Instagram Challenges Are Back with #StartStrong2016

December 30, 2015 By Monica Stone-Thompson Leave a Comment

You all know I’ve been doing Instagram challenges here and there, but I’m stoked to tell ya that I’m going to be hosting them throughout 2016. Yippeeee!

The JANUARY YOGA CHALLENGE is‪ #‎StartStrong2016‬ !

I’d be honored if you’d to join my IG family and practice daily with me! It’s such a happy and supportive community, and I know you’ll love it! 

What I love about these challenges is that it let’s me be a little more creative. I get to experiment with postures that I don’t practice often since I’m so dedicated to my Ashtanga practice.

I like to call this my #YogaExploration time. 

Plus, I joined with three awesome yogis that will also post with modifications and variations.

I know some yoga postures can be like, “whaaaa… my leg doesn’t do that!”

No fear! @hungryforbalanceheather @ourfittribe and @mandelicious and I will show you step-by-step how to rock these postures. 

Here’s how it works….
