"1 hour of yoga...did my first headstand in the middle of the room (look ma! no wall!) for a few seconds with my teachers help...I was very wobbly, but hope to continue to work on that. Then 1 hour of muy thai...we took body shots...damn my ribs are a little sore...I sure learned quick how to block punches!!" ~ Gina C., Marvelous May Challenge

"First post-Bikina workout of the week. Interesting to see what is sore this time around- hamstrings and triceps and abs- oh my! I cannot figure out what time I can go to the gym and not be bothered by other people. Who are all of these people working out at 9:30am? Shouldn't you people be at work? Wednesdays are MY late day at work- it shouldn't be yours! Get off my machine!"

"I completed a circuit workout today (that I designed myself - yay!) that incorporated cardio and strength moves (esp. moves that worked the glutes, shoulders, chest, and core). Talk about a sweat! I thought it was raining in my house!"

Yogis! Every month since January, we've run this 21-Day Yoga Challenge. As we head into the summer, we see no reason to stop the fun now! So, if you didn't quite find your groove last month, or you want to keep your winning streak going, join us for the sixth 21-Day Yoga Challenge in June!
The goals are simple and the same: we're just tracking yoga practices and meditation. Of course, you are welcome to add other healthy practices, like eating vegetarian meals, as you see fit. And don't be shy about telling us!
Ten days and counting...
Day. Twenty. One. Hooray! Just one quiet Monday left in our challenge, i.e. TODAY, and it's all yours for a great practice and deep meditation. Make it count. Next stop, the big challenge wrap up, and virtual celebration....

CHALLENGE TIP:
If you ever need an extra boost of inspiration to get on your mat, consider this: Just 20 minutes of yoga a day can actually change your genes. Scientists have found that stress-related genes change behavior in the face of the relaxation response, which is invoked during yoga and other meditative techniques.
"Run like the wind..... :-) 6-miles this morning!! Look for me at the Preakness tomorrow...I'll be the one in the hat! :-) Seriously - I'll be there (puttin' my money on Bodemeister and jockey Mike Smith!!) Check out the goggles that my hubby makes for the jockeys. So cool!!"

Yogis! Every month since January we have run a 21-day challenge. The challenge remains the same each month, much like a set series of yoga poses, but our performance varies. One month may be a disaster, while the next a triumph. The monthly challenge is a way to watch yourself over time, to see how life pushes you onto, or off of, the mat. It's nice to hit the 21 day goal, yes, but perhaps more important simply to keep track of yourself, to observe your ups and downs. We're happy to say that this month has been solid across the board: Together we've logged 8,971 minutes of mediation, and over 1,100 yoga practices. Nice work!
Amazingly, there are now just three days left in the May challenge. Wherever you are, now is the time breathe deep and make 'em count! To nudge you along, Yoga Journal is once again offering a superfine YJ water bottle, calendar, and a DVD to the challenger who goes the furthest in this month's challenge. Nothing wrong with external rewards to complement the internal!
SO, the challenge ends Monday and we'll give you through Tuesday to file any catch-up posts. On Wednesday, we'll make the big announcement in a virtual awards ceremony, and offer congratulations all around. And then it's on to JUNE!
Best,
Social Workout and Yoga Journal
