12 Day Yoga Invitation

I just participated in my first Instagram photo challenge. The challenge was a 12-day Invitation to Yoga hosted by Prana.

Yoga Invitation

I’ve had friends and teachers participate and host other challenges. I’ve resisted joining those I think out of a reluctance to commit to 30 days of selfies. The fact that this challenge was only 12 days convinced me along with an opportunity to win some Prana clothing. I LOVE Prana, and wear their clothes almost daily. The chance to win some, won me over to the yoga invitation.

Prana has some of the best clothes for yoga, hiking, climbing, and active lifestyle.

The Spring Awakening Sequence

The sequence was Follow nature’s springtime energy to break through places that feel rigid and stuck with this heart opening sequence. Nourish the seeds of growth by remembering to consciously breathe new life into each form. A key action to connect to this power of renewal is to root down into the creative Source so that you can rise up and evenly express your spirit through these physical forms. ~Michael Fukumura
