“All love, in its native purity, is God’s love… Love alone will last. The laws of God are the laws of brotherhood and love…
Pure love does not come by talking, but by cultivating it gradually in the soil of an ever-increasing, ever-expanding feeling of sympathy and friendship toward all existence.”
-Paramhansa Yogananda
Some of the most beautiful parts of life, and some of the greatest suffering is often experienced in our relationships. How we relate to others— how we communicate, resolve conflicts, and face the ups and downs of everyday life—these will dictate how happy or unhappy our relationships are or will become.
What do you want from your relationships? Love, harmony, joy and more. It is a well known fact that intimate relationships take work, attention, energy, and a great deal of love and compassion. You can learn skills that will help you to begin building healthy and happy relationships.
Recognise your strengths and how to use them to help you on your relationship journey, and know your weaknesses, working on them will help you to work toward success and happiness in your relationships.
In this program we will explore:
- How to nurture healthy and happy relationships
- Finding solutions for conflict, challenges and problems
- Working with obstacles and blocks within oneself
- Choices in communication, listening and responding
- When a relationship ends

You can choose the option Yoga in Action for any course where this program is available and you can continue with this option as long as you wish. Your service project might change each day.
When we learn to serve with the right attitude, this is a spiritual practice and is called Karma Yoga. The daily practice of Karma Yoga is a joyful and practical spiritual discipline that will benefit every aspect of your life.
At Ananda, there are two levels of the Yoga in Action option:

Yoga in Action Level 2 is only available if you have had prior experience of the Yoga in Action Level 1 option, or any of the Community Living Programs. With Level 2, you will serve for a period of three hours, split into two periods of daily service.
