Intention
Once you become a regular on your mat at home; you need to keep up your motivation.
Sometimes it helps just to change your intention or practice what you need.
Focus Options

A favourite sequence If it is a favourite it will flow, and sequence work is also good for training the memory.
An area of the body Core, hips and legs, shoulders and back
An energy focus To lift energy with a morning practice
To calm down and unwind with an evening practice
The Essentials
If you are going into a longer practice (half an hour to an hour) allow that practice to include both internal and external aspects.
Internal practices: Centering andGrounding i.e. sit for a few minutes, become present within yourself, ready for your practice
Breath work / Relaxation / Contemplation / Meditation.
External practices: Back Bend / Forward Bend / Stretches / Inversion / Balance / Twist
Sankalpa: Write a positive thought for yourself
One word of encouragement that you need in your
yoga and/or your life.
A short sentence
A Sankalpa is not restricted to use on the mat.
