Celebrate International Yoga Day 2022 by Joining the Oneness Yoga Challenge with us!
Hosted online by Ekam and in-person in South Africa by Ke Karabo
Welcome to the 7-day free online yoga adventure that your mind, body and soul have been craving! Whether you are brand new to yoga, or you are already well on your yogic path, this is the perfect challenge for you – created with special intention and care to celebrate International Yoga Week 2022.
So, are you up for the Challenge? 😀 Let’s go!
Why should I be a part of this challenge?
Yoga is not just about achieving good health or youthfulness. Yoga emerged from the ancient sages of India, who were seekers of enlightenment. This challenge is focused on unlocking your Chakra Power, to experience ultimate body bliss and open up your body’s mystique.
We have 7 Chakras within our body. The 7 chakras are root chakra, sacral chakra, solar plexus chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra, third eye chakra, and crown chakra. When a chakra is blocked, or out of balance, it can cause many problems within the body. Chakra’s can easily become out of balance through the type of lifestyle that we live each day. Such as experiencing lots of stress (physically or mentally), and personal habits such as poor physical alignment or posture, eating unhealthy food, or self-destructive behavior may cause a chakra to be imbalanced.
It is believed that when all the 7 seven chakras are balanced, it creates a place of harmony for mind, body and the spirit. When they are unblocked, and your energy is flowing with ease within your body, you will feel very tranquil, happy, energetic and blissful. Your body will begin to open to receive many powerful levels of spiritual awakening and deep states of enlightenment on this journey.
Are you ready to experience ultimate body bliss?

What are the benefits of yoga, and why do people love international yoga day?
– Yoga is inclusive
People of all age groups, religions, nationalities and social backgrounds can celebrate, because yoga is accessible to all! There are so many different kinds of yoga practices, so it’s possible for anyone to start. Age and fitness level doesn’t matter — there are modifications for every yoga pose and beginner classes in every style.
– Yoga helps you manage stress
Life can be stressful sometimes, and it can take its toll on our physical bodies. Have back or neck pain, sleeping problems and headaches? Regular yoga practice creates mental clarity, calmness, and relieves chronic stress — which means it’ll help you with all of the above.
– Practicing yoga is very healthy and for everyone
Yoga strengthens and stabilizes the spine, relieving back pain, stress, anxiety and tension. It helps with weight reduction, maintaining a balanced metabolism, builds and tones muscle strength, improves balance, and increases flexibility. And these are only some of its host of benefits.

Here’s the history, how did International Yoga Day start?
In 2014, June 21st was chosen as it is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. This date also holds special significance in countries across the globe.
On June 21, 2015, nearly 36,000 people, including Prime Minister Modi, and many other high-profile political figures from all around the world, performed 21 asanas (yoga postures) for 35 minutes in New Delhi in what was the first International Yoga Day, and the day has been celebrated around the globe ever since.
Every year on June 21st, the International Day of Yoga raises awareness about the benefits of this mind and body practice. It’s also a day to encourage people around the world to engage in Yoga.
The word yoga means to unite, yoke or ‘to join’. This symbolizes the union of body and consciousness, and the philosophy originated in India about 5,000 years ago. One of the original goals of yoga was spiritual growth. Another goal was mastery over the physical and mental body. Today, two billion people around the world practice yoga as a form of exercise, to relieve stress, and create balance and calm within the body, spirit and mind.
Yoga was developed as a way to interconnect the mind, body and soul to step closer into enlightenment. As the practice became popular in the west, it became popularized as an exercise and relaxation method, with claims to help the body’s general well-being, alleviate physical injuries and chronic pain.
Yoga itself is an ancient art that refreshes the mind and soothes the soul. The day aims to encourage new people to adopt the yogi lifestyle and align with their inner chakras.
