Intention

"In Sanskrit, sankalpa means intention.  An intention is a promise you make to yourself about what you intend to do, be, say, etc.  An intention is a way to put positive thinking and desires into action.

A consistent yoga practice has the power to transform not only your physical body, but your life.  When the body starts to change, your mind and heart begin to open up in ways you can’t imagine. 

Top your practice off with an intention and you’ll really start to feel a new meaning to your yoga on and off the mat.

Intention setting is an invaluable tool and one that takes little time, but does require commitment and focus. 

It’s also best to keep it simple –one word or phrase.  Let it become your mantra for the practice or your day."  ~ from Yoga Journal.
