Pause and Breathe in August
|
🌞 30-Day “Pause + Breathe” Challenge
Because when the heat rises, our nervous system doesn’t need to.
This August, we’re inviting you to practice a different kind of strength — the ability to pause in the middle of the chaos and just breathe.
🔔 Option 1: The Bell Challenge
Inspired by the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, this version is simple and powerful:
-
Set a soft, beautiful bell or chime to go off once per hour on your phone or watch.
-
When it rings, stop for 1 minute — just inhale, exhale, and be.
-
Do this daily for 30 days and post about your experience on Instagram or Facebook.
(You can share once a day or every few days — whatever feels good!)
🌿 Option 2: The Relaxation Drop-In
Don’t want to use a timer? Try this approach instead:
Every day, for 30 days, intentionally take a moment to relax.
It could be lying down, stepping away from your desk, closing your eyes in your car, or even taking 3 deep breaths between tasks. No rules, just presence.
Then post about it, tag us, and inspire others to slow down too.
🎁 Prizes + How to Enter
At the end of the month, we’ll put everyone who participated and posted into a prize drawing. The more posts, the more entries!
✅ Must tag @ElevateYogaCenter (in a post — stories disappear and we won’t be able to count them).
This is about building a practice of rest, one breath at a time.
Let’s see what happens when we stop doing so much... and start being.
Infinite love and gratitude,
Namaste,
Your Elevate Family
