October 2015: Yoga A Day Challenge

Editor’s Note (Updated 2025):
Originally published in October 2015, this post captures my first complete Yoga A Day challenge and my early adventures in learning to love my body — sore muscles and all. I’ve left it as-is for nostalgia and progress-tracking purposes.

This was a fun exercise in “Hate to Love My Body”. I loved this Yoga A Day Challenge but hated the sore muscles afterward. I’m pretty sure I can feel my abs now. I can’t see them but I’m 90% certain they’re bulked up.

I found the Grow Soul Beautiful October challenge on Instagram and decided to give it a shot. I didn’t think I would manage to do all them but they start off fairly easy and I was thoroughly stretched out by the time the tougher asanas (poses) came up.

I started the 30-day yoga challenge on Do You Yoga.

I planned to restart my yoga practice at the beginning of August (Birthday Goals) and I only lasted a week… this October was round 2!
