Invite Turning Points

How to have a more dynamic relationship with God

Is your relationship with God routine, static and less than satisfying? If so, you are not yet open to important turning points in your yoga practice. Discover how you can invite turning points, opportunities to grow spiritually, and then enjoy a dynamic, rich, delightful, ever-new relationship with the Lord of your heart.

Essential Life Skills, Transformation

Surrender and Open

We welcome turning points. If we feel bored or ambivalent when meditating, the fault is ours. Chances are, it’s due to something we’ve misunderstood,  something we’ve not learned, or something we’ve not let go of. Just get in there and surrender more or open more. They’re both the same thing — surrendering and opening. Then you’ll find turning points coming at a regular pace.

  • There is joy in relating to God. We get transformed, causing our experience in the world to become richer and sweeter
  • Turning points in our lives show up because we’re growing. Learn the factors which enable us to welcome these turning points and live happier lives
  • Discover the the buddhi, the witness, which gives insight into how to live in the joy of Spirit
  • Meditation is centering in the true self, the true you, which is full of moving, dynamic Spirit
  • Meditation leads to absorption in spiritual awareness. Every time you get absorbed, there is a new turning point

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?
