“When you want something very much, the whole universe conspires to help you.” Paulo Coelho
In yoga, intention is everything. If you have the right intention, your choices will always guide you in the right direction. If you do not know why you are doing something, you are probably not going to be doing it for very long. I have a rock solid reason for changing my eating habits and that is what is still keeping my resolve alive.
Once you direct your attention to something, your intention becomes a powerful influence on what things happen in your life. Be clear about what your intentions are. Learn to notice all the little things that happen around you and that are trying to give you some clues and help you in fulfilling your desires. With time your mind will come down, you’ll be able to release your intentions and surrender your desires.
What does it mean to set your intention in your yoga practice - for example in your asana practice: take few moments before you start and dedicate your practice to something or someone other but yourself. Don’t just do it for the benefit that you’re going to get. Make the practice selfless, that’s when the practice becomes a practice of yoga - it’s not only performing the practices but it’s your motivation and intention that make it a spiritual practice.

The first few paragraphs are quotes from what people have said about motivation and intention and this was said concerning not particularly yoga practice but any activity. I thought that is relevant.
The last paragraph is what it was taught to me by my yoga teachers and i always tried to applied in my own practice.
