Why the Commitment?

The key to accelerating your yoga practice

As in all of life, one has to give in order to receive. In giving, we open ourselves to higher levels of awareness. Yoga doesn’t work unless we love and care about others. Therefore, in order to develop as a yogi and knower of Spirit through these courses, seminars and retreats, we highly recommend a commitment of at least two hours per week in performing selfless service. This commitment can be serving others in any way you choose – helping a family member, assisting neighbors, the elderly, or volunteering anywhere needed, for example.

Getting Prepared for Higher Consciousness

Giving and serving your fellow human being lovingly and freely is essential to spiritual development. Allow yourself to discover your great soul and the vast consciousness within you.

How to Succeed

As you may know, we do not charge for our courses. All Yoga World content is free and available to you with our blessings. However, we do have a simple, but important request that’s key to the transformations necessary to succeed on the path.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.
