PSA: Don't forget! You can now download the YBC Official App, where you will have access to all our videos and there is an in-app subscription service where you can download exclusive content not found anywhere else. You'll be able to use those vids any time you don't have internet access! If you download the app and have a second to review it in the App Store, I'd be so thankful! Also, our Costa Rica jungle yoga retreat is happening in November and I'd love to meet ya on the mat!
It's been a while since we've done a 30 day program, and since the beginning of fall always feels like a chance to start fresh, I'm excited to introduce the 30 Day Mindful Yoga Program for September. This is for my people who are looking to go deeper and become more in tune with their personal practice and let that positive energy they cultivate on the mat fuel their lives off the mat as well. Here's how it will work:
1. Pick a pose to focus on
This can be absolutely any pose you like from savasana (hey, that's a pose!) to one finger handstand (although I don't recommend that!) and anything in between. Choose something that you're struggling with, not something that you feel 100% confident in so that there is room for growth.
2. Introduce yourself
I love the idea of introducing yourself in the YBC Official App, where there is an instagram-like feature. Just click 'meet and greet' and share a little snapshot of yourself and say hello. You can also join in on the conversation on the YBC Yoga Forum if you need help, have questions or want to find a motivation buddy. You can also post in instagram with the hashtag #ybcmindful. Then, click the hashtag and say hello and give a virtual high five to your fellow participants.
3. Follow the schedule
Each Monday, I'll post a schedule that you can follow along to. Pick and choose what works for you based on your ability, energy level, and more. Remember that honoring how your body feels is the highest form of yoga you can do. No worries about doing absolutely everything on the list - or if you want to do more, feel free! This is just a suggested guide.
4. Take photos and keep a journal
If you're looking to track your progress, take photos every week and take notes in your journal now various aspects of your practice. What changes are you noticing? What's been challenging for you? What's come with ease? Where is there room for growth? At the end of the month, share your before and "after" photo (I say "after" because let's be real, it's not the be all, end all) and use the hashtag #ybcmindfulresults on instagram or post it in the YBC Official App or on the YBC Yoga Forum -wherever you feel most comfortable.
So....who's in?!
