Karma Yoga in Action

Yoga teachers, across the globe, are performing seva (selfless service). This karma yoga path is one of action, service to others, and mindfulness. We have scoured the internet and other yoga materials to keep abreast of karma yoga being done. If you are on this path we highly recommend you consider listening to this course by the Yoga Service Council before starting.

"Sometimes when we say 'service,' we create a hierachy between the server and the served, the have and have-not, the savior and the needy being saved. We need to understand what the community being served wants or needs, what social change they are seeking and whether they have a voice in designing the service projects that will benefit them." - Tessa Hiks Peterson, PhD.
