Flow Into 2021 With Yoga In The Sweat Challenge

Yoga with Ania

Ania Tippkemper is a yoga instructor based in Dusseldorf, Germany, and she has prepared six exclusive weeks of her unique yoga classes for you to complete, alongside women everywhere, during the Sweat Challenge. You don’t need any equipment except a mat, but if you have a blanket, a bolster or cushion, or a yoga block, you can use these throughout the practice. 

There will be three classes each week, each taking around 30-45 minutes, focusing on the full body, stretching and balance, and dynamic movement. Ania will guide you through the Sweat Challenge and you can follow her and Sweat on social media for motivation and inspiration throughout the six-week challenge. 

For the Sweat Challenge, Yoga with Ania also includes rest days and recommended low-intensity cardio to complement the strength and flexibility classes, and help you to achieve overall health and balance. 

If you want to experience this powerful yoga program before you decide to sign up for Yoga with Ania for the Sweat Challenge, this dynamic yoga class will give you a taste of Ania’s training style. 

Yoga with Phyllicia

Phyllicia Bonanno’s yoga workouts for the Sweat Challenge are perfect if you’re new to practising yoga and want to enjoy a slower flow as you learn yoga technique. 

Phyllicia’s program for the Sweat Challenge includes three yoga flows each week, giving you the time and space to find your position and move with your breath. 

There are rest days included, and low-intensity cardio workouts to help you pursue your best health and fitness. 

Phyllicia, a yoga instructor from New Jersey in the US, will be providing guidance and support throughout the six weeks of the Sweat Challenge. You can follow her, and Sweat, on social media for regular motivation and to connect with the strong community of women sharing the yoga practice with you. 

To get an idea of Phyllicia’s teaching style, this stretch and balance class is accessible for you, right now. Phyllicia provides modifications throughout the class. You don’t need to be flexible to try yoga, just follow her guidance through this gentle practice. 

BAM (Body And Mind) by Sjana

Sjana Elise Earp is Sweat’s Australian yoga instructor. During the six week challenge, her BAM program will guide you through three weekly yoga flows, each taking 28 minutes, to build strength and flexibility. There are yin yoga sessions for recovery, and each week the focus workout will guide you to progress towards the splits. 

Yoga flows in BAM are broken into segments with a short rest between each to allow you to catch your breath and prepare for the next flow. 

Just like the other Sweat programs, there are recommended low-intensity cardio sessions to complement your yoga practice and promote overall health and well being.
