Welcome to Day 2 of the 2-Week Yoga Challenge: Find Your Flow

Tuesday, April 13th.

Welcome back, yogis! Every practice of this challenge journey will be different, and that's what makes it interesting. Yoga poses are experiences that teach you more about yourself, and every posture has a unique lesson to give.

One quality of the flow state is that people are more likely to find it if they're doing something they enjoy. For most of us, finding our flow in something we've been doing for a long time is simply remembering why we love it, rather than seeing it as a chore or something we "should" do.

What do you love about yoga? If you follow this love, you'll be more likely to come back to your mat regularly over the long haul. If you're new to yoga, you can think about this question as you gain more experience and notice the things you like about practicing.

Today you've got a flow class from Jackie if you enjoy moving with your breath. If you want to give your lower back some love and attention, Erin's class will nourish that part of your body. Or if you want to spend more time on the fundamentals, Claire's class will give you tools to take with you into your practice. 

Here are today's class choices:
