Sankalpa is a firm resolve or intention set at the beginning of a yoga practice or meditation. It serves as a focused statement or affirmation that aligns the mind with a specific goal or purpose. Sankalpa harnesses the power of intention to guide one’s thoughts, actions, and energy towards desired outcomes or personal growth. By repeatedly affirming the Sankalpa during practice, practitioners aim to strengthen their resolve and manifest positive changes in their lives, fostering clarity, determination, and alignment with their deepest aspirations.
