30 Day Yoga Challenge

In case you haven't already heard - September is National Yoga Month!

Whether you're an absolute beginner who is curious about starting yoga, or you want to take your practice deeper with a regular home practice - There's no better time than the present.

I hereby challenge you, dear reader, to a 30 Day Yoga Challenge.

The challenge: Practice yoga at home every day for 30 days.
The details are completely up to you. You can use a DVD, online streaming classes, books, magazines, or a sequence you built yourself. Do whatever you want - because it's YOUR practice. Have music or not, do it alone or with friends, at night or in the morning, naked or fully clothed, indoors or out. I recommend you practice for a minimum of 20 minutes, but practice any length of time you're comfortable with.  Start the challenge at anytime - it doesn't have to be on the 1st. And if you miss a day or two - just pick up where you left off.

You'll feel better physically and emotionally, experience more mental clarity, and might even feel more upbeat. Practice every day for 30 days and see if it doesn't change your life.

Here's a video to get you started. It's maybe a 20 minute beginners' sequence. Do it every day and you'll see improvements in your asana and your attitude.


Here's the Restorative sequence video for Week 2. Toss this into the mix for balance. It uses 2 yoga blocks, but they can be substituted with pillows, blankets, towels, or whatever you have around.


For Week 3, here's a full One Hour All Levels Vinyasa Flow class complete with savasana.
All Levels = Good for Anyone.


Week 4! The final video is a 1.5 hour Anusara Yoga Class with Marie Lumholtz. It's a little longer, but I think you'll love it.


Write me to tell me if you're accepting the challenge... and/or send me a pic of you doing yoga! I'll post any pics I receive (along with a link to any site you choose), but will only post stories with your explicit permission. Send stories and pics to karmafloats {at} hotmail {dot} com
