In yoga, there are four paths to enlightenment: Bhakti yoga, Karma yoga, Jnana yoga and Raja yoga. Karma yoga is based on the idea that to achieve perfection you must use action. In Sanskrit, the word karma means ‘to do’ or ‘action’, while yoga means ‘union’. Together, the words karma yoga mean union though action. Today, a great way to practice karma yoga is by giving back to your community. Volunteering, donating or creating an event to help raise money for a non-profit organization is a great example.
