Practice Motivation explores how to maintain forward momentum throughout your yoga journey. Every practitioner experiences fluctuations in motivation — the initial enthusiasm, the mid-journey plateaus, and the joy after breakthroughs. Articles on this topic share methods and mindset adjustments for sustaining practice motivation at different stages, helping you through those moments when you feel like giving up.

Truly lasting practice motivation doesn't come from external encouragement but from understanding and love for the practice itself. When you start feeling the internal changes that practice brings — better sleep, more stable emotions, clearer thinking — these become the most natural source of motivation to keep practising.
