Why: yogis perform action with the body, mind, intellect, and even the senses alone, without attachment, for the purpose of self-purification, framing purification as the actual goal underneath the activity, not the activity itself.
In life: the same task, cleaning, working, exercising, becomes a different kind of practice depending on whether you're doing it for pure result or for the discipline itself.
Teaching: occasionally do a routine task with the explicit intention of practicing presence and non-attachment, rather than just getting it done, notice the difference in how it feels afterward.
