40-Day Yoga Challenge



Our yoga community started a 40-Day Yoga Challenge on June 18. At least 22 people have publicly stated their goals or intentions for this time. And the excitement and energy at the center has been quite noticeable! We had more students attend class in June than any other time in the last year!

Here is a sampling of what our teachers and students are intending to do to deepen their yoga practice during this time:

1. To work toward fully respecting myself in all arenas of my life, through fasting, meditation, and restraint.

2. Add meditation to my practice.

3. Attend teen yoga class regularly.

4. Attend two classes per week and maintain clean eating program.

5. Work toward feeling compassionately connected to the world around me.

6. Attend yoga classes regularly and meditate and practice mindfulness.

7. Fasting with the group for clarity and consecration. Obtain 15 benefactors for South Africa Orphanage Mission.

8. Be a student in two yoga classes per week, more to be added later.

9. Fasting for at least 3 days, suffer with those who hunger year-round and enhance self-discipline to a new level.

10. Continue my yoga practice at home during the week at least 3-4 times per week.

11. Come to every teen yoga class while I'm still in town and to start swimming again!

12. Relax a little, loosen up and regain ROM weekly.

13. Feel cleansed (mind,body, spirit) fired up, empowered, self-esteem, and motivated.

14. Come to class Tuesday and Thursday or twice/week.

15. Get to bed early, early morning yoga practice, 2 classes per week, and juice fast.

16. Add a second yoga class per week and meditation. Find ease in all my business.

17. Take class 2 times/week and study yoga teacher training daily. Eat mindfully.

18. Attend class 3 times/week and at the end of 40 days be able to do Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana.

19. Attend 3 classes per week.

29. Practice the 5 Tibetans 2 times weekly.

21. Yoga 2 times per week and mindful eating.

22. One extra yoga class, home yoga 4 times/week, and eat healthy.
