Take yoga off the mat

A look at one of the non-physical aspects of yoga:

"Seva, or service, is an integral building block of a yogic life...Truly offering service is living with the understanding that we are all here to serve the greater good. We can help others without ever reaching for our wallet. We can be in service to humanity without ever taking a minute out of our hectic schedules...

For example, you are acting out of service when you pick up a piece of glass on the street...You are in service when you reach for something on the top shelf for a little old lady..Service has no hard and fast rules, and nowhere does it say that you have to be a saint to be in service to humanity."
