Yoga for Everyday Life

Somewhere between the school run, the shopping list, the extra events and the everyday demands of just... life, self-care has a habit of quietly disappearing. You tell yourself you'll get to it. Eventually. Probably in January.

But your body doesn't wait for a quieter week. The aches in your back, the stiffness in your shoulders, the twinge when you bend to load the dishwasher or climb the stairs one more time. These are everyday things, and they deserve everyday care, not a New Year's resolution. And the thing is, the small stuff we ignore now has a habit of becoming the bigger stuff over time - the stiffness that doesn't quite shift, the twinge that starts happening more and more. Starting now is a lot easier than trying to undo months of "I'll start on Monday..."

That's what the Yoga for Everyday Life Advent Calendar is here for. Twenty-four days, twenty-four short practices, each one built around the real movements of your day i.e. reaching, bending, carrying, standing, climbing. So that you can build the strength and ease to keep doing them well, this year and for many years to come.

A few minutes a day is all you need to start easing stress, calming your mind and giving your body the attention it's been waiting for.

What's Included in the Yoga Advent Calendar:

• 24 short practices all for just £15 (Fat Frog Family membership gets free access)

• Pre-recorded videos of under 20 minutes

• A mix of mat-based and chair-based yoga so you can choose what suits you best

• A balanced mix of practices for your back, shoulders, wrists and neck, alongside real-life movement like stairs, bending, reaching and caregiving

• Playful, themed classes that bring joy as well as ease

• Mindfulness practices to ease stress and quiet the mental chatter

• Daily guidance straight to your inbox

Made for You, Wherever You're Starting From

Whether you're brand new to yoga or have been practising for years, this calendar meets you exactly where you are.

Especially made with anyone in their 40s and beyond in mind, because this is often the age we start paying closer attention to staying strong, mobile and capable. Not just for today but for the years ahead. But you don't need to be dealing with stiffness or struggling with anything to benefit. Every practice works just as well if you're already fit and active and simply want to move better, prevent problems before they start and keep your body strong as time goes on.

And if life is genuinely busy, most of ours are, that's exactly why these practices are short. A few minutes a day is all it takes to give you body the attention it deserves, whatever stage of life or fitness you're at.

How the Yoga Challenge Supports You:

• Functional flexibility - moving with more ease in everyday life

• Strength and stability - supporting your body through the festive season (and beyond)

• Mobility - unlocking tight areas and creating freedom of movement

• Stress relief - breathing space in the middle of December chaos

• Clarity of mind - building habits that support mental wellbeing

Why Start Before the New Year?

So many people wait until January to "start afresh". But December is the perfect time to create change, and everyday life doesn't pause for the holidays, so why should your self-care? By committing to a short daily practice now, you'll have built the habit before the New Year begins.

By Christmas Eve, you could be moving around the kitchen, keeping up with the (grand) kids and bending down to pick things up with less effort, and feeling stronger and calmer in both body and mind. Ready to step into the holidays (and the year ahead) with greater ease.
