YOGA IN ACTION 7-WEEK PROGRAMS
•Check back for a group in your area
Yoga in Action is a seven-week program that aims to inspire participants to become active in their communities in an effective and sustainable way. This practice is an opportunity to for us to discover the connections between the yogic path and the way of divine service or Seva. We will combine yoga, meditation and visualization, experiential exercises, process work and ritual with the practical tools of communication, organizing and collaborating. The goal of this program is to take participants on a journey of self- inquiry within the context of a small group setting that gives them the inspiration and tools to make a difference in their communities. We want to see yogis all over the globe taking their practice Off the Mat and Into the World!

Cambodia Yoga Challenge
To Cambodia, With Love
The Journey is the Goal by Suzanne Sterling
For the entire last year I was privileged to be facilitator for a bi-monthly phone call in which the Seva Challenge participants discussed their process and progress in the daunting task of raising 20k each. From the beginning, we stressed the importance of creating concrete goals, building teams of support and reaching out to local yoga students and communities beyond studio lines. What we didn't anticipate was the way in which each participant would have to find within themselves the perfect combination of will and surrender. The way each person would have to connect with their passion and purpose and give it voice not once, but over and over again. The way in which, although friends and family sometimes fell short of our expectations, total strangers would create events and offer support beyond our wildest dreams. The way in which miracles came from surprising and unlikely places. The way in which we had to place our trust in something bigger than us.
Meet the Hollywood mogul who left a life of luxury to give some of the world’s poorest children help, hope—and new purpose.
When millionaire movie executive Scott Neeson took a backpacking trip through Cambodia in 2003, he didn’t expect to land on a garbage dump. What he saw on the outskirts of Phnom Penh changed his life: hundreds of children—some as young as three years old—somber, sick, smeared in grime, scavenging for recyclables in the smoky wasteland of Steung Meanchey, a toxic dump site that spans eight football fields and is more than 100 feet deep.
