How to Play Bing-OM
by Hannah Moran
This Spring (2024), Inner Fire Yoga is bringing back the Bing-OM challenge (aka Yoga Bingo)! Here’s how it works, and why you should participate 🙂
Bing-OM is a fun way to gamify your yoga practice and try new things. Let’s face it – it’s easy to get stuck in a routine and start to feel blah about your yoga practice. As you play Bing-OM with us, you’ll be prompted to try new classes, teachers, poses and more. Trust me – you will not be bored this spring if you participate!
How it Works
Each square on the Bing-OM grid is a prompt. You can find a key for the prompts in the center of the sticker charts (scroll down for the full list). After you complete a prompt, put a sticker on the square. You have from April 15 til May 15 to try to complete as many squares as possible. Get five squares in a row, column or diagonal – win a prize! If you blackout the board and complete 100% of the prompts, you’ll win an even bigger prize…
To play, simply write your name above one of the Bing-OM grids on the sticker charts at either Inner Fire Yoga studio.
Here’s what the grid looks like:
