Giving Back. Karma Yoga with yoganuu.com
"When you stand and share your story in an empowering way, your story will heal someone else."
Karma yoga can be summed up as acts of selflessness, benefitting others whilst moving your own ego out of the way. It's a form of action based yoga and one of the 4 main paths of yoga. Raja Yoga, the physical practice of yoga asanas being the one we tend to be more familiar with.
In my aim to cultivate a good personal sense of giving back, I'm sharing here some of my karma yoga actions with the aim of reminding myself how good it feels to support others and perhaps inspire you and others to share some karma yoga on your journeys.
