Challenge Overview

Break Free of Comfort Zones and Ignite Your Inner Fire

Tapas is a form of self-discipline outlined in the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali.

It can be translated as "to heat" or "to burn," requires great effort, moves us out of our comfort zone, and ultimately helps us find greater steadiness, courage, and emotional equilibrium in daily life.

This challenge will empower you with three practices that will test your limits in unique ways:

1. an energizing sun salutation exploration that involves a lot of repetition 2. a long hold sequence that will encourage you to be still 3. and a pranayama practice that will help you lessen inner noise and create clarity of mind

Sign up today and get one practice a week for three weeks, delivered directly to your inbox. Once you've done all three separately, try putting them all together as a full practice. Ready to begin?
