Why Christian Yoga?

I have been teaching group fitness classes for 13 years.  Yoga is an undisputed healthy practice for all ages and fitness levels.  Yoga was the one exercise I could always fit in. For me it was always a very intimate spiritual journey with Christ even in the secular settings in which I was teaching. On this journey, God showed me that I was not on my path alone, but many of my students felt the same way. Now, we didn't invent the physical aspects of Americanized Yoga; but we were all of the mindset that we are to exalt Him, our Savior Jesus Christ, in all that we do. We are created in His Holy Image and that Image should be reflected in all things.

We are believers in the Holy Trinity; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Using that basis, you can expect to learn:
Health of Body: Yoga Postures teach proper body alignment. All poses, when executed properly engage the muscles of the body for toning, stretching and yes, even fat burning.

Health of Mind: Again to execute these poses and relax and focus your mind on all things Above, you must concentrate and develop the ability to block out everything else. This is your time.

Health of Spirit: We have a guided meditation at the end of class. This is your time to "Be Still and Know I am God." It is a time of allowing the Holy Spirit to truly heal and renew your spirit The blood of Christ is for all who desire it and ask for it. In Psalm 23, we know by His Word, "He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.."  He makes me lie down, He leads me, He restores my soul and he guides me. This is the basis of our meditation. It is not emptying of our mind, but the clearing it of the clutter of the day and staying still in the beauty God created for us and focusing our mind on Him and Him alone. God does not work in chaos, but in peace. Relax your spirit to allow the Holy Spirit to restore you.
Come visit or watch us for free. No matter what fitness level you are, or your background, you are welcome. Make no mistake, this is a Christ Centered Class.
