The Yoga Challenge is a type of class that is offered by a growing number of studios, in which participants take a class every day for thirty consecutive days. This is an activity that a rising number of people have been trying, including everyone from yoga beginners to those who are quite experienced with the practice.
There are a range of different mental and physical benefits that can be experienced by taking the Yoga Challenge. That said, this practice isn’t for everybody. While it is safe for most people, it is still very important for you to speak with your doctor about your intention to give it a try. This will provide you with the opportunity to find out if it will be safe and effective for you, and will let you know about any adjustments you might need to make to certain poses, in order to avoid injury or other problems.
If you do speak with your doctor and decide that the Yoga Challenge is right for you, then you might find yourself enjoying the following benefits:
- A greater sense of motivation and drive.
- A stronger sense of community as you get to see the same people every day and get to know them a little bit better – particularly as you all work toward a common goal together.
- Improvements to cardiovascular efficiency.
- Normalization of gastrointestinal function.
- Improved respiratory efficiency.
- Enhanced musculoskeletal flexibility.
- Greater range of motion of the joints.
- Normalization of endocrine function
- Improved posture
- Better endurance
- Greater resiliency and overall strength
- Boosted energy levels
- Immune system support
- Improvement of sleep quality
- Development of better balance
- Better overall awareness
- Improvements to your mood and sense of well-being
- Creation of a sense of self-actualization and self-acceptance
- Greater concentration
Naturally, these benefits don’t all just turn on as though you were flipping a switch. A single yoga session will not cause all these things to occur, at full strength, all at once. But by continuing with the classes in a fitness appropriate way, it will allow your body and mind to gradually build in each of these areas. The key is to accept yourself, pace yourself, and keep up your motivation and willingness to attend each class. Not every class will feel like a complete victory, but each one will help to bring you closer to important benefits milestones.
