Sincerity is the Key

How being a sincere person leads to spiritual awakening

Sincerity is the key to success in yoga. A sincere person easily finds fulfillment and spiritual awakening through dedicated yoga practice.

  • When we put all our energy into fulfilling our creature needs we frequently become cunning or manipulative and prevent our own spiritual awakening
  • Practicing yoga with sincerity assures progress; indulging in selfish motives assures failure
  • Find out why a crooked heart is not suitable for spiritual awareness
  • Explore the meaning of sincerity

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?
