Keys to Higher Yogas

Quicker Access to Realization

The splendor of our inner self/soul is often blocked by tension and turbulence.  The whole point of yoga is to shed the tension from the body, the anxiety from the mind/heart and to live in awareness of the true self. Is there a quicker way to do it? Yes, these are the processes that are involved.

  • Have determination to daily learn from life — you will go far and fast
  • Appreciate your path every day — enjoy and rejoice in it
  • Cultivate devotion, love and appreciation for your ideal — give it your heart’s love
  • Develop mastery of the senses — allow your senses to serve you
  • Determination, appreciation, devotion and mastery of the senses lead to unity of being
  • From unity of being comes the subtlety of mind, heart and nervous system necessary for spiritual realization

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.

I Commit to Serve

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.

Why the Commitment?
