Day 11 - New Year's 2026 Ignite Your Intention

🌕 Day 11: Notice the Shift

Sunday, January 11th

By now, your body may feel stronger, your breath deeper, your thoughts a bit clearer. Or maybe not—and that’s okay too. Because something has shifted, even if it’s subtle.

The act of returning to your mat again and again creates momentum—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally, too.

Day 11 invites you to pause and notice what’s different. Not in a performance-based way, but with curiosity and appreciation. Your relationship with yourself is changing in small but powerful ways. That’s what intention in motion looks like.

Choose the class that resonates with you today—whether you want to gently recharge or dig a little deeper. You can always explore something else from the YogaDownload free class library (or full library if you are a member) if you need something different. Just keep honoring your practice and your path.

🗣️ Take a moment to reflect with us! Scroll below and share your thoughts in the comments:
→ Which class did you choose and what did you like or dislike about it?
→ What’s one subtle or surprising shift you’ve noticed in your body, mind, or daily habits since starting the challenge?

Every comment = an entry into our giveaway for one of four prize packages!

📝 Journal/Thought Prompt of the Day:

Q. What has shifted in you—physically, emotionally, or mentally—over the past 11 days that you’re proud of or curious about? How has your relationship to movement or intention changed?

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

Here are today's class options:

Humble Warrior Hip Opening Slow-ish Flow with Kylie Larson

45 min class

Level: Adv. Beginner & Up | Intensity: Everyday Namaste

Class begins with a little hip mobility and side bending in gate pose, then moves into sun salutations with lunges and hamstring stretches. Before diving into our second flow, we take some time in frog pose, grounding down and opening the hips in preparation for the second half of class. Sun B takes us into warrior 1, humble warrior and fun transition to a twisting lunge and skandasana. We'll transition to the back of the mat with horse pose and warrior 2. Class ends with some balance and deeper twists before revisiting frog pose to see how much we've opened up.

Inner Strength Flow 2: The Fire Within with Jackie Casal Mahrou

55 min class

Level: Intermediate | Intensity: You'll Feel It

Tapas is one of the 5 Niyamas in the Yoga Sutras. It relates to self-discipline and is essentially the fire within us—our drive—that keeps us steadfast on our path of growth and awareness. This warming class invites you to tend to your inner fire as you tap into the strength within. Class combines flow, breath, core strength, arm & leg balancing, twists, and more to help you cultivate balance and gain momentum.

You only need to choose one class.

*Friendly reminder—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!). It's all about showing up and getting 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.
