I’ve done a lot of yoga at home, recently. While I don’t get the feedback of an amazing instructor, it’s a great alternative when I don’t have the time, money, or the extroverted energy to be out in the world.
And while every beginner’s yoga class I’ve tried is incredibly welcoming and fun, I understand it’s often easier to first try yoga in the privacy of your home. (Here’s my anxious person’s guide to trying yoga, maybe.)
Whether you are a beginner or just want some time at home, here are four 30-day yoga challenges available for free online. Launch into 2017 with some yoga!
30 Day Yoga Challenges to Jumpstart 2017
Yoga for Beginners – 30 Day Challenge
This 30 day challenge for beginners is filled with basic poses with lots of instruction, giving you the foundation for more advanced videos or confidence when you first step into a yoga studio. Here’s Day 1.
I love how all the video titles start with the time-length, so you know how much time you need to set aside that day.
In a written introduction, Leslie talks about how she got started in yoga:
Before yoga, my head would never shut up! I felt anxious and uncomfortable. I stressed about the future and regretted the past. I was wound so tightly, took myself way too seriously and carried the weight of the world on my shoulders. I hardly ever laughed. Morning yoga taught me to breathe, to connect and to find space.
30 Days of Yoga with Adriene
I love Adriene’s fun personality. Just when you start to think you’re not cut out of this yoga thing, she cracks a joke and you realize you don’t have to take it so seriously.
This challenge goes through different styles of yoga, so it becomes an interesting adventure for yogis of all levels. (And if you’ve already completed this 30 day challenge, she has a 2nd one – Yoga Camp).
Men’s 30 Day Yoga Challenge
This free challenge is available through DoYouYoga.com. This guy is a fun character and the first video is available on YouTube.
They market the challenge to athletes, couch potatoes, and anyone in between. He simultaneously teaches foundations like breathing and sun salutations and provides ways to push your athletic edge – similar to Broga inspired classes I’ve attended.
Bad Yogi’s 30 Day Yoga Challenge
Originally on DoYouYoga.com, Erin Motz has gotten ownership of her videos and has reposted them on her own channel.
The challenge is primarily vinyasa (or flowing) yoga with a different focus each day. For example, Day 4 is core work and Day 24 is a no-sweat morning sequence. It’s an all-levels challenge, but doesn’t really focus on beginners. For Intermediates, I think it’s a fun challenge with days to play with crow, headstand, and splits.

A federal judge has ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father from the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, according to a ruling obtained by CNN.

Liam and his father, Adrian, were taken by immigration agents from his snowy suburban Minneapolis driveway and sent 1,300 miles to a Texas detention facility designed to detain families. They have been detained for more than a week.

The order specifies the preschooler and his father be released “as soon as practicable” and no later than Tuesday as their immigration case proceeds through the court system. The ruling, shared with CNN by the judge’s courtroom deputy, was first reported by the San Antonio Express-News.
“We are now working closely with our clients and their family to ensure a safe and timely reunion,” the family’s lawyers said in a Saturday statement. “We are pleased that the family will now be able to focus on being together and finding some peace after this traumatic ordeal.”

In a scathing opinion, which at times read more like a civics lesson, US District Judge Fred Biery admonished “the government’s ignorance of an American historical document called the Declaration of Independence” and quoted Thomas Jefferson’s grievances against “a would-be authoritarian king,” saying today people “are hearing echos of that history.”

Liam’s detention – and the striking photo of an agent clutching the boy’s Spider-Man backpack as he stared from under a cartoon bunny hat – fed mounting outrage over the Trump administration’s massive immigration crackdown in Minneapolis and renewed the question: What happens to children when their parents are abruptly taken by ICE?
In another diversion from the norms of judicial writing, the judge included the now famous image of Liam at the end of his opinion, under his signature, along with references to the Bible passages Matthew 19:14 and John 11:35.
Liam’s case, Biery wrote, originated in “the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children.”
“Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency,” wrote the judge. “And the rule of law be damned.”
