You feel better than when you started? Check.

If the closest you get to a moment of zen is scrolling through yoga poses on Instagram, let’s redirect at least some of that time into a practice you’ll actually stick with—enter our April 2024 Movement of the Month Club, a 4-week yoga challenge that aims to bring you some much-needed, real-world tranquility.

Don’t worry if you’re still finding your footing in downward dog or if the idea of touching your toes feels more like a distant dream than a reality. This program is all about meeting you where you are and helping you through each pose with grace, patience, and maybe a touch of sweat.

Guiding you through the next month is Paige Willis, RYT-200, certified yoga instructor and founder of Undone, a pop-up yoga experience. Her goal is to expand the definition of who yoga is for—everyone.

“Yoga can be practiced by anyone, no matter your age, body type, or background,” she says. “The part people miss about the practice today is that it’s deeper than the physical postures themselves.”

“When we focus on arriving into the moment, we practice yoga. When we sit down and take five deep breaths, we practice yoga. When we commit to learning and bettering ourselves, we practice yoga. And if you think about it that way, it becomes far more accessible than the pretzel-like shapes and skin-tight clothing it’s often reduced to.”

Whether you’re a seasoned yogi looking to deepen your practice or a curious newbie eager to dip your toes into the world of yoga, consider this your official invitation to join us on this journey. Roll out your mat, take a deep breath, and flow through the next four weeks with us. Your body, mind, and soul will appreciate it.

Join us for the benefits of yoga

Yoga isn’t just about achieving Instagram-worthy flexibility—it’s a holistic practice with a ton of benefits for your body and mind. From enhancing flexibility and strength to improving balance and posture, yoga provides a full-body workout that leaves you feeling revitalized and rejuvenated.

But the benefits extend beyond the physical. Through mindful breathing and meditation techniques, yoga cultivates a sense of inner calm and mental clarity, helping reduce stress and symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Moreover, regular yoga practice can boost your immune system, promote better sleep, and increase overall well-being, according to a February 2022 study in the Journal of Integrative and Complementary Medicine, leaving you feeling more centered, grounded, and ready to take on whatever life throws your way.
