November!

After taking October off to show “me” a little love, I’m back and ready to rock. November marks the return of cold weather, another YTT Module under way and being *that* much closer to some asanAWESOME PYS happenings. For this month, we’re going back to basics and rocking the mat for another 30 Days of Yoga Challenge.

For those of you who followed (or even joined us) in May, you might remember what it was all about. For anyone who is new to the party, the rules are simple. For the next 30 days, simply get on your mat. In May, a lot of us focused on exploring the Primary Ashtanga Series (see here to find the Swenson book), but there is no saying you have to. These 30 Days of Yoga can be anything you want them to be - from savasana right through to a full 2-hr practice. All you have to do is show your mat (and consequently yourself) some love every day this month.

If you’re new to yoga, or haven’t tried it yet, now is a great time to check out a class or two and see what it’s all about. Click over to the Schedules tab to see when and where we’re teaching these days.

I won’t speak for the rest of the Pranababes just yet, but I’ll be chronicling my journey here. Feel free to post and share your experiences. Also, don’t be shy about commenting. If our last 30 Days of Yoga is any indicator, we’ll sure need the encouragement at some point! As a bonus, a prize or two might be put up for grabs at the end of the month to those who have supported us along the way.

So go on, pull your mat out of the cupboard and wipe off the dust. Find a nice quiet space somewhere in your house and commit to meeting yourself there for the next 30 days.
