Karma Yoga (also called Seva) is a necessary aspect of Kundalini Yoga. It is based on the law of Karma: "Everything you do, comes back to you tenfold". This is true for all your negative actions, but also for whatever you do positive and selflessly. Without Karma Yoga, there is a risk that doing yoga just for yourself, instead of slowly dissolving the ego, hardens it and leads to narcissism. Karma Yoga supports the creation of community and leads to friendship, love and group consciousness.

The European Yoga Festival is almost exclusively run by volunteers. The loving mentality of taking care of each other is a large part of the magic of the festival. Everybody, who comes to the festival is asked to help with serving the food, cleaning, cutting vegetables, etc. With your registration you will be given a Karma Yoga project. Normally Karma Yoga projects are done in the Misl system, small language - based groups that meet in the morning. We try to organize the Karma Yoga in such a way that you do not miss a part of the festival program. There is a limited amount of discounts available for people who perform more strenuous and time consuming jobs like security or registration (see work exchange),
