Long(er) Resets
Sink deeper into the benefits of using yoga. If you’ve felt what a difference just 5–10 minutes of yoga makes — you’ll be amazed by how much you can do by extending that, while still spending less than half the time you’d have to spend in a studio class. Use this week to go long on your mat, every day’s video will be between :20 and :34 minutes.
Remember you can download your own free A4Y Practice Plan to plan a full month. Share your favorite Long Reset with #athletesforyoga.
