The greatest achievement is selflessness.  The greatest worth is self-mastery.  The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.  The greatest precept is continual awareness.  The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything.  The greatest magic is transmuting the passions.  The greatest generosity is non-attachment.  The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.  The greatest patience is humility.  The greatest effort is not concerned with results.  The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go.  The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances. The greatest action is not conforming with the world’s ways.

~ Atisha

Here is what you’ll need to do:

Post your picture of the day on tumblr and tag #positivesummer (you also can tag us: #yogini-dreams and #yogipeach).

Tell us something positive that happened or will happen on that day. It doesn’t need to be a huge thing, it can be about yourself, others, something you saw, the weather, your pets, anything!

Now the most important thing of all! Do not judge yourself and/or compare yourself to others! We’re all different people with different bodies. This is a beginners challenge, therefore, you should have fun, breathe and smile! It’s okay if you fall, laugh about it! Don’t push yourself to the point you’re in pain, that’s not the point of the challenge! If there is a pose you can’t do, just take a picture of whatever you want!

If you have any doubt you’re more than welcome to our inboxes, just ask and we will try to help you as much as we can!

Do not force any pose, do not hurt yourself! Yoga helps you know your body from head to toe, no one will judge you if you can’t do it and you shouldn’t either. Breathe and do your best and most important, smile and have fun.

Savannah and I wish you the best practice and summer of your life.
