Our First Group Seva Projects!

Yoga in Action Birmingham's first group of participants finished their leadership training in November 2010. They were excited to get to work on their first Seva Project! The group chose to support the Salvation Army Angel Program. Each participant adopted a child and collected clothing and a toy for that child. They met over brunch and brought all their goodies to be bagged up and taken to the Salvation Army. The group got a lot of joy out of this simple and easy Seva Project. During this meeting they discussed ideas for a second project.





Below are pics from the group's last meeting. They had dinner together and are continuing to offer each other friendship and support in their personal endeavors. They are discussing ways in which they can continue working together while keeping their activisim joyful and sustainable!




The group continue to meet regularly to discuss new Seva Projects and support each other. We're so inspired by this amazing group of yogi activists! We can't wait to see what they'll do next!
