Whether you are currently taking yoga classes or it has been months or years, YOU are invited to participate in a 40-day yoga challenge. It’s FREE!
Consistent
practice, or sadhana, has been a part of yoga tradition for thousands of
years. It’s a commitment you make to
yourself to practice something over a period of time, traditionally 40 days or
more. An example of a sadhana is the practice some Catholics undertake to avoid
meat or meat on Fridays during the season of Lent (it is 40 days from Ash
Wednesday to Palm Sunday). However, the focus of this practice is tocultivate
a healthy habit, rather than give up an unhealthy one.
What is a Yoga Challenge? It’s a commitment you make to practice
something, preferably every day. Examples:
Hint: I strongly suggest that for this challenge you pick ONE thing that is simple enough you can do it every day. That will make it easier to win the arguments you will have with your Excuse Monster. However, you may commit to 5 days out of 7 if necessary.
Hint: Make your commitment Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and give it a Time frame (daily for 40 days, or 5 days out of 7 for 40 days.) Don’t pick “tell the truth.” Instead, you might make a commitment to write a journal entry each day about how “telling the truth”(satya) entered into your day (or not!)
Who can
participate: Anyone who wants to deepen their yoga practice!
How: Everyone who wants to participate will email me or tell me what your commitment is. I will compile a list and post it on the “what’s new” page of my website. You can remain anonymous, if you’d like.
When: February 17- March 28, 2010. Local students completing the
40-day challenge will be entered in a drawing to win a prize!
