What is Christian Yoga?

We have often received the question: "Can Christians practice yoga?" Or, we meet people who have been warned that yoga is against a particular belief system. Are you curious what it means to be a Christian and practice yoga? Our belief is that yoga is healthful exercise that is not connected with any particular religion. This may surprise you, given the new-agey feel experienced in many yoga classes.

Our goal with Christian Yoga is to combine the strengthening flexibility training of yoga in a Christ-filled atmosphere of praise and thanks. We believe that God wants His children to be healthy and that our bodies are God’s temples. We believe that striving for radiant health is one more way that we can thank God for our blessings. Christian Yoga is perfect for people wanting to get into shape as well as athletes searching for non-impact workout alternatives.

The purpose of our Christian Yoga class is for people to connect to themselves and God through the practice of yoga that is Christ-centered and enjoyed by all denominations of believers in Christ. We use Biblical scriptures that are based on themes like Peace, Angels and Prayer. The purpose of our Christian Yoga ministry is to exercise the mind and body while meditating on God's Holy Word; allowing HIS words to enter your heart and transform it. Basic yoga postures, poses, and stretches are taught; class is mixed level, but some yoga experience is helpful.

If you have no Yoga experience, but want to participate in this powerful experience, consider doing a few private lessons first. Our teachers are all Yahweh Yoga trained and are daily yoga practioners themselves! We hope to see you on the mat.
