New Year's 2026: Ignite Your Intention Challenge


Day 9 - New Year's 2026 Ignite Your Intention

Day 9 - New Year's 2026 Ignite Your Intention

🌬️ Day 9: Realign & Release

Friday, January 9th

At this stage in the challenge, you may be noticing things—tightness you didn’t realize you were holding, emotions rising to the surface, or a shift in how you relate to your body or routine. That’s not a setback. That’s growth in motion.

Day 9 invites you to realign with what matters and release what no longer serves you. The simple act of getting on your mat and breathing intentionally is often enough to create space—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Maybe your intention needs a little adjusting. Maybe your energy needs something different than it did last week. That’s okay. This journey isn’t static—it evolves as you do.

Choose the class that feels like support today. Whether that’s the gentler option or the more challenging one, or something entirely different from the YogaDownload library, just move with presence. That’s how you stay aligned.
 

🗣️ Let’s keep the conversation going! Scroll below and share your thoughts in the comments:
→ Which class did you choose and what did you like or dislike about it?
→ What are you ready to release—on or off the mat?

Each comment = another chance to win one of our four end-of-challenge prize packages!
 



📝 Journal/Thought Prompt of the Day:

Q. What thoughts, habits, or patterns are you ready to let go of in order to create more space for the life—and mindset—you truly want to embody?

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



Here are today's class options:

Open Your Heart with Dana Smith

30 min class

Level: All Levels | Intensity: Everyday Namaste

When the heart chakra is unbalanced, feelings of sadness, self-pity, and fear can suffocate our ability to give and receive love. True love starts with loving the person in the mirror. In this yoga practice we will explore asanas designed to open the heart and increase the flow of self-love.


Spice Up Your Practice with Pradeep Teotia

40 min class

Level: Adv. Intermediate | Intensity: You'll Feel It

Oh happy day! This practice will energize and challenge you in new ways to bring your practice to its full expression. We will use the breath to flow through challenging sequences and move the prana energy. This practice includes some long holds and balance poses, plus a long Savasana series that begins 31 mins into the practice. Welcome home.


You only need to choose one class.

*Remember, 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.
