Christian Yoga

Come explore the world of Christian Yoga, balancing your deep spiritual roots while honoring the temple God has given you. In this class we will begin with a Bible based focus, reading Scripture to support that intention. Students will learn to connect their breath with the flow from posture to posture, centering on the spiritual connection between our body and our mind. As students move from one pose to another, strengthening the muscle, mind and spirit, we will learn to express praise and gratitude for God's gifts through caring for and maintaining our most prized blessing - the body. This Christ-centered workshop will close with relaxation, prayer and inward meditation, as we guide the heart back to our initial intent set at the beginning of the workshop. Music for the class will be a calming, joyful fusion of Christian music and relaxing instrumentals. “You surely know that your body is a temple where the Holy Spirit lives. The Spirit is in you and is a gift from God. You are no longer your own. God paid a great price for you. So use your body to honor God.” 1Cor.6:19-20
