Wisdom for the day....
Set an Intention for your Yoga Practice
Setting an intention for your yoga practice can be as simple as dedicating your practice to someone or to something greater than yourself. Through the process, you honor that person or cause. Your intention creates a point of reference to which you return repeatedly as you move, keeping you centered, focused, and aligned with the subject of your intention. Much as we make a toast to celebrate someone, or make a donation in someone else's name, setting an intention is an act of honoring, whether it be a person who has impacted your life positively or a cause such as world peace. The act of setting an intention connects you to the greater world. It makes your yoga practice bigger and more meaningful. It honors both the subject of your intention and you for having offered it.
