Day 8 - New Year's 2026 Ignite Your Intention

🚀 Day 8: Keep the Momentum Going

Thursday, January 8th

Welcome to Week 2 of the Ignite Your Intention Challenge! You’ve already done something remarkable—carving out time and space for yourself for a full week. Now it’s time to keep that fire burning.

This is often the point in a challenge where people drift or feel the pull of other obligations. But remember: this journey isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being present.

Some days your movement may be strong and focused. Other days, it might be soft and slow. Both are equally valuable when done with intention.

Let today’s practice be a recommitment to yourself. You’ve come this far—not because you had to, but because something inside you knows you’re worth showing up for.

As always, choose from the two class options below—one beginner-friendly, one more advanced—or pick any class from our free class options (or full YogaDownload library if you have a membership). What matters most is that you get on your mat and keep going.

🗣️ We’d love to hear your reflections! Scroll below and share in the comments:
→ Which class did you choose and what did you like or dislike about it?
→ How are you feeling as we begin week two?
→ What are you doing to stay connected to your intention?

Every comment counts as another entry to win one of our four prize packages!

📝 Journal/Thought Prompt of the Day:

Q. What do you need to let go of this week—physically, mentally, or emotionally—in order to stay focused on your intention and keep moving forward?

Write your response in a journal or simply think about the response to yourself.

Here are today's class options:

Postural Health with Gemma Celento

35 min class

Level: All Levels | Intensity: Ahhhhhh

This class works to relieve low back pain and improve posture. Side sleeping, screen time, and day to day life can close specific lines of the body which leads to low back pain, poor posture, and loss of mobility. Designed to be both therapeutic and to improve muscular balance. This class opens key reflective points within the body to support back/shoulder mobility and to release: upper back knots, low back lateral 'pulling', tightness across chest and front of the hips.

Twist it Good with Channing Grivas

40 min class

Level: Intermediate | Intensity: You'll Feel It

Sometimes we all just need a good twist! This fun class will give you the opportunity to get out of your head and just move. Twisting postures are cleansing and invigorating - you'll wake up your spine and enliven yourself from head to toe! Twist it...twist it good!

You only need to choose one class.

*If you're feeling in the mood for something different you can choose any of our free classes on our site (or any other class you'd like!). The most important thing is to show up and get on your mat!

OVERVIEW OF THE CHALLENGE

🔥 Ignite Your Intention: A FREE 2-Week Online New Year Yoga Challenge

Start strong. Move with purpose. Step into your year aligned.

There’s no better way to begin the new year than by committing to yourself—your body, your goals, your well-being. The Ignite Your Intention Challenge is your invitation to start 2026 with clarity, consistency, and powerful daily movement.

Over the course of 14 days, you’ll receive two class options each day—one beginner-friendly and one intermediate-level—so you can choose the practice that best supports your energy, goals, and experience level.

Whether you’re looking to build strength, reduce stress, create a new habit, or simply reconnect with yourself, this challenge will help you stay focused and aligned from the very beginning of the year.

Practicing yoga consistently—even just once a day—can dramatically improve your physical health, boost your mood and energy, improve sleep and increase mental clarity. And when you pair that movement with intention, you create real momentum that carries into everything else you do.

This is more than just a challenge—it’s a reset, a recommitment, and a way to plant the seeds for a strong, centered, and intentional year ahead.

🔥 Don’t wait for change—create it. Join now and start 2026 with purpose.
