Mondays set the tone for the week, and what better way to start strong than with a 60-minute power yoga flow? This Monday Motivation Power Hour is designed to wake up your body, boost energy, and fuel your mindset for success.
Set an intention!
In yoga, you set an intention at the beginning of your practice. As a Christian, I like to choose bible verses that can lead my practice- and day- in a positive direction. Here are some of my favorites:
- Psalm 16:9 – “Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.“
- 2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
Expect dynamic movement, core activation, deep stretching, and breathwork to leave you feeling strong, focused, and unstoppable.
Pssst. Have you bought a yoga mat yet?
