20 Day Yoga Program to Jumpstart Your Practice

It's time for Days 9 - 16 of the 20 Day Jumpstart Yoga Program. If you've come here today looking for Day 8's schedule, it's in this post because we have international readers so it's easier to do a full week for them so they aren't waiting around for that day's schedule to post in (their) evening.

If you need a quick refresher, here's how this works:

1. Choose a pose. Begin by choosing a pose to track your progress. Choose something you're not 100% confident in yet - something you're on the brink of being able to do.  For a beginner, you could choose any of these five poses for total beginners. My intermediate peeps might want to try something like dancer's pose, or wheel pose. And my advanced people might want to work on flipping the grip for full dancer's pose, or scorpion pose.

2. Check the schedule. Every Monday for the next few weeks, I will post the schedule here on the blog that will include the following week's Monday (this is because we have international readers and with the time change, it's easier to include Monday's schedule). As each week goes by, I will also update this post with the full schedule so you can pin this post on pinterest and keep checking back.

3. Spread the word. Go on twitter, facebook, instagram or snapchat and let your friends and the YBC community know you've committed to doing the 20 Day Yoga Program to Jumpstart Your Practice. Who knows, you may even inspire your friends to join in, or connect with other #ybcyogis online. If you need an accountability buddy, head over to the Yoga Forum and ask! 

4. Check in. Post a pic online with the pose you have chosen and use the hashtag #YBCjumpstart to connect with others. Then, once you post it, click on the hashtag and say hi to your fellow YBCers.

5. Download the YogaByCandace Official App. Search for 'yogabycandace' (no spaces) in the App Store (here is it for iTunes and Google Play) and download it (it's free!) so you can follow along to the schedule from your phone when you're on the go. If you opt-in for the exclusive subscriber section, I'll be pulling in meditations and inspirational quotes from that section. If you're a new exclusive subscriber, you won't have access to past exclusive content just because it wouldn't be fair to people who have been subscribers from day one, but don't worry - I will be incorporating new subscriber content throughout this program as well as future programs. PS - If you review our app, just send a screenshot of your review to Lauren and we'll send you a free gift in thanks.
