Yoga literally means "to unite" or "to join." Discover help you can build community and service through this ancient practice.
Word of the Week: Unite
Come together in community. Join forces with others; set us free.
In Sanskrit, the ancient language of yoga, yoga literally means "to unite" or "to join." In a yoga practice, mind, body and spirit unify to help you move closer to self-realization.
Although a yoga practice often starts on a yoga mat, I can't think of another practice with a greater intention to help unify people than yoga. Yoga encourages sangha, which means "community" in Sanskrit. We build sangha when we take a yoga class and when we connect outside of the classroom by contributing to our local communities through seva (service).
When we find others who are as passionate about a cause as we are, we can unite with them to form a greater connection to ourselves, each other and the world. When we connect to our own true nature, we connect with our highest selves and our higher consciousness, ultimately helping the world find unity, even in small ways.
