Express Your Soul

In summation, the main purpose of karma is to reveal and transform character. Generally, events in our life occur because we need to see or know something about ourself. Karma is here to show us areas in need of change. Karma keeps knocking until we react. When we study and appreciate karma, it will play more subtly. Our entire experience of life is based on our willingness to refine our character and become a better expression of our perfect soul.

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.
