In 2025, we introduced Strength-tember. In 2026, it's Strength-tober!

In September 2025, NASS and Yoga for AS introduced Strength-tember - a way for people living with axial SpA to exercise safely whilst raising awareness and vital funds for all those who are affected by the condition. This October, we're back as Strength-tober, keeping the same mission with a new month.

Every September for the past few years, we have joined forces and run Stretch-tember, reaching hundreds of people across the globe and encouraging them to stretch, move more for their axial SpA and fundraise. This year, we shifted the focus onto building strength, not only to feel stronger physically, but to demonstrate the inner-strength of each person living with the condition. Now, as Strength-tober, we're continuing that focus for 2026.
