The Purpose of the Fresh Start Challenge

The Fresh Start Challenge encourages you to step out of your comfort zone and into a space of curiosity and growth with the Fresh Coast Yoga community.

We get it - yoga can feel intimidating sometimes. Maybe you’ve taken classes before but haven’t found your fit. Maybe your practice has been on pause since 2020 and you’re nervous to dust off your mat and start flowing. Or maybe you’ve always wanted to try a community yoga class, but haven’t been confident enough to take that first, in-studio, step. We’ve been there too.

At Fresh Coast, we believe that time spent on your mat is an opportunity for growth, no matter where you’re starting from. We’re talking both the “I want to touch my toes” kind of growth, and the growth that teaches us to be compassionate, patient, and content throughout the process. We also believe that time spent doing yoga in community with other curious and brave humans fosters connections and helps create a sense of belonging. And connection and belonging just happen to be major mental health boosters. We’re SO here for that.

Whatever your starting point, you belong here.

Join our challenge this September for a Fresh Start to fall and to build new, healthy habits in community with others.

New for 2026!

This year, we’re doing things differently. Inspired by author Julia Hotz’s book, The Connection Cure, we’re centering our challenge around 5 core pillars of well-being:

🧘 Movement - 🍃 Nature - 🎨 Art & Expression - 🤝 Belonging - 🎁 Service
