Yoga professionals like to talk a lot about how we can be "of service" in our communities.

But often we get overwhelmed or feel lost in our daily lives and practices. But there are those out there who I want to introduce you to, so you can get inspired.

Osiris Booque is one of those individuals. Like previous guest, Gina Barrett, Osiris was honored by the International Association of Yoga Therapists last year with a SEVA award. This award is for those yoga therapists who are working on creating change in their communities through yoga.

I just love talking to folks who are out in the world doing work like this. I find it inspiring to know there are people committed to creating change, and using yoga as a vehicle to do it.

Our Key Takeaways:

That yoga isn't prescriptive, and we must fight the Western, colonial model of trying to make yoga be a prescription for what ails you

Yoga professionals can make impacts in their own communities.

The IAYT (International Association of Yoga Therapists) is working to support people who are making both a local and global impact.

Leadership is a challenge when you start, but if we want to make changes we need to learn how to be a leader so we can support others.
