Ignite The Fire Within - A 30-Day Virtual Yoga Challenge
For centuries, we’ve honored fire as a symbol of life, enlightenment, and renewal. Fire is the ultimate purifier, destroyer, and provoker of change. As we move through the darkness and cold of the winter months, we look to the light within to persevere.
Igniting the Fire Within is the theme for January’s 30-Day Virtual Yoga Challenge. Embark on a journey and explore what lights you up, with yoga classes, meditations, pranayamas, and journaling prompts to connect you to the strength and wisdom of the fire within.
Stimulating the digestive fires is key to the body’s assimilation and maintaining gut health and how we feel. The belly communicates with our brain through nerves and hormones and contains the bacteria and immune cells that resist bacteria and viruses. When strong and balanced, the belly’s Agni helps digest the foods we eat and all life experiences.
“If we take care of our Agni, our inner fire, and take care of our gut health and digestion, we don’t have to worry about Ama, which is toxins. Toxins may be physical or mental; we come into all sorts of ama that affects how we feel. To stay in optimal health, we focus on the positive; on creating strong Agni.”
– Ayurveda Therapist, Maria Garre.
We’re offering this event to the community at large, for Free!

The Classes
To be able to maintain fire, you must tend it wisely. I’ve curated a mix of classes to give you days of rest or contemplation along with days to build heat and strength.*
Fridays & Saturdays – Vinyasa
Sundays – Yin/Restorative
Mondays – Hatha
Tuesdays – Vinyasa
Wednesdays – Slow Flow Vinyasa
Thursdays – Meditation & Mantra
*We invite you to listen to your body throughout the month. Remember that every pose/variation is an offering; you don’t have to do them. Rest when you need to. Before going deeper into a pose, ask yourself, does this serve where my body and mind are today?
