Having experienced the transformative and healing power of yoga myself, I feel deeply called to seva or the selfless service of others through compassion and empathy. I feel particularly aligned with the mission of Yoga Gives Back in their dedication to empowering women and children in underprivileged communities in India through education and micro-financing. I value the sense of community and connection with the yoga community and beyond that Yoga Gives Back promotes.
