Thank you Fiji. A great class to remind me of proper shoulder alignment.
That was so helpful and for sure I will come back to this again, and again. Thank you Fiji
That was helpful, thank you Fiji!
After doing this tutorial now twice I see a glimmer of hope! Also it will not be easy to correct poses I have done wrong for so many, many years. A lot of homework to do, thanks.
Very nice. I enjoy these shorter, specifically focused classes as much as the longer ones. Thank you.
Thank you for the session I just got off work and it was a nice stretch and u do learn something new everyday thank you again
I tweaked my rotator cuff at work and it was getting more and more painful to raise my arm overhead. Chaturanga was impossible. After doing this tutorial just once my shoulder feels stronger and both more stabile and more mobile! Feeling grateful and hopeful about my shoulders healing and getting stronger :-)
I never knew I was doing chaturanga wrong until watching this several times. It's much harder the right way! After a shoulder sprain and months of PT without a lot of improvement, I started alternating days with this video and David's Ultimate Shoulder Stretch video, and have seen huge improvements quickly. Thanks!
Excellent tutorila on shoulder strength. Wonderful to revisit what to do / not do or , for beginners, to get it right to begin with.
This was a very helpful tutorial which I will revisit.
Excellent shoulder manipulation, especially for my overtaxed computer arms. Thanks.
great tutorial!
Nice shoulder work. Since I have been having wrist pain, it's really important to revisit and make sure the problem isn't coming from my shoulders.
Nice explanation and reminder for shoulder use. Thanks Fiji.
great class
Excellent targeted shoulder work. Thank You Fiji! You rock!
Like the shoulder focus. The detailed instructions are a good reminder to stay focused on form. Gave 4 starts because I anticipated a 30-day "intermediate" challenge.
We want more! Thank for the pointers! and training!
Great tutorial, will use this regularly.
Nice explanation of shoulder use. I will use this from time to time.
A great and very informative practice! Some wonderful reminders about alignment and also some new cues that will be very helpful to me. I will definitely be revisiting this one :)
Nice reminder!
I've been working hard to advance my practice, and coming back to the foundations is always a great reminder that sometimes to move forward, we need to look back at what matters most. Thank you, Fiji!

Such a simple shoulders reliever!! Thank you Fiji :)
Great class! Good to go back to basics sometimes!
Great reminder.
A great short class!
That was super helpful!
I like this class. It has really helped me remember how to maintain shoulder strength correctly. It does seem a little weird that this isn’t one of the first classes in the challenge.
Awesome!
I have revisited this class from time to time as I have an old rotator cuff injury - taking it gently its a great practice for reminding your body to engage well in all ranges of motion with your shoulder joints. Yoga has been such a great practice for overcoming injury for me, thanks Fiji for this contribution!
A short, helpful class with reminders on proper shoulder positions.
Great shoulder work! Will come back to this video often
Absolutely wonderful class,and an absolutely wonderful teacher. Thanks Fiji for the clear instructions. This is one class that will become a regular.
Excellent short documentary/practice for shoulder health and strength
thanks for the shoulder reminders. *** love it figi.
Nice , short tutorial and great reminders for daily practice. Thank you Fiji.
Short and useful class. Thanks.
Something I struggle with is shoulders, and this is a great reminder to assure I'm positioning them correctly.
I give this 5+:) Love the breakdown for chatturanga in relation to the clavicle - such a subtle cue but one that will preserve the yogis well bine:) THANKYOU
helpful!
Wow! Short class, but my shoulders are so warm!
amazing tutorial, my shoulders feel great
Very useful to work the shoulders, but doesn't give that much as a standalone class in the yoga challenge.
Great tutorial as part of the 30-day challenge.
Efficient and effective. Great lesson on the collar bone and bringing awareness to an overlooked part of the (my) body!
Such good instruction in this one. :)
Great reminders to come back to every so often. Thanks!
I particularly appreciate the wrist stretching from the first few minutes. Quite soothing!
