Day 4 - Align & Shine: A 2-Week Yoga Reset

🔥 Day 4: Show Up Anyway

Thursday, April 9th

Day 4—this is where it counts.

By now, the initial excitement may be fading a bit. Life gets busy, motivation dips, and it becomes easier to say, “I’ll skip today and pick it back up tomorrow.” But this is the moment that matters most.

Because showing up when you don’t feel like it?
That’s where real change begins.

You don’t need to feel motivated. You don’t need the perfect amount of time or energy. You just need to take one small step—roll out your mat and press play. Once you begin, everything shifts.

Today’s focus: Consistency.
Consistency isn’t about being perfect—it’s about coming back, again and again. Every time you show up, you’re reinforcing a powerful message to yourself: I follow through. I take care of myself.

So meet yourself where you are today. Choose from the two class options below—one beginner-friendly, one intermediate—or explore another free class on our site (or from our full library if you have a subscription).

The most important thing is simple: keep going.

🗣️ Let’s keep each other going! 👇
Comment below and let us know:
→ What class did you choose and how did it go?
→ Did you feel resistance today? What helped you show up anyway?

Every comment = another entry to win one of our 4 prize packages 🎉

📝 Journal/Thought Prompt of the Day:

Q. What tends to pull you off track when you’re trying to build a new habit—and what can you do differently this time to stay consistent?

Write your response in a journal or simply think about the response to yourself.

Here are today's class options:

Stay Low Stretch for Tight Hips & Hamstrings with Mary Baker

30 min class

Level: All Levels| Intensity: Ahhhhhh

If you have tight hips and hammies then this class is just what your body needs. No flow, no chaturangas...just focused stretches and longer holds to get into those big joints and muscles that are begging for some release. This class is a perfect add on after an active yoga flow, workout or just a long day at the office.

Healthy Backs: Nurturing Hope Through Backbends with Kristin Gibowicz

30 min class

Level: Intermediate| Intensity: You'll Feel It

What does embodied hope look like? Is life weighing you down or are you walking with your head high and with an open heart full of hope. This practice incorporates nourishing backbends like sphinx, floor blow and even an opportunity to cultivate Ardha Chandra Chapasana (half-moon bow pose). Backbends energize and help us counter and strengthen our modern and chronic postural patterns. You can take this slow or customize with vinyasa transitions to build heat.

You only need to choose one class.

*If you're feeling in the mood for something different you can choose any of our free classes on our site (or any other class you'd like!). The most important thing is to show up and get on your mat!
