Day 2 - 2-Week Grounding and Gratitude Challenge

Day 2 - 2-Week Grounding and Gratitude Challenge

Welcome to Day 2 of our 2-Week Grounding and Gratitude Challenge!

Tuesday, November 12th

Today’s classes offer you a choice: a calming slow flow suitable for all levels, or a more invigorating vinyasa flow if you’re ready to bring up the energy. Both options are designed to help you tune into your breath and deepen your practice, whether you’re focusing on mindful movement or building heat and strength.

Choose the pace that feels right for you today, and embrace the grounding power of being fully present in each pose.

Enjoy your practice, and remember to check in with a comment afterward to enter for a chance at one of our prize packages!
 

**IMPORTANT** - remember, you will need a free account on YogaDownload to access the free challenge classes. The free account doesn't commit you to any future obligation whatsoever. Please be sure to quickly create one now if you don't have one already. 
 


Slow Flow: Grace & Ease with Jackie Casal Mahrou

40 min class

Level:  All Levels | Intensity: Everyday Namaste

This slow paced vinyasa class will help you embody presence and grace through gentle mindful flow and breath. You will flow through slow and adaptive Sun Salutations A & B, practice balancing postures, then wind down with grounding postures and a hip opener. Take this time to tune inward and tap into grace. Enjoy!


Practice Not Perfect Vinyasa Flow with Claire Petretti Marti

35 min class

Level: Intermediate | Intensity: You'll Feel It

Perfect is boring! There is no perfect pose or practice. This Vinyasa flow practice will help you release attachment to outcome and settle into the strength and softness of YOUR body, mind, and heart. You'll flow through an invigorating combination of twists and balances and play with Crow pose, if you want. Let go of of judgment and choose the joy of feeling fully present. Enjoy!


**you only need to choose one class**

**If you're feeling in the mood for something different you can choose any of our free classes on our site (or any other class you'd like!). The most important thing is to show up and get on your mat!

Fitted in Jackie’s slow flow at the end of the day, and it couldn’t have been a better decision.

40 minutes with Jackie’s “Slow Flow” went by so quickly! Wish I could practice under Colorado sunshine…

Avatar  Desyree 3 hours ago

`Practice not perfect was a powerful flow! Great poses and transitions. And I am proud of myself for being able to hold crow for almost the entire time (have been trying for years and this was the first time I was able to hold for that long)! Thanks, yoga download!

Jackie class was perfect way to end the day. Thank you!

Claire really hopped right into the flow in Practice Not Perfect. I enjoyed the bind in skandasana and had not seen that before. Good energetic class!

Loved slow flow. Exactly what I needed

Avatar  JemmaRose 5 hours ago

I did Jackie’s class tonight. It was a lovely slow flow that felt nice to do at the end of a long day. I loved the bird sounds. Good night!

Avatar  Elizabeth 5 hours ago

Jackie's Slow Flow is just what the doctor ordered tonight! I love the added sounds of nature and the beauty of the Colorado Hills instead of the classic yoga studio! Thank you so much for such a centered practice before bed!

Avatar  Kathy 5 hours ago

I chose Claire's Practice Not Perfect class tonight and it was just what I needed. The perfect amount of challenge. She's one of my favorite instructors and this class didn't disappoint!

Avatar  Amy 6 hours ago

I opted for Jackie’s Slow Flow class this evening. A wonderful physical and mental reminder to get out of my own way after a hectic day at work. It felt great and I loved that she held the session outside. Even virtually it was healing.

Avatar  iwritecreate 6 hours ago

I'm having a difficult time at home but I am so glad I stay committed and showed up for today's class! Jackie's slow flow helped me take my mind off of some things for a bit.

Avatar  Jennifer 6 hours ago

I always love Jackie's classes, and tonight's Slow Flow: Grace and Ease was a wonderful way to wind down after a long day at work. Found peace on my mat this evening. Again, so grateful for @yogadownload' s challenges and the community that joins together here!

I loved Jackie's Slow Flow. It replaced me and got me ready for a good night's rest.

Avatar  Callye 6 hours ago

For today I chose Claire's Practice Not Perfect Vinyasa Flow. It was challenging! Man do I need this challenge!

Avatar  Bek S 7 hours ago

After a lot of frustrations lately, Jackie's Slow Flow class was a really nice way to wind down this evening. The little bit of heat kept me from feeling lazy & the relaxed, slow flow helped loosen things up. Really needed this class tonight. Thank you!

Avatar  Linda 7 hours ago

I always enjoy Jackie's classes so I decided to give her Slow Flow a try even though I tend to like faster paced yoga. It was great to take some time and stretch after a hard class yesterday and I wasn't bored at all!

Avatar  lauren.k 7 hours ago

Really enjoyed the “Practice Not Perfect” class as an opportunity to focus on where I am in my practice and how I can grow from here. ❤️

Avatar  Sabrina Reynolds 7 hours ago

Thank you Jackie for an amazing slow flow. It was wonderful and a much needed slow down after a busy and stressful day and weekend. Namaste 🧘🏻‍♀️

Avatar  Valerie 7 hours ago

Practice Not Perfect - I appreciated the opportunity to get back into a longer, more challenging yoga practice after mostly taking it easy for the past year!

Avatar  Mia Stranberg 7 hours ago

This yoga flow is just what I needed to get stubborn aches out of my legs & lower back and find my center again!

Avatar  haleymarie 8 hours ago

Jackie's slow flow was just what I needed today. The intention of slowing down really helped my mind to settle and the stretches felt so juicy. Feeling lighter after that class.

Avatar  Katie 8 hours ago

Today is my late grandmother's birthday, and it felt appropriate to honor her memory with a class geared toward embodying Grace and Ease - two words I would have used to describe her. As always, Jackie's class did not disappoint, and left my feeling more grounded and lighter in my body and mind. Namaste <3

Avatar  Terry 8 hours ago

Really enjoyed taking Jackie’s class today. Her calm voice and tempo was perfect for a slow flow class. Exactly what my body and mind needed. Thank you Jackie 🙏🏻

Avatar  Susan Wong 9 hours ago

I took Claire’s class and really enjoyed it. The practice not too long and not too short; just tight for my morning practice. Claire is a good teacher with clear cues and a variety of poses in this class which is challenging but doable. Thanks.

Avatar  Jennie 10 hours ago

I practiced after work today so I opted for Jackie's Slow Flow class. It was a nice way to stretch and move without being too tiring after work.

Avatar  Erin 10 hours ago

I chose Jackie’s Slow Flow today. Love all of her classes!

Avatar  Carrie 12 hours ago

It was Slow Flow and grace this morning for me. I modified as needed!

Avatar  beer 13 hours ago

Great practice….day two done 35 minutes with Claire

Avatar  LP 13 hours ago

We didn't have much time this morning so opted for a slightly shorter class, but will save both of these for later!

Avatar  Andie 14 hours ago

Tough choice today as I enjoy both instructors! Claire’s class was a perfect stretch after a short run this morning.
See you tomorrow 🙏🏼

Avatar  Molly Hicks 14 hours ago

I took Jackie’s class between work meetings this morning, and I loved it, as always! I’m super tired today so this vinyaysa style class was just what I needed to get rejuvenated!

Avatar  Rebecca 14 hours ago

I took slow flow with Jackie & because I’m returning after quite a long time away from yoga, it was challenging. I made it through though! I’m happy to be back into yoga & I really hope it sticks. I forgot to mention yesterday… I’m joining from WI

Avatar  Mimi 14 hours ago

Slow flow with Jackie for me today. Perfect stretches and way to bring me into the present. Om shanti.

Avatar  Yogayoung 15 hours ago

Jackie's classes are always just right! Great way to get ready for the day ahead.

Avatar  Mindy 16 hours ago

Claire’s class was great this morning. I loved the eagle arms, airplane legs challenge! I’m also feeling sore from yesterday’s practice (in a good way!).

Avatar  Baynicole 16 hours ago

I went with Claires Practice Not Perfect Vinyasa Flow! It was amazing and I feel absolutely great afterwards! Thanks so much!

Avatar  ponttingley 17 hours ago

I woke up feeling under the weather today. Normally I would have skipped my morning practice but the challenge motivated me to push through. Jackie’s class was great for me in these conditions.

Avatar  Debbie 17 hours ago

Wonderful morning flow.

Avatar  Trice 17 hours ago

Did Jackie’s and it was a wonderful
Calm way to start my day. She is a favorite of mine and she did not disappoint.

Avatar  Joinaz 18 hours ago

2 of my favorite instructors, did Jackie's class which I have done before and it is great, such a beautiful setting. I will put Claire's on my list of classes to try in the future.

Avatar  Vanessa Watkins Dumont 18 hours ago

LOVED IT! I loved the flow and the voice of instructions. I will definitely use this in my classes!

Avatar  sarah s 19 hours ago

Timing of this could not be better for me. I’ve recently recovered from an injury that kept me off the mat for years. Great to be back!

Avatar  Dar241 20 hours ago

I went with Claire's class this morning. A bit of a challenge for me, but it was worth it! My last crow pose was many years ago, so that one I had to pass on! As promised, all areas were worked and I am glad I chose this class today!

Avatar  Andrea Ward 20 hours ago

I love Jackie’s slow flow. It was exactly what I needed this morning. Thank for a great class.

Avatar  Vicky 21 hours ago

Slow flow with Jackie is a perfect blend of flowing, relaxing and stretching. My bodies needs a good stretch but I also desire a work on my body. This flow did just the experience.
