for me but no matter - I took this time to practice crow pose and it's getting there - I love the feeling of the lift and I think of the trust I put in my arms and shoulders while in crow and just let the lift of hips happen.
Thank you,
Great class Fiji. I find myself on holiday with family in France again and not able to attend my regular class. it occurs to me today it is a theme for me to use this site when I am on holiday to top up on my practice! I first did this in France when I had not long had my daughter with one of your classes.
Your starlight has filled my day and I shall watch the stars later with the telescope in this beautiful part of the world with this practice resonating in my body.
I could not manage the arm lift but yet again attempted crow that I have been practising in class.
Difficult class for me -- the peak pose is a long way off in my practice. Yet at the end I felt quite calm, no sense that I had struggled. Fiji has a great way of connecting us to where we are and letting that be OK.
Thank you Fiji for this eloquent space travel. I particularly enjoyed the words. I rated this practice a 3 just because I felt the poses were too advanced compated to other INTERMEDIATE classes.
It is fitting that I never noticed this video until today - my 100th consecutive day of yoga (but who's counting!?). This practice was magical and really hit the spot tonight. Thanks to everyone at DYWM for making a daily yoga practice both realistic and affordable.
Thank you Fiji for amazing classes. I really enjoy every time. I feel very calmed and peaceful after practicing with you.
Thanks Fiji for such great class. I need it to make space in me, after a strong emotional liberation in my life.
If we compressed all humans that had ever lived (about 100 billion) then they would all fit inside a sugar cube. Not just one person! If the earth were compressed in this way, it would be the size of a football stadium.
Thanks for the class, it was invigorating and challenging.
Hello, this class is amazing! It's like Fiji narrating an episode of Cosmos within a yoga class!!!! Love love love!
Fiji has helped me find so much extra space in my shoulders and lats!! Beautifully instructed, well-rounded class!
Wow, loved this class. Could really feel myself getting smaller/dense in the sinking eagle pose and then the wondrous feeling of space as I opened into warrior 3. What a wonderful class. Thank you Fiji!
Hi, I use to work out with weights,, due to LBP ,can no longer lift the weights, due to pain. I wish I did YOGO earlier in life. Fiji you are FANTASTIC I have been enjoying your classes for five months........... WOW, I LOVE Your engery and knowledge. Thank you......I always look forward for my nightly workouts with you. I'm on the intermediate level now , thanks for getting me there comfortably.
I loved the reflective meditations with the practice - the visualizations and sense of starlight helped me come closer to achieving those peak poses. Can't do them now, may never do them, but I loved the process and the attempts. A wonderful practice for a rainy day or a summer morning - Thank you!
.... for this very nice class! I always enjoy your wonderful yogaclasses!
Namaste, Angelika
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all your classes. Thank you for doing what you do!
Such a strong practice, but with the Fiji's reminders about the space and power of our energy within us, I felt confident and safe in my own abilities (and limitations!) I did Fiji's class for self empowerment yesterday and this compliments it nicely. Feeling a bit unsure of myself just now and yet I feel so comforted and supported by these classes. As ever, a debt of gratitude to you all xxx
I really love what you wrote here. I often tell my students, that in my mind being an advanced practitioner is not a reflection of how many difficulty poses you can do, but your ability to know and trust your own body in each moment. I am happy you are enjoying the new classes and that you understand yourself on the mat so well. That same confidence of self is within you, in all aspects, your learning to listen.
Fiji, I am equally delighted and horrified to see this comment: I am beside myself that you took the time to reply at all, let alone with such a thoughtful and very meaningful response. But I am horrified that I am have only just seen it and so am replying so late after the fact. I am so sorry if I appeared rude. Although funnily enough, I think I really needed to see this today. I would just like to add, you talk at the end of class of your hope of sharing light and healing and I can tell you that you have, and you do. Certainly, your stardust has reached me here in Scotland and has helped in more ways than I should probably share on a public forum on the internet. But please know your teaching has meant, and continues to mean, a great deal to me xx
I remember when intermediate practices were my comfort zone, and now, the offer me some challenge, as my upper body has weakened. I appreciate a slow moving class with challenge. I was not able to master several of the poses, but I moved closer than I would have if I hadn't gotten onto the mat. I am better for having practiced with you. Thank you Fiji.
Thank you for sharing this class. I was feeling agitated because my day was hectic and I hadn't had a chance to move my body yet. I'm so happy I took the time when I got home to do this, I feel so much better. Energy is now flowing freely and I feel much more at ease. Namaste
This one pairs really beautifully with Finding Your Ground. Thank you, as always, for all that you do.
Fiji delivers again and again. I really liked the peak pose and the preparation for it. All the talk of energy and space was a bit to much for me. I'd say focus on the practice.
Even though the peak poses were in my sense too challenging for intermediates I'm so glad it was classified as such otherwise I would have missed the wonderful visualization practice with Fiji and my own super spacious pranic experience.
Will revisit, and again be spacious with myself re: 'attaining' the peak. It's all space, it's all good :-)
Once again, I enjoyed this class. Some parts were definitely advanced. Not sure I'll ever achieve the side eagle pose (if that's what it's called) but I had fun trying! :)
Enjoyed the relaxing stretches at the start and loved what followed! I really like that in this and your other newest class you incorporate in the flow multiple intermediate-advanced poses. In many classes you have just focused on one peak pose and that is great when you are learning, but I like that these classes assume we know how to get into those "peak poses" and we get to do multiple in one practice. I enjoyed the transition from seated eagle into the variation of warrior III, feels so light and freeing! Hope you do many more like this practice! Namaste'
Was lovely for my stiff body. Liked the challenge and the thorough approach.
It wasn't raining here when I started this class, however during savasana the most amazing hailstorm rained down on my tin roof here in New Zealand......Perhaps your light & space reaches further than you think Fiji?;) Inspirational as always, thank you x
I am an intermediate level practice level. I feel that this class was definitely more of an advanced level. Very challenging.
Thank you, Fiji. <3
Although I’m a beginner, every so often I enjoy experimenting with your classes Fiji. Your guidance and philosophy of the space within us is so helpful and enlightening. I do feel a terrific sense of opening and softness in my shoulders, which are a problem area in my body. I will use this as a steady reminder to help me both on and off the mat. Thank you for a beautiful class.
Love the challenge of this class, I will be back to do it again and again! My muscles were very sore befor this class and I feel well stretched out afterwards...The reward:)
