How the Ashtanga Challenge Works

This Challenge includes 20 consecutive lessons spread over 4 weeks, with a rest day every 5 days. You can adjust the pace if needed, as long as you maintain steady consistency.

Your 20-Day Journey

Over the next 20 days, you’ll build strength, flexibility, and—most importantly—the discipline and inner focus that makes Ashtanga so transformative. By the end, you’ll have a foundation for a sustainable practice that can continue to grow long beyond these 20 days.

Each week, you’ll be guided progressively through different stages of the Ashtanga sequence. At first, your daily practice may be brief: about 10 minutes of Sun Salutations and a short rest. As you learn new poses, your practice time will naturally expand. By the end of the Challenge, most students practice 50–60 minutes per day.

You’ll also notice that your body and mind feel different from day to day. Some days will feel light and easy; others will feel heavy or distracted. This is completely normal. The key isn’t to push harder—it’s to stay present. Focus on quality of movement, breath, and attention rather than speed or quantity. This steady, mindful repetition is how Ashtanga becomes meditative.

Each day of the Challenge focuses on one Ashtanga pose, including:

• the vinyasa count
• key alignment points
• functional benefits
• practical tips to help you evolve your practice
