How to turn a yoga challenge into an act of self-love 💕

Dear John ,

Next week we'll be kicking off September's 30 Day Yoga Challenge on EkhartYoga.
But what comes to mind when you hear those words: yoga challenge?
You might be feeling some excitement - Yes, can’t wait to get started
A little weariness - Oof, hasn't this year given us enough ‘challenges’!?
Maybe anxiety - I’ll never be able to do it
Possibly even irritation - That’s not REAL yoga!

But what if we reframe a yoga challenge as an act of kindness and love towards ourselves? Something to nudge us towards taking a little time out each day to pause, breathe and reconnect with ourselves. Allowing us to recharge our systems and be strong for those who need us.

As Ellen Gilbert writes in her beautiful article below:

'Practicing yoga at home doesn’t just meet your needs of staying healthy and balanced – it also uniquely facilitates a self-love practice. Self-love underpins every genuine attempt at self-care – whether it’s a yoga practice, a desire to eat healthier foods, training for a marathon, or spending the day relaxing.

When you drill down to the core desire of wellness, it’s to love yourself more. Sometimes, just reconnecting with this intention is enough to shift our priorities and mindset when it comes to self-care'.

We hope you'll join us for our September 30 Day Yoga Challenge. You can try out the first three classes for free.

We kick off with a live session on YouTube with Esther Ekhart on Aug 31st to help us set our intentions together.

For details about the live classes and to get your program calendar, please sign up to the weekly program emails as well as follow the program.

We hope to see you there x
Esther and the team.
