What Is Yoga?

Yoga is not exactly exercise, but I find it a little bit hard to describe. Here’s the definition I found on the Google:

” a Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline, a part of which, including breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures, is widely practised for health and relaxation.”

Thus, yoga is a holistic practice that can benefit your physical, mental and emotional health.

Benefits Of Yoga

Here are some of the many benefits of yoga according to Healthline:

you become more mindful of how you treat your body
better sleep quality
can help improve flexibility and posture
can help you stress less
some types of yoga can help you burn more calories, thus lose weight
beneficial for your cardiovascular health
can increase strength

The Yoga Challenge

The challenge for the next seven days is pretty simple: do 30 minutes of yoga every day.

Whether you do those 30 minutes of yoga in the morning or break the 30 minutes into three 10-minute yoga sessions when you’re having a break from work or other obligations doesn’t matter.

The point is to sneak in some yoga in your everyday life! It will make your week so much better.

The routines you’ll find below are all free and can be found on Youtube, but if you want to do something more exclusive and structured, you can get started with Premium yoga at Grokker. You can use this link to get a 14-Day trial to all programs and workout videos for free.

See the goal for this yoga challenge is to get into the habit of doing something good for the mind and body every single day.

To make it easier to develop that habit, track! Track how many days you’ve practiced yoga. You can do this in your bullet journal, if you’re using one or use the free printable habit tracker I made for you. In that tracker you can also track other positive habits like flossing, reading or eating healthy. You can find more ideas for the habit tracker here and you can download the habit tracker here.

7 Days Of Yoga Challenge

As I mentioned, it doesn’t matter whether you do the 30 minutes at once or break them down and do yoga during your 10-minute break. Below you’ll find seven 30-minute yoga routines that I would gladly be doing every morning after I wake up. But, we all know this probably won’t happen with my 2-year old who is obviously competing with me in a who-can-wake-up-earlier contest…

So further below you’ll find a small list with some more yoga videos that are 10-minutes or less!

Also, thank to all the instructors who made and shared these amazing videos online for free.

< 10-Minute Yoga Routines

Now, it’s time to get real here and see which yoga routines I’ll actually be able to sneak in. The following yoga videos are 10 minutes or less and there really are no excuses.
