21 in 31
This is a challenge we run every October, and it’s loads of fun!
We challenge you to complete 21 classes in the 31 days of October. Only TVO classes count! But all forms count: In-Studio, LIVEstream, The Virtual Om, and Specialty Classes count. We provide a tracking board (with star stickers) in the studio and a virtual tracking board that can be accessed on the Member Page that we create for the occasion.
While attempting to meet the goal of 21 classes is a fun target, it is a mere vehicle to explore deeper content and new experiences. We pick a theme every year, usually around yogic philosophy or personal growth, which we organize in a comprehensive manner throughout the month. We provide media, information, relevant supplies, plenty of SWAG, and even have a closing ceremony to wrap up the adventure.
The 21 in 31 experience has been known to breed a great sense of community and connection, rather than competition. Keep your eyes peeled in late August and Early September to see what this year’s theme will be and sign up!
The 108
The 108 is a free community journey designed to deepen your yoga practice with intention, consistency, and connection. As you move through 108 qualifying classes, you’ll receive guidance, monthly inspiration, and the support of both a dedicated guide and a community of fellow participants. There is no timeline to complete your journey – just an invitation to grow your practice, one class at a time.
For 108 is for those committing more intently to their practice and taking time to dive more deeply into what yoga means to you. It is for like-minded individuals to connect with and support one another.
Perks
- You will receive a newsletter at the beginning of every month, which is full of content – information, insights, media, prompts to chew on and enrich your journey.
- The opportunity to book a 60-minute Private Yoga Session with your guide for FREE, once you cross the halfway point of your 108 count.
- You will also be invited to partake in a designated 108 WhatsApp chat to connect with other journeyers.
Process
- This is a free program to take part in, which does not require any specific membership status
- The first step is to fill out the Intention Form which provides us a better understanding of your motivations and goals to assist and support you more specifically.
- You will then be paired with a “guide” whose responsibilities are:
- To keep count for you (classes that count are those completed in-studio or through LIVEstream, Specialty Classes, and those taken via The Virtual Om during October ONLY for those who are participating in the 21 in 31 challenge). Classes that do NOT count are those taken in other yoga studios, via The Virtual Om (except during October for those who are participating in the 21 in 31 challenge), or through another online platform.
- Be an open line of communication for you to bounce any ideas off of, discuss areas of interest or concern, and ask questions along the way.
- There is no timeline that you will be held to. You can take as long as you like, although some folks like to choose a milestone or special date to add more accountability.
Beyond the 108
Rather than having a 1:1 guide like in the 108, Beyonders support one another, overseen and supported by a lead guide, a TVO teacher with a wealth of knowledge and experience.
As Beyonders, you are responsible for your own class count and are welcome to share in a specific Beyond 108 WhatsApp chat.
You will get opportunities for deeper self-study (svadyaya) and a more intimate community (kula).
You will still receive the monthly 108 emails and are welcome to contribute in the current 108 WhatsApp chat if you wish.
