Off the Mat, Into the World™ (OTM) is a program that aims to inspire and guide you to find and define your purpose and become active in your local or global community in an effective, sustainable and joyful way. OTM is an educational, experiential and motivational process for those interested in conscious activism and service. We combine yoga asanas, meditation in-depth self-exploration which culminates in the formation of a group project that is real and in service to the community.
We define conscious activism and service as feeling empowered to make a difference in the world from a place of balance, connection, and fierce love! Each of us has a unique calling that needs only to be nurtured and cultivated so that it can grow and flourish. Conscious activism happens in community and is a way of life. Find your Purpose.
The OTM curriculum is divided into four parts.
- Self-Inquiry: Who Am I? What is my Purpose? What does it look like for me to Live on Purpose?
- Interdependence: Understanding our connection to the world around us.
- Community: Practical tools and skills in Communication, Collaboration, Organization and Strategy
- Action: Creating and initiating a project that makes a difference.
We see yogis all over the globe taking their practice Off the Mat and Into the World!
