The World is a Field of Action

Yoga is the harmony of body, mind and spirit and harmony of the individual with the Divine. Often another definition is added:  Yoga is skill in action (being able to function well in the world). The teachings of Patanjali and Sri Ramakrishna explain this so well.

Sri Ramakrishna was asked:  Sir, why has God put us in the world? He answered:  The world is a field of action. Through action one acquires knowledge.

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.
