This class was lovely - slow but with a lot of intention, good leg stretch and twists, amazing as always direction from Fiji w/a great message too! I’ve downloaded and will do again!🌈
Hi Fiji. I see this class pre-dates covid but I wanted to let you and the DYWM community know that (at least in my experience) it is a great way to get back into the swing of yoga following covid recovery (along with some of your other gentle classes). I have been doing yoga since 1999 and have had dozens of instructors, and you are truly among the very best. It is wonderful to come across a person who is so great at what she does and so clearly and perfectly suited to her work. Thank you!

This class is a godsend!
Firstly:
- Ladies, I can't recommend this one enough for those times when those big hormonal shifts/drops leave you feeling especially depleted. Seriously, what an utter panacea.
But secondly, I do have a question for Fiji:
- Regarding the variation on Virasana/Hanumanasana nearer to the end of the class, with one foot folded back, the other leg outstretched, in order to lean forward over the extended leg... Where, ideally, should this stretch be felt? Is it intended to target more of the hamstring, the lower back, or the IT band? I can see, for example, that you (Fiji) manage to keep your foot/toes pointed pretty vertically, where as mine seems to need to roll outward (and it thus gets into the IT band the more I let that happen. Which honestly I'm a little too hungry for all the time...). I do have some mobility issues with my hips/hip flexors and a somewhat weak pirifomis (working on it), and sometimes "grumpy" knees. As well I do have, eh... a little "extra" in the thigh/glutes area... But I'm otherwise quite strong/flexible, so I'm simply hoping to determine where I'm at with this pose (anatomically versus flexibility).
I hope that makes sense! I do recognize, each time, the need to just listen to my body to go where "we" need to go, but I've run into this pose/situation in at least one other of your classes, and I'm trying to determine where to focus the effort & surrender (what to hold, what to let go). I tremendously appreciate your time if you manage to get to this. Thank you so much!
