#buildayogaBOOty Instagram Challenge with Chickadee Says!

Hello Darlings!

If you follow Chickadee Says on Facebook or take a peek at the questions I leave at the end of my yoga posts here on the blog, you might have noticed that I love to know what all of you are looking for in terms of yoga. Generally speaking I fashion a “5 Yoga Poses for ________” post in response. However, one of my most requested posts is for poses to shape, lift, and build your yoga booty!

So instead of a single post I thought it would be fun to host a yoga challenge on my Chickadee Says Instagram! For the whole month of October starting the first and ending on Halloween, I will be hosting the 'Build a Yoga BOOty' challenge and will be posting a pose a day that is booty-centric! I am making sure that the challenge is fun for yogis at every level, so everyone from newbies to experts are invited to join!

This outfit is from Fabletics- one of the awesome sponsors!

And while I know challenges even on their own are fun, I thought I would up the ante: prizes are involved! And not just one awesome prize, but three! The lovely folks at Fabletics (you know, that awesome athletic clothing company that is not just stylish but comfortable and affordable- showcased in my Yoga Poses for Lower Back Pain post) are offering two prizes: a $49.95 gift card (that’s a whole outfit!) and a gym bag full of their awesome accessories. My new company The Spiral Collective (stay tuned for more details coming October first!) is also offering one of our wellness kits, chock full of handmade and locally sourced holistic health goodies!

Here’s how it works:

1. Starting the day before I will be posting each day’s pose at 9pm to inspire your pose for the next day. 
2. After you practice, snap a picture or a video of you on your mat (or your floor, or the dirt, or your desk- I love creative pictures!). 
3. Upload your picture or video to Instagram using the hashtag #buildayogaBOOty (look at me being all Halloween-y) and tag myself (@ChickadeeSays) and your hosts @Fabletics and @TheSpiralCollective.
4. You can post every day for more chances to win!
5. Each entry will be assigned a number and winners will be chosen randomly!

So, breakdown on those boring things called rules and eligibility:

1. Follow  your host (me!) Chickadee Says on Instagram.
2. Follow the sponsors: Fabletics and The Spiral Collective.
3. Post your best version of your pose- this is NOT a competition; remember yoga is all about            connecting with yourself in both mind and body. Post the pose that makes you happy!
4. Tag each of your posts with #buildayogaBOOty, @chickadeesays, @fabletics, and @thespiralcollective.
5. USA only please.
6. If you miss a day, no worries! You can join the challenge and catch up at any time!
