A free, self-guided November challenge
Thanks & Planks
A free, self-guided 30-day November challenge for core strength and everyday gratitude.
Five minutes for movement and gratitude, including short plank holds, rest, and one daily prompt.
November is the season of gratitude, and it's also one of the busiest months of the year. It's easy to put yourself last.
Thanks & Planks gives you a simple daily practice to come back to: a few minutes to build strength, a moment to notice something good, and a check mark that shows you showed up.
No complicated routines. No new moves to learn every day.
Your plank practice. Your moment of gratitude. A little time for yourself each day.
What you'll receive
A printable November calendar
30 gratitude prompts and a place to check off each day.
A five-minute follow-along video
Wall, counter, and floor options so you can choose your starting point.
Optional encouragement
Share your daily wins in our free Dance Through Life Facebook group.

Meet your guide
Hi, I'm Ashley!
I've spent my life teaching people to move with joy, from owning a dance studio as a teenager to leading our online AbunDANCE community today. I believe small, steady steps help us build confidence. This November, we'll practice making time to move and noticing something we're thankful for along the way.
Save your spot
Fill out the form, and I'll send your printable calendar and video right away. The challenge begins Sunday, November 1.
