October at Ompractice
Published 9/30/2026
Welcome to October!
🍁 Our challenge this month: UNKNOT OCTOBER CHALLENGE
Where do you hold tension? This October, unknot yourself one zone at a time. Take one class per week focused on a different body area - shoulders, back, hips, full body. Four weeks, four zones, real relief. Complete all four to be entered to win!
Special Classes on Ompractice in October
Special Class: Yoga Nidra for Rest and Reset with Allison Jeraci Sunday, October 11 at 7:00pm ET / 4:00pm PT (30 min) [Sign up here]
Yoga Nidra for Rest and Reset is a guided rest practice. You lie down, get comfortable, and follow Allison's voice through a slow, body-scan style practice. Perfect for anyone running on empty, or if you always wish it was a little easier to "switch off" at night. No yoga experience needed and no movement to keep up with. Bring a blanket, a pillow, and a spot to lie down or relax comfortably.
Special Class: Desk Rescue Live - Shoulders and Neck with Niki Saccareccia Monday, October 26 at 12:00pm ET / 9:00am PT (30 min) [Sign up here]
If your shoulders live up around your ears, Desk Rescue is for you! Niki walks through targeted, beginner-friendly relief for the neck, shoulders, and upper back, the places that tighten when we sit, scroll, and hold onto stress. You'll experience 30 minutes of slow, clearly demonstrated movement: gentle neck releases, shoulder and upper-back mobility, and simple posture resets you can do without leaving your chair. Options for every body, and a handful of moves you will actually use at your desk this week!
🎥 New in the Video Library: Qigong with Gurney, Yoga Nidra with Allison, and Gentle Stretch: Mid-Day Release with Emily
New features in the video library: You can now easily see how much of each video you've watched. (If you want to watch the rest later you can do that and it'll resume where you stopped.) You can also see your watch history on the "My Classes" page of your account drop down. (Scroll down to "video watches".) You can also see it on the "bookmarks and history" tab of the video library.
We've also added a way to rate the videos you've watched so we can better help you find classes you'll love in the future! I've also re-organized our video collections by topic (including a new "short on time" section!) so that things are more easier to find in the library! Let us know what you think!
Upcoming Community Classes:
We host free weekly classes anyone can join (even without an Ompractice membership.) Invite your friends to practice with you!
