On New Years Day this year 2019, we started our own 21 day yoga challenge and the experience was completely life-changing. We loved the 21 days of yoga so much we ended up extending to 50 days!
We experienced so many positive changes from 21 days of yoga. From helping Emma get through heartbreak, to both of us feeling less stressed, gaining so much flexibility (so cool to observe and notice) and just feeling more grounded and centred.
We notice when we practise yoga daily we are in better moods (nicer more patient humans!), we’re more grateful, we feel more abundant and like everything flows better.
And this is why we are running our first MerryBody 21 day yoga challenge.
You can join here. Sign up for MerryBody and you get access to the Challenge (and all our challenges!).
UPDATE: We do 21 day yoga challenges every 2 months inside MerryBody Studio.
All you need to do to be part of it is sign up and become a Member. The best part, your first 7 days are free and then memberships start from just $6.60 per week (charged monthly or annually).
Each 21 Day Yoga and Pilates Challenge changes each time. You can even go back and do the past challenges, they all have a different theme and purpose.
These are the classes you’ll experience during the 21 Days of Yoga Challenge.
DAY 1- GROUND YOURSELF
This yoga-inspired MerryBody class is all about grounding yourself and awakening your Muladhara Chakra (root Chakra).
DAY 2 – GET HAPPY HIPS
It’s time to get happy hips! Oh yeah! With all the booty burning fun, it’s important that we stretch out our hips and this session is dedicated to that! Did you know that we store a lot of emotion and energy in the hips?
DAY 3 QUICK 10 BEDTIME
A super blissful, relaxing and quick flow perfect to calm down the mind and body. The perfect way to finish a busy day! And yes you can even do it in bed.
DAY 4 – SIDE BODY LENGTHENING
Seriously, this yoga flow is going to make you feel amazing! We often forget to stretch the side body and if you spend a lot of your time in a forward flexion (sitting/driving etc. oops think we all need this!) you’re going to love this!
DAY 5 – IGNITE YOUR CREATIVITY
This Yoga class inspires you to ignite your creativity by awakening Svadisthana Chakra, your Sacral Chakra. The Sacral Chakra is linked directly to pleasure, sensuality, creativity, movement, flow and emotion.
