The weeks before Christmas are some of the busiest of the year, long lists, full calendars, late nights, early mornings and the pressure to keep everything (and everyone) running smoothly. It’s often the time when self-care slips to the bottom of the list. This is exactly the time when your body and mind need a little extra attention.
And it is easy to put your own wellbeing on hold until January.
The Yoga Advent Challenge 2025 is your daily invitation to pause, move and breathe. With a playful theme of ‘Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes’ (plus a little love for your back, hips and legs along the way), this challenge will help you build strength, improve mobility, ease stress and calm the mind. It will help you to start building the habits you want to carry into the New Year.
What’s Included in the Yoga Advent Challenge:
- 24 short practices all for just £15 (Family members get free access)
- Pre-recorded videos of 10-15 minutes long
- A mix of mat-based and chair-based yoga so you can choose what suits you best
- A balanced approach covering the head, shoulders, knees and toes (and back and hips)
- 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
Yoga for Beginners and Busy People in December
This challenge is designed for every body. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have an existing yoga practice. The sessions are short, accessible and easy to adapt to your December routine (or lack thereof).
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 a Yoga Challenge Before the New Year?
So many people wait until January to “start afresh”. But December is the perfect time to create change. By committing to a short daily practice now, you’ll already have built the habit before the New Year begins.
By Christmas Eve, you’ll feel light, calmer and more connected in both body and mind. Ready to step into the holidays (and the year ahead) with greater ease.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long are sessions?
Each pre-recorded video will be between 10-15 minutes long so that you can easily fit it into your day.
Do I need a mat?
Not necessarily! You can do yoga wherever is good for you. A mat provides cushioning and an anti-slip surface (essential for chair yogis).
Is there a chair yoga option?
Yes! All classes will be taught for both mat and chair based yogis
When do I receive the daily email?
You’ll receive a welcome email when you sign up and then another introduction just before we start. All Advent emails will be sent out around 6am each morning for any early risers!
I'm a Fat Frog Family member, do I still need to pay?
Nope! All Fat Frog Family members receive automatic access to the Yoga Advent Challenge as part of their membership.
Here’s what people had to say about past Challenges…
Thank you. Thank you. Absolutely loving them.
You work so hard to make them suitable for mat or chair, well done, I do whichever I fancy. The sessions seem much shorter than they are.
When doing the restorative sessions, they make me realise how much more deeper I can go into rest mode.
Thank you again. I’m very grateful for your time and trouble making them xx
Loving the advent calendar yoga videos.. admit I’m doing them around the pool in Lanzarote, but idea of a short session every day is brilliant and totally achievable… what a brilliant idea!!
Your teacher, Fay Froggett-Brown
Fay is not your typical yoga teacher. Having started to teach in 2018, she loves to teach practical yoga that is influenced by science and can be used in real life. teaches in the communities of Bolsover, Inkersall, New Whittington, Cutthorpe, Palterton and hosts online monthly membership. Fay teaches both mat and chair based classes suitable for beginners and those looking for accessible classes.
Fay came up with the idea of the Yoga Advent Challenge as a counter to all the January challenges you see, believing that yoga, a way to calm body and mind, is much more needed during the festive season.
