Most people initially think that yoga is ‘woowoo’ and only for ‘spirit seekers’.
But I want to bust that myth as I believe that yoga is for everyone.
So what I am most passionate about, is just that. To make yoga accessible & relatable (and did I mention fun?) for all.
I really believe that this magical practise can help everyone to slow the hell down, find clarity, sharpen their focus, make clear confident decisions and create more space and time each day to do what makes their heart sing.
I attended my first ever yoga class over 10 years ago, at the local gym. I couldn’t touch my toes and burst out laughing when the teacher chanted OM. It was wonderful and I returned every week.

Every day I will send you an email which includes a recorded 20-30 minute Yoga class.
You can do the class whenever you like, a time that works for you and your daily schedule (if you have kids get them involved too, they absolutely love it!)
We will start slow and steady (great for beginners don’t worry) and we’ll build momentum as we move through the weeks.
Some classes will get the heart rate going, some will be slower and ‘stretchier’ and some will be oh-so relaxing and restorative that you may even fall asleep 😉
I will be your guide and your biggest cheerleader as I support you on this journey to physical, mental and emotional health.
Oh and I promise it will be light and fun.

Naturally, we all have questions, so here are the A’s to your Q’s.
Your burning question isn’t listed below? Then email me at info@susiehemsted.com 🙂
Q: I am a total Beginner. Can I join the challenge?
Sure! We will start slow and steady at the start of the challenge as I break down some of the foundational poses and ‘need to knows’ so you feel confident in every class.
Q: I have been practising yoga for years, is this challenge suitable for me?
There is so much power in going back to the basics and building your practise from the foundations up. I am still learning new things from going to foundations classes after 10 years. This Challenge is also a beautiful way to carve out 30 mins a day for your self care practise and to commit to YOU.
Q: I am already so busy, will I be able to fit this into my day?
I have designed this challenge to be sustainable and pocket sized to fit into your day. Each session is 20-30 minutes from start to finish. The added bonus? There is no travel to a yoga studio required, so you can simply roll out your mat at home and be done and dusted in 30 mins tops!
Q: I am worried about doing yoga every day for 21 days. Can I miss a day?
No problem at all. Just a reminder that on some days, I will be teaching a very gentle ‘yin’ practise, which is a few simple stretches (i.e. not active at all) if you need some rest.
Q: Will I have access to the videos after the challenge?
Yes. I will create a special ‘library’ for you with a password, so you will have access to 21 yoga classes for life 🙂
Q: What kind of yoga will this be?
I love variety, so every day will be slightly different. There will be strong practises, very slow practices & restorative practises. It’s so important to me to show you the variety of the yoga world!
Q: What do I need?
You’ll need a yoga mat and 2 blocks (or 2 thick books)
