Welcome back to Wandering Yogi Podcast! In this episode, I'm talking about yoga in action, specifically through the philosophies of satya/truthfulness, seva/service, and dharma/purpose.Yoga on the mat is great, and offers opportunities for personal transformation.

As yoga practitioners, we have a duty to embody what we've learned on the mat and make a difference out in the world.
