Ashtanga Community Challenge
Connect with our growing Ashtanga community on social media and share how your practice is unfolding and supporting your daily life each day. Beginning January 25, we’ll be exploring the Yamas and Niyamas as they apply to our daily lives, identify why these practices are important and how we can connect to them within our posture practice. Each day, Jessica (@jessicalynne108) will post about one of the ethical principles of yoga and ways we might apply these lessons to our daily life. Tag @bellapranayoga in each entry along with #yogafoundationschallenge and #bellapranaashtanga to be entered in a drawing to win:
