I love Instagram. I have to say that it’s probably my favorite social media channel at the moment. I love how visual it is and how much community and connection it creates.
I have enjoyed connecting with the blogging community and my readers via Instagram but the yoga community is also rocking on Instagram. One thing that has become quite popular over the last 6 months or so is yoga challenges. They’re 30 days challenges with a theme where you perform a different pose every day.
Until now I have resisted participating in these challenges but when Michael Gannon announced he was hosting a “Hashtanga September Challenge,” I couldn’t resist. First, the name hashtanga (a play off of ashtanga + hashtags)…money. Second, Michael Gannon is awesome. He owns a yoga studio in Playa del Carmen and travels internationally to teach yoga. I met him when I was down in Mexico for my last yoga retreat.
So Hashtanga requires you to Instagram video your way through the Ashtanga Primary Series. Read my post about what ashtanga is and why I love it here.
I thought I would share weekly recaps of the challenge during the month of September. It’s a fun way to share my practice with y’all!

Are you on Instagram? Do you love it? What’s your favorite social media channel?

I am sitting down to write this post with teary eyes and a heavy heart. On New Year’s Eve we said goodbye to Zoey. It seems like only yesterday that I brought this fluffy nugget home. Many of you have been here with me since Zoey was a puppy. She was the sweetest little sister [...]

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a month since I ran the Every Woman’s Marathon! One of the fun things about this year’s race was getting to visit Scottsdale, Arizona. It was my first time in Arizona and while it was a quick trip, I tried to maximize my time there. Here’s a [...]

In keeping with tradition, I’m coming in hot with a last-minute gift guide. As much as I’d like to think that one day I’ll be the kind of person who has their holiday shopping done before Black Friday…it’s just not a likely scenario. And I’m okay with that! I hope this list helps you finish [...]

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]
