Awaken: 40 Days of Yoga

Opening Gathering: Thursday, January 1st, 2026 | 2:00–3:30 PM PST with Ryan & Dani (Online)

Something inside you said “Yes!” to 40 days of yoga, and we are thrilled to begin this journey together. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner, re-discovering yoga, or exploring it for the first time, Awaken is designed to nourish, challenge, and guide you toward greater presence, mindfulness, and awareness.

This year, our focus is awakening through the elements. Each week, we’ll explore a new element as a lens for self-inquiry and growth, cultivating deeper connection to your body, mind, and spirit. Think of it as a gift to yourself—a chance to release what no longer serves you and embrace practices that help you feel alive, grounded, and fully present.

Welcome to the Portal

Our online portal is your hub for the entire 40 Days. Inside, you’ll find:

  • Links to register for weekly classes and workshops

  • An on-demand library of classes from our incredible global community of teachers

  • The 40-Day Companion Guide to support your daily practice

Weekly updates (every Monday) include:

  • A playlist curated by our teachers to accompany your practices

  • On-demand classes from the previous week

  • Thoughtful prompts and inquiries to reflect on

  • Recordings of the weekly workshop if you miss it live

Make a note to check the portal each week—it’s your toolkit for a transformative 40 Days.
