Yoga challenges have become a big trend on Instagram and a very addictive one at that! Not familiar with the idea? To take part participants post a photo attempting a daily asana and tag the sponsors of the challenge.
An amazing before and after progress picture or a fancy looking pose can motivate us all on our yoga journey. And there’s no better way to chart your physical progress than through the eye of a lens. What I love even more is the Instagram support network, with fellow yogis sharing encouragement and helpful tips on your latest post. Whether you’re a yoga novice or at a more advanced skill level, you can have some great fun getting creative with a yoga challenge. And if you follow the rules there might even be a free prize in store at the end!
