Find Focus and Clarity by Setting an Intention on Your Yoga Mat
What if setting an intention could transform the way you approach your yoga practice? Yoga Instructor Amanda Kramer introduces the yogic concept of Sankalpa, a deeply meaningful intention connected to your heart’s desire, truth, authenticity, and highest purpose. Discover how setting a clear, simple intention can help you connect with your inner self and create a meaningful point of focus, whether you are beginning a yoga practice, waking up for the day, or simply pausing to reconnect with yourself.

Daily Intentions & Deeper Purpose
Intentions can take different forms depending on where you are in your practice or your day. A daily intention may respond to what you need in the moment, while a deeper Sankalpa can serve as an enduring thread connected to your dharma, purpose, and the unique gifts you are here to share. Simple intentions such as “I am calm” or “I am balanced” can provide a clear point of focus and words to return to throughout your practice and your day.
