Many people see yoga as a way to be more flexible, distress themselves and to exercise the mind and body.\u00a0 Yoga can also help us focus our minds to what is important to us and make us aware of ourselves.\u00a0 Many people like myself practice karma yoga, which is the practice of selfless action.\u00a0 This is also referred to as yoga activism, which is when individuals take their yoga practice off of the mat into their daily lives<\/p>\n
Within yoga activism, there are some key values to guide you through your adventure in life.\u00a0 One example is love and showing to others and yourself.\u00a0 Another one is learning how to forgive yourself and others.\u00a0 The goal is to learn how to live and move on from the past with love and forgiveness.\u00a0 The third value is to always have faith in yourself, others and a higher power that everything will work out the way it is supposed to.\u00a0 The fourth one is to treat yourself and others equally and remember that we are all different and unique in our own ways.\u00a0 It is also important to always be honest with yourself and others.\u00a0 Finally, it is the practice of helping others through volunteer work, because nothing is more valued than the feeling of helping somebody else.<\/p>\n
With these values, yoga activism can be fulfilled with the following straggles, such as meditating to bring your mind to focus on what is important to you and how you want to help others.\u00a0 Another method is to be creative in how you want to achieve your purpose and goals.\u00a0 It is important to know your purpose, set your goals with an action plan and always dream beyond horizons.<\/p>\n
My yoga practice has helped me determine that my passion in life is to help and inspire people with disabilities while educating people on disability related issues.\u00a0 Every day I achieve my purpose through writing my column, working on book projects on disability issues and volunteering with different disability organizations.\u00a0 My dream is to become a stronger disability advocate and reach more readers with my words.\u00a0 I am proud to be a columnist, a writer, a disability advocate and a yoga activist with the sole purpose of representing and working for people with disabilities.<\/p>\n
