Day 3 of the #Selflovingyogis July challenge ❣Self Care activity: Put on a cute outfit. Outfit can be cute, sexy, fun, comfortable, crazy, fancy, minimal. Whatever you want! A new cute outfit or an outfit that you have maybe only worn once but couldn't find that time to ever wear it again can be a fun new change out of your normal routine! Also just wearing a comfortable outfit like your favorite leggings, cute shorts, and favorite top. Trying new outfits on at your favorite store can be a fun dress up as well. I like taking pictures in an outfit I can't afford sometimes so I don't feel like I'm obsessing over an outfit. Have fun with it today! Both of these outfits I got from @forever21plus, and I haven't worn them since I got them! I still really love them, just didn't know when I would ever wear them. So I thought today should be the day! How to join in: - Post a photo (s) or video of what you feel like for the self care activities, and of yourself in the daily yoga pose. - Tag myself @biggalyoga (TBA sponsors) with #selflovingyogis so I can follow you along on your journey. - Share the flyer and tag a friend to spread the word and join in anytime! . . . #yoga #selfcare #selflove #yogalove #yogatherapy #yogachallenge #summerofselfcare

Day 4 of the #Selflovingyogis July challenge ❣Hero Pose / Virasana You can come into Virasana with or without props, and/or come into a Reclined Hero Pose (swipe for variation). . Coming onto the floor, you can have the knees together sitting on the heels, or hip distance apart to sit on the floor between the ankles. You can use a blanket over the heels, or place a block or cushion under the butt to be propped up. Hands placed on top of the thighs, spine upright, chin slightly down, gazing ahead or with the eyes closed down. To come down slowly into a Reclined Hero, place the hands back and by your side's, dropping down to your forearms. Keep the spine long and elongated (you can also place a long bolster to support the back). Only come down as far as it feel comfortable but not painful, this is a deep pose so take your time. . 💥 We also have a couple sponsors joining, so please tag @bombsheller @luminanceskincare and @stardancerdesigns in the rest of your posts for the challenge! They will be generously giving gifts to a couple of you at the end of the challenge! .

Day 2 of the #Selflovingyogis July challenge ❣Thread the Needle

Practice whichever position works best for you with or without props! Begin on your hands aligned under the shoulders and knees under the hips. Reach the right arm up opening up to the right side, then sweep the right hand down threading the arm under the body towards the left side. Then drop the shoulder and head down to the floor. If the shoulder and head don’t reach, or that sensation feels too deep right now, place a block or folded blanket underneath for support or drop the forearm down to the floor still twisting the torso as much as you can.

How to join in: - Post a photo (s) or video of what you feel like for the self care activities, and of yourself in the daily yoga pose. - Tag myself @biggalyoga (TBA sponsors) with #selflovingyogis so I can follow you along on your journey. - Share the flyer and tag a friend to spread the word and join in anytime! . . . #yoga #selfcare #selflove #yogalove #yogatherapy #yogachallenge #summerofselfcare

Hey everyone! This Saturday will be the start of another #selflovingyogis yoga/self-care challenge hosted by me! It is a 25 day challenge with 13 days of self care activities, and 13 days of yoga poses! Sometimes we want to know what self care can look like and I've chosen a handful of activities that I've used along with yoga poses to practice throughout the month! You can also add in other health-care activities that you've practiced yourself like putting on make-up, hanging out with friends, or as simple as staying hydrated!

This challenge is about your own accountability. You pushing yourself towards your own self-care. I hope that you treat the challenge as pushing yourself positivity. Not focusing or getting upset that you missed a day or a handful of days, but enjoying the simple benefits of taking care of your own well being. Looking forward to the challenge! 💕

How to join in:

1. Repost flyer to help spread the word, tagging a friend who might want to join with you as a support system.

2. Follow myself @biggalyoga (and possible sponsors TBA)

3. Follow along daily, posting a photo or video on your account of the daily activity or pose.

4. Tag #selflovingyogis and myself in your post so i can follow along on your journey! 😚

Just a little over a month away for my labor of love to come out! I seriously can't wait to hold onto It with my hands and cry over it! I've gone through so many emotions watching this book come to life, and I can't wait for you all to have it too! In my book Big Gal Yoga - Poses and Practices to Celebrate Your Body and Empower Your Life, I share how everyone of all shapes and sizes can start their own yoga practice though all of the different aspects of yoga using personal stories, affirmations, exercises, a yoga challenge, and yoga routines that can help everyone find empowerment through yoga. Everyone's journey and experiences through yoga are all different, but we all come to the same place wanting to find self acceptance in our lives and bodies. 

How thoughtful of my book to come out July 25, the day after my birthday! Pre-order the book now! Link to where you can buy my book is www.biggalyoga.com ! If you are local or traveling around the SF Bay Area, I will be having a book chat and signing July 29th at Curvy Girl Lingerie ! As well as a yoga class, chat, and book signing August 6th at Be the Change Yoga and Wellness! Info for those events on my website! Hope to see you there! ❣
