Definitely you and your classes are a great inspiration. Thanks!
Thank you for a wonderful practice, not just this one but all your practices. I don’t think I could pick a favorite amongst them. There is lots to say about how amazing you are but I most appreciate your careful attention to details, excellent cues and directions. I never have a “what on earth is she doing?” need to look at the screen to figure out anything. I can just listen, focus, and drop deep into my practice. Thank you.
Thank you for all your wonderful classes, Fiji! You are one of my all time favourite yoga teachers. I always feel amazing after your classes.
Love this class! One of my favorites. Perfect way to start my day! Thank you, Fiji, for all that you do!
Excellent class, thank you! Would this class be available for purchase/download soon?
Didn't get to do this live, alas, but it was still a treat. Like others, I love the glitches, giggles and problem solving. Just like real life.
This class works the entire body. I like the smooth flow from one pose to the next and the pace. "Shaking with Joy" is hard work. Thank you.
This was so wonderful! It's been a while since I've practised with Fiji and it was so good to come back to my roots! Thank you so much! xxx
I can't give you enough complements Fiji!! WONDERFUL class!! :) :) :)
Loved this class !! I usually do the shorter ones but this hour flew!! With a mix of all the poses I love all collected into one. Thanks so much Fiji! Nice seeing your lighter cute side too in addition to the more serious super professional side we see in the edited clips :-) - - hope I get to do a live lesson with you someday soon - once this Corona mess is behind us! In the meantime im recommending you to all my fellow Israeli yogi friends!
Perfect hour class with all the right poses to open and strengthen!!!
One of my favourite classes to date. Fiji rocked it with the poses. How might i save this live practice to my favourites?

A lovely practice. A whole lot of various asanas.
View was amazing. I did not do this live however I am sure it nice to practice with others live.
WOW! And I saw Fiji laugh for the first time in all the practices I have seen her in. Thank you, Fiji. :)
Loved this practice. Just what I needed. Thank you so much, Fiji!
I just love Fiji and loved this class, as I always do. She just has such a sweet heart and calm presence. This class was just what I needed, even though I didn’t get to do it live. Wonderful class. Thanks again Fiji.
Other than the wonderful flow, I loved getting to know Fiji! And seeing how excited she gets when people she knows and loves are mentioned or present in the comment section :) Actually as I was doing this class after the live stream (I'm from Macedonia, which is kind of on the opposite side if the globe) I never got to ask this question that I've had for a while. I mean although I can Google it, I was hoping for Fiji's take on it (if she sees this): How can one decide if they're ready for YTT? Is it being able to do a lot of advanced poses an important part of it? I feel like there are a lot of things I need to develop - like arm strength - before I can even dream of getting into some postures properly (like Flying Pigeon), but then I wonder if YTT wouldn't help with that anyway... I'd totally do one with the DYWM team btw, once the covid-19 crisis is settled... and once I think I'm ready :)
Loved every single thing about this! That first bit of leg sequencing was intense! You were like, “and now from
crescent into warrior two...” I was like FIJI!!!! It was a sneaky move lady! :) Hit all the right areas where I was holding tension. Fun, creative flow. Thank you. Cannot believe I missed you on live stream! Next time?!?! Also, super jealous you are wearing long sleeves...
I did this practice after the livestream, but it was still a nice little treat. Felt like a very soothing yet invigorating sequence. Thank you DYWM for always bringing us new gifts all the time.
Loved this class!! All my favorite poses in one class. Love that it was first a live stream. Thanks Fiji.
What a wonderful sequence of poses! Thank you Fiji!! I've been practicing to your videos for years starting as a beginner and this felt like a true integration for me. And seeing you laughing and relaxed was joyful too! Thanks to you and everyone at Do Yoga With Me for helping us all stay a bit more sane and grounded through uncertain times!
Was I the only one who had problems with the sound? The sound was on for about 5 % of the time :( Apart from that it was of course as always great.
Sorry to hear that, Peter. The class streamed without any issues for us.
Love this sequence!
Such a fun, interesting class for the curious playful yogi's. Fiji has done it again! Namaste and enjoy x
Thanks so much for this, Fiji! I couldn't join the class live but I have just followed it today, a few hours later. I live in London and I have really appreciated your classes during lock down here, I love your style of teaching, the clarity of your instruction and the way you transition so easily between postures. This was a great class, many thanks, so much appreaciated
Thank you for a wonderful class and greetings from Belgium!
This class was exactly what I needed, even though I couldn't have told you beforehand that I needed these exact postures, sequences, and comments (e.g., lifting sit bones when in squat, stretching femurs when in chair pose). I am forever grateful for Fiji's instruction and contributions to DoYogaWithMe. Huge thanks!!
So fun to do live stream with you! Your class was impeccable, as usual! I felt very energized at the end of class. Loved all of the poses and your beautiful words. Thanks so much!!! BTW I was doing your class from my back porch in Pagosa Springs Colorado.
That was a great class. Thanks so much Fiji!
Atu!! I am so happy you were there with me! I hope you are well my friend, I think of your incredible warm smile and vibrant heart often!
Unfortunately, had an appointment today at that time! Looking forward to doing the full recording. Do hope there will be another opportunity for live stream with Fiji one day soon. Love DYWM.
Wow, Fiji! Amazing as always. Thank you so much!
Great Class! I found DoYogaWithMe during lockdown. I was so impressed with your teachings and those of others on the website that I just became a sustaining member. I love the way you transition from one pose to the next. I miss going to the studio daily,(I live in the US and Covid is a concern) but I now enjoy the convenience of an at home practice. Your classes have enriched my practice even further. Before Covid, I traveled extensively and would always partake in the local yoga studios. You are one of the best teachers Ive experienced in many cities around the US as well as the world. Thanks again.
I am so happy you found your way to us! This site has always been a gift, but now more so than ever allowing all of us to continue to practice when we need it most. Perhaps when it safe to roam the globe again we will practice together in person!
Fiji, You are good medicine! I feel stronger, more balanced and engaged. Your bits of wisdom are nourishing as well- beyond the time on the mat. Love, love love your classes and the fresh live streaming is very welcome. Many thanks and Oms.
Barbara, thank you for your kid words. I hope many more of there opportunites to connect will follow today's class.

- came home and found end of it. Can you give times in other areas well in advnce pleaes as live classes are lovely - thank you
just to enjoy it was a fantastic experience to practice LIVE with you.
Hugs from Berlin and PLEASE offer a workshop in Germany sometime
Thank a lot, Fiji, missed your classes a lot! Really looking forward to be able to practice with you in real life again :-) Great class!
I am not sure if my shout outs at the start of class made it in, but I mentioned you! I can't wait to be with you in person again!
Yes!!!!! :-) I saw it and were very happy :-) Really enjoyed your class, as I always do....(I didn’t know how to comment in real time so I think I did it twice here ;-). I’ll train my patience till I can see you again, lots of love :-)
Glad on website later as missed due to being out at right time - we didn't get UK time until this came on. Can you give times for areas in advance please as a live class is lovely
Would you care to share your inspiration for this classes theme? Stir it up!
Yes! I think the beginning of the class got cut out, I explained it then! The intention of our practice is to awaken dormant energy, and potention. To once again get things to flow, connect and ignite within us so that we can grow, change, and evolve. I think we are being invited to take a big leap in our evolution right now, all of humanity is feeling the growing pains, it is time to stir it up and take part in our own individual and collective evolution.
Thank you Fiji. namaste from Louisiana. I would love to meet you in person.
Hi Fiji, I discovered DoYogaWithMe during lockdown and have become addicted. Thank you for this lovely class .
Namaste from your (probably one of many) daily quarantine U.S. Zoom yoga fanclubs!
Awesome class.... thanks a million.
Your the best!!!
Thanks so much for this wonderful class, which for me is an evening one to end my workday, as I'm in Paris, France. An amazing way to connect across the continents
