- This is a 45 minute vinyasa flow. Part 3 of a series of morning classes designed to enliven your whole body so you can move into your day with clarity, intention and ease.
Each class in this series follows a similar structure and builds on the previous one. The first class is a gentle flow • 30 Minute Morning Viny...
introducing all the elements of this morning series and the subsequent classes explore more warming versions in each pose category.
This series offers you an opportunity to build your skills and proficiency in movement and breath work. You'll get to experience all the benefits of a regular morning practice and step into your day more intentionally.
Expect a warm up through cat/cow, 1/2 flows, sun salutes (C & A), standing (warriors, triangle, lunges and lunge twist), balancing (warrior 3, 1/2 moon, side plank), twists (chair & reclined), backbends (sphinx, cobra, locust, wild thing), an inversion (in this class I offer legs up, shoulder stand & headstand options), cool down, seated pranayama (breath work - Violoma B) and a quiet moment to set the tone for your day.

Good Morning! Way off balance today! Lots of distractions, I guess! Lovely breath work and love my mornings and starting my day with Fiona and Sonia!
Tickles for Ralphie, the wonderful dog!♥️🥰🧘🏻♀️🙏
I’ll pass the tickles on. Just about to take them on a walk :-) 🙏❤️
🙏 I love when the doggies join you! Makes me truly smile! I wonder if they giggle at our downward dogs 🐕
Thanks Silvia! Whenever I roll out my mat, Ralphie slinks in and does his down dog. And Stella just eyes me from her bed x love having them for company. 🙏
Good morning flow ❤️❤️❤️ thank you Fiona ❤️❤️❤️
Always welcome Claudia 🙏❤️
@@TwoBirdsYoga 😘😘
Une belle séance pour commencer la journée Fiona merci !!! 🙏 Sylvie 😀
Hope your day was wonderful? Enjoy your weekend ahead Silvie 🙏❤️
Great practice again, Fiona, many thanks, especially for the meditative cues and the meditation at the end. With the impact of war noticeable in our near vicinity it is even more important to find refuge in this kind of practice, Louise
Absolutely so devastating what’s happening over there. From pandemic to war. Floods up north here wiping out towns. Take care.. let’s hope it simmers down! Take care, thx louise x 🙏
Thanks Fiona - a fab start to the morning!
Have an awesome day Geetesh 🙏
You never cease to amaze me. I can't even begin to describe how badly I needed this beautiful practice today. Thank you so much!
Wonderful to hear! Thank you! Have a great, restful weekend ahead x 🙏
Oh such a good practice!. I am feeling so calm and yet clear and alert following this dynamic (and slightly sweaty) flow with the pranayama at the end. Wow! Thank you, as always, Fiona!
You’re so welcome Barbara. Great to hear your kind feedback. Thank you ❤️🙏
Hi Fiona, Your yoga brings so much needed peace in this crazy world. Lovely to see your face in the videos. Thank you :)
Thanks so much! Definitely feels like an apocalypse these past two years. Pandemic, then war, climate change bearing down on us. Thank goodness for yoga huh?! 🙏
Deep thank you for this beautiful practice and as always for your bright energy. Grateful.
You’re so very welcome Ebru 😊 thank you ❤️🙏
honestly you are the first yoga teacher that I love everything about the practice. the instructions as well as explanations for poses, how do they work on our body, your gentle voice, and tho dogs barking
Awww Maria! Thank you x so kind. My beautiful dogs manage to somehow make an appearance :-) this time…. Stella… having a little bark in the background. Siri (on my Apple Watch also interrupted…. With ‘I don’t understand’!! … but I edited her out. Lol! 🙏

What a gorgeous practice, Fiona. I loved the transition into leg-lifted side-plank -- although I did have a bit of a toe dance to get there. You're the official Sequence Whisperer!
Lol! Love it. Thank you Sandra 🙏❤️
Ideal begin of our day here, strong, calm & concentrated -although I had a good laugh twisting in Headstand, so that I used the wall to calm down again 🤗, - seriously, your teachings give me such joy & invite me to go explore, warming well, I'm most grateful to be walking this path with you! (You community eagerly awaits tge merchandising, "Follow The Sock!" or "Stay With Me, There's A Rest Coming Up!" ...etc...)

Aww thanks! The sun has been shining in the studio for days. Lighting has been kind! Lol
Hey Fiona, it’s been three weeks since my last class with you. I hurt my toes on my left foot. Had to wait for them to heal. So, today is my first day back. I enjoyed it and truly appreciate that you are there for me with all the variety of yoga classes you offer. I missed you.
Welcome back Patti! Hope your toes fully recovered? 🙏❤️

Wonderful flow. I liked having options. Enjoyed pranayama.
Thank you Colleen! Glad you enjoyed it. Nice to have options. I often do this in my live classes towards the end. I find everyone then has the opportunity to do what feels best x appreciate your feedback 🙏❤️
Beautifull practice! Love from Holland. It was a great start of my day after a rough night of sleep.
Thank you!! I had a rough sleep too. Have a wonderful day ahead x
The morning started hectically at 5.30 am (the dog has diarrhea!). Now she sleeps blissfully and I greeted the morning with this absolutely fantastic hour. I feel great and take the serenity with me into the day. Thanks a million!
Oh what a start to your day?! Sunshine and rain. Our dog has had the same! Messy business. Great you got your zen back :-) hope your lovely puppy all better? X 🙏
@@TwoBirdsYoga Yes, she is, hope your dog as well. Thanks for asking!
Petra Freund oh good to hear. Yes, she’s just old. 12 yo… Great Dane

Always wonderful. 🧡 Left smiling from my heart. Thank you 🙏
Aw that’s so lovely to read! Thanks so much Rose 🙏❤️
🙏🏼
Welcome 🙏
Such a fab sequence transitioning into Wild Thing! It was the first time I felt like I wanted to stay there instead of hoping my arm didn't snap off.
Thanks so much Sandra! It’s a smoother transition from side plank than flip dog I think. Great you enjoyed 🙏 ❤️
Great class Fiona - thank you! Sent funds via PayPal. 🧘♀️💕
Thanks so much Stephanie ❤️🙏
Great class, thank you Fiona
You’re so welcome Fritz :-) 🙏
This is a beautiful practice, Fiona, thank you! I've never done Violoma before--so glad to add it to my practice. Namaste!
Thanks so much Jeanine xx you can also practice violoma a … for a morning class… interrupted inhales, relaxed exhales. Nice way to wake the body :-) 🙏
@@TwoBirdsYoga Thanks Fi! Great to know.
Loving this series. I still haven't gone back to in person classes. The quality here makes me feel like I don't need to. Thank you.
So great Paul. Thank you. Home practice can be so convenient. I think many have found that same groove. Enjoy! 🙏
Hard but so good!! Thank you Fiona…
Well done xx thanks for flowing with me xx 🙏❤️
So so happy I found your channel! Love this series! Thank you 😊
Welcome to Twobirds 😊 So happy to hear you’re enjoying the flows. Appreciate your kind feedback 🙏
💕🙏
Thanks so much Suzana ❤️🙏
Thank you so much. I did it in the afternoon but it was exactly what I needed to calm down my mind. It is so difficult now to keep calm when you constantly hear about the war in neiborhood....
Gosh, I know! What’s happening in Ukraine is so devastating. And you’re so close. So heartwarming to see neighbours welcoming those who’ve had to flee with open arms and help. Just hope it ends soon xx 🙏
I love this series so much. Thank you 🙏☀️
Awesome! thank you Silvia xx always appreciate your feedback and support 🙏❤️
Thanks a lot 🙏❤️
You’re welcome Luisa :-) 🙏
Wonderful 🕊
Thank you so much Barbara 🙏❤️
Swapping morning for evening again 😊 Amazing flow! Thank you very much ❤
Good evening Sosema :-) thank you! Enjoy your night x 🙏
Great morning practice! I really enjoyed the breathing practice at the end. Thank you!
So great to hear Rachel! Thank you x
When you started the flow with half vinyasas I knew it is gonna be great. Little hard for the end of the day but I survived with a little bit of slacking :) Have a wonderful day Fi and we are waiting for new uploads.BTW I did not realize how beautiful eyes you have :) they are like gorgeous
Aww thank you Iskra:-) my next series will be evening flows… should be right up your alley :-) nice way to wind down :-) 🙏❤️
Perfect voice, perfect rythm, and for me today perfect class. I am so thankful for your work Fiona!
So grateful for your always inspiring and motivating feedback Odi 🙏❤️
Wow! I love your flows but many are too slow for someone hyperactive like me. I like to move quick in my vinyasa (no hiits though) but today, i was so tired and thought two birds has a lot of gentle flows but also didnt want too slow of a flow so i picked a morning yoga class. This was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much!! Please please make more like this
I understand xx I do move slower these days for sure. Here’s a list of classes you might like - not too fast, not too slow :-)

A beautiful practice as a smoothing interlude in the early afternoon brightness that energetically flows easily into the rest of my day. Grateful thanks for your graceful guidance in this lovely class. Have a delightful day. Eric 😊✌💚
Have a wonderful Friday Eric! Thanks so much always for your support and kind words 🙏
whoo wee!! swapped morning for afternoon and it was just what I needed . Breathe work was so insanely calming i almost toppled over from just letting go. Good one Fi- cant wait for # 4 !
Lol!! That’s funny. So great you enjoyed it in the afternoon x thanks again. So love hearing your feedback. 🙏❤️
Thank you so much for guiding us through these flows and sequences. Your channel is a daily habitual ritual in my life.
Would love to know more about how you got into yoga and fitness along with any recommended books, or other sources to help us gain a better understanding of the vinyasa flow and poses
As always,
Thank you
You’re so welcome Mike. So grateful for your support, encouragement and practicing so regularly with me :-) I’ve always tried to stay active over the years. Horse riding in my teens, Triathlons in my 20’s. Yoga in my early 30’s following a knee injury. I found the practice so healing and inspiring. Trained in 2007 in Byron bay with John Ogilvie and have been guiding classes since. Now I combine mountain biking, surfing, hiking when I have time to stay fit.
I think the book that changed my life was called Buddhism for busy people! Gave me a whole new perspective on how to approach life with a softer more joyful attitude. The author has many books that really resonate. David miche:-) I also refer often to the training books I’ve gathered over the years. Paul Grilley, has very insightful breakdowns on asana in his yoga anatomy book. I also love the yogaland podcast. Such a wonderful resource for teachers. Gosh… the list could go on and on. These days I mostly read topic specific articles and listen to well-being podcasts. Mind body green also a favourite 🙏
@@TwoBirdsYoga Thank you Fiona!
Amazing! Your channel and provided practices are completely transformative, both physically and mentally - completely life changing. It has been an honor to develop my practice with your help.
I sincerely appreciate the sources too. Spent time today learning about Purna Yoga and the 8 Limbs Talk by John Ogilvie :)
Again - thank you very much for your time and effort. Practicing with you has been healing, and inspiring for me.
Cheers
So wonderful to hear Mike. Really honoured that the practices I’ve shared have really resonated with you. It’s your practice and discipline that’s offered healing. Yoga can really be such a life changer for some. It was for me. Thanks so much for your wonderful message. Heartwarming to read 🙏
How do you do to maintain a flat belly. Please let me know…
Eat well. Do yoga :-) 🙏❤️
Thank you! Another super wonderful vinyasa.. you are so special..💝🙏🌹🌹🌹
And special thanks to you for flowing with me 🙏❤️
