I realize some of you may have just gagged or shot kombucha through your nose, but I can't help it, I love it -- I was brought up on this shit. For years it's been the sure-fire way to get me and my brothers all over to my parents for dinner.

Igniting My Seva through the Caribbean Yoga Conference.

via on Feb 21, 2012

As a yogini humanitarian, my life mission or seva is to be a catalyst from transformation in the lives of others, from a place of compassion, humility and most of all love. The sangha or community that was born out of CYC arose from a place of utter love.
