Two challenges. Two different intentions. One Yogi Institute community.
Choose the experience that speaks to you — or join us for both.
Awaken to Joy
A 40-Day Kundalini Sadhana
September 1 through October 10
$44 one-time
40 consecutive days of livestream Kundalini Sadhana + community experience
What does joy feel like to you?
Not what makes you happy.
Not what you think joy should look like.
But what does joy actually feel like — in your body, mind, emotions and spirit?
Awaken to Joy is a 40-day livestream Kundalini Sadhana devoted to exploring that question together.
For 40 consecutive mornings, we'll meet to move, breathe, meditate and create intentional space for joy, possibility and connection.
Not with the expectation that we will feel joyful every morning.
But with the intention of creating a space where joy is welcome.
Why Joy?
There is a lot of heaviness in the human experience.
Personally. Collectively. Physically. Emotionally. Energetically.
This practice isn't about pretending otherwise.
It's not about positive thinking or using spirituality to avoid what hurts.
Instead, we're asking:
Even when life is heavy, am I creating space for joy?
Joy is fascinating because it doesn't have one expression.
Sometimes joy is laughter.
Sometimes it's movement, music or freedom in the body.
Sometimes it arrives through tears.
Sometimes it's quiet.
Sometimes it's expansive.
Sometimes it completely surprises us.
And sometimes we create the space and joy doesn't arrive at all.
All of it belongs.
40 Days of Exploration
Our Kundalini practice will remain intentionally consistent throughout the 40 days, with small variations and a progression of exploration around joy.
Rather than constantly searching for the next experience, we'll return to the practice again and again — allowing repetition to take us deeper into our own experience.
Our inquiry remains:
What does joy feel like to me today?
We're not practicing to manufacture a particular feeling.
We're practicing with intention, without expectation.
Through consistency, community and curiosity, we'll explore how joy moves through the physical body, mind, emotions, expression and spirit.
Why 40 Consecutive Days?
Sadhana is connection.
And there is something powerful about choosing to return to practice every single day.
Some mornings you may feel inspired.
Some mornings you may feel resistant.
Some practices may feel profound.
Others may feel completely ordinary.
We keep showing up.
Not because intensity creates transformation, but because consistency gives us the opportunity to notice what we might otherwise miss.
And we won't do it alone.
We'll meet live every morning, practice together and have opportunities to stay, share, listen and connect with the community.
This Journey Is For You If...
You feel curious about Kundalini Yoga.
You have practiced Kundalini before and want to deepen your experience.
You are craving consistency and spiritual connection.
You want to explore joy beyond the idea of simply "being happy."
You want to become more curious about your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual experience.
Or perhaps life simply feels heavy right now, and something inside you is saying:
I'd like to make a little more room for joy.
You don't need to know what you'll discover.
Neither do I.
That's part of the practice.
An Intimate Relationship With Joy
My hope isn't that you finish these 40 days knowing how to be joyful all the time.
Life will still be life.
My hope is that you leave knowing your joy a little better.
How it moves.
How it expresses itself.
Where you feel it.
What opens you to it.
What surprises you.
And what happens within you when you intentionally make space for its possibility.
Perhaps our spirits flourish in moments of joy because, for just a moment, the human and spiritual experience aren't separate.
They're dancing together.
For 40 mornings, let's create space for that dance.
40 Days. One Daily Practice. An Exploration of Joy.

Awaken Your Wellness
4th Annual 30-Day Yoga Challenge
September 1-30
$34/month Yogi Institute Membership
[Learn More ↓]
What could change if you gave yourself 30 minutes a day for 30 days?
Awaken Your Wellness is an invitation to make one simple commitment:
Show up for your wellbeing every day for 30 days.
Not perfectly. Not intensely. Consistently.
Throughout September, you'll explore a balanced schedule of Vinyasa, Strength, Restore, Yin and restorative practices designed to help you move more freely, build strength, reduce stress and experience what happens when yoga becomes part of your everyday life.
The goal isn't to become more flexible, master a posture or completely overhaul your routine.
The goal is to experience what it feels like to make a commitment to yourself — and keep returning to it.
Your 30-Day Practice
Each day, dedicate at least 30 minutes to your yoga practice.
Join us live when you can or practice on your own schedule through the Yogi Institute App.
Throughout the week we'll explore different ways of supporting our wellbeing:
Vinyasa to move and energize.
Strength to build resilience and confidence.
Restore + Yin to slow down, release and receive.
Sunday Integration to rest, reflect and reconnect.
This isn't about pushing your body every day.
It's about discovering that wellness can include strength and softness, movement and rest, effort and recovery.
This Challenge Is For You If...
You want to:
Build or rebuild a consistent yoga practice
Feel stronger and more mobile
Create intentional time for yourself
Experience different styles of yoga
Reduce stress and bring more balance into your days
Practice alongside a supportive community
Discover what 30 minutes of daily yoga can actually do for you
You don't need to be experienced, flexible or "good at yoga."
You simply need to be willing to show up.
Consistency Over Intensity
There will probably be days when practice feels wonderful.
There may also be days when 30 minutes feels like a very real commitment.
That's part of the journey.
Awaken Your Wellness isn't about proving that you can practice perfectly for 30 days. It's about developing a relationship with consistency — learning how to return to yourself again and again.
Thirty days from now, my hope is that you don't simply say:
"I completed a yoga challenge."
I hope you can say:
"I made a commitment to my wellbeing, and I showed up for myself."
30 Days. 30 Minutes a Day. One Commitment to Yourself.
