Five Episodes

Work Series

Is your work satisfying? Does it uplift others?

If your answer isn’t yes, you’ll likely find yoga approaches which may have a profound effect on your daily life.

  1. Yoga is Skill in Action
  2. The Mystery of Action
  3. Doing Your Part in the World
  4. Doing Work that Fits You
  5. Who is the Doer?

While people may think yoga is mainly about being quiet and still, it also is very much about consciously working and doing your part in the world. In fact, the Bhagavad Gita says not to work is considered stealing, laziness and is actually a spiritual crime.

A Change in Motive

So, how do we make our work joyful and of benefit to the world? Your motive is crucial. Yoga practices can help you transcend good (or bad) results in order to become an instrument through whom Spirit expresses and uplifts.

As you progress in working toward selfless motive rather than reward, you’ll discover your dharma — the way the soul wishes to express through your work and life.

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.
