Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 654: Shri Yogada (ōṃ yōgadāyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother bestows the capabilities, power and benefits of yoga. 

She grants yoga to devotees. With sufficient efforts, material wealth can be got; yoga is like wealth acquisition. The one who collects the material wealth in small steps achieves his goal; similarly with effort in small step achievements in yoga to merge with the Brahman is possible. In every stage, it is proper to seek the Divine Mother’s blessings in gaining yoga practices. Without understanding yoga, just talking about it, cannot achieve yoga. Anyone can pray to the Divine Mother to get resultant determination and encouragement by putting in proper efforts. Those seeking yoga, enthusiastically, can get the blessing from the Divine Mother. As the Divine Mother grants yoga for Her devotees with proper efforts, She is appropriately called Yogada. 

For those who pray to Her treating Her as their Guru, their external pleasures and seeking inner strength to merge with Brahman, She lets such devotees get the yoga as She is known as Yogada. 

The Divine Mother confers the Yoga that is union of Jivatman (soul) with Brahman. She is bestowing material wealth, enjoyment as a form of her blessing on Her devotees. The Shakta doctrine, referred to here, states that divine grace is essential for Self-realization.

The the Divine Mother bestows the power of Yoga.
