Gentle Yoga

  • Yoga classes are designed to decrease tension in the body and increase flexibility and strength.
  • Each class begins a time of centering and breath, preparing the body and mind for physical practice.
  • We then begin to move the body through a combination of poses, stretching and strengthening while surrounding every movement with breath.
  • Poses are broken down individually with an emphasis on alignment and increasing body awareness in the postures.  A combination of static and flow poses are instructed.  The static poses are held for 3-6 breaths.  Flow poses are a sequence of movement linked with the flow of the breath.  The emphasis of the physical practice will be to move through the poses while maintaining ease and grace in the breath, resulting in a more restored and relaxed body, mind and soul.
  • Our final relaxation is a time of quiet reflection, absorbing the benefits of the movement and breath.

Heart & Soul Yoga

Heart & Soul Yoga is to deepen your connection to Christ, offering an opportunity to believers and non-believers, to connect with God.  Each class integrates His Word, and the physical practice of yoga with quiet christian instrumental music.
Mark 12:30: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength’  

Yoga means ‘to yoke or be in union with’.  In our class, we pursue the union of our heart & mind and His Holy Spirit that dwells within us, with the intent of worshipping and serving Christ with our whole being.
Psalm 63 1,4: ‘God, you are my God and earnestly I seek you, So I will praise you as long as I live; at your name I will lift up my hands’
​
  • Heart & Soul Yoga is for you if you are looking to combine the health benefits of yoga with scripture. 
  • Each class is dedicated to the worship and celebration of God through movement, breath and focus on His Word to all believers and seekers of Jesus Christ.   
  • If you have ever considered the powerful benefits of yoga but have been apprehensive about the intent, this is an amazing opportunity to connect to and glorify God with your mind, body and soul.  
Psalm 46:10  “Be still and know that I am God”
​
We've heard “An empty mind is the devil’s playground”.  The Bible says, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2) …not the emptying of your mind.  In our class we become still and quiet, making room to hear Him by disengaging from the constant inundation of life.  We meditate on His Word and receive guidance for His Will in our lives.
2 Corinthians 6:16 ‘We are the Temple of the Living God. Glorify God in your body’
