When Someone Hurts You

Explore ways you can stay centered in any situation

When someone hurts you, how do you react? Our happiness in life often depends on how we respond when someone treats us badly. Every thought, feeling and action we do is a seed we plant. If we plant good causes, we get good effects. Find out how to cultivate happiness and joy through planting constructive causes.

Yoga in Daily Life

Plant Something Beautiful

Look for Spirit in yourself and find that wholeness. No one can take your wholeness from you. Find love and then love your neighbor. Be careful what you plant because you are planting those things which are going to sprout in your life. When a person hurts you, don’t worsen your suffering. Plant something beautiful.

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?
