Faith-Based Yoga

Tuesdays & Thursdays

4:30 p.m. - 5:25 p.m. (55 minute class)

Cleveland Family YMCA (220 Urbane Rd NE, Cleveland, TN)

Faith-Based Yoga is a low-impact class that includes the physical benefits of yoga including increased strength, flexibility, range of motion, circulation, release of tension and much more. It is designed as an All-Levels Flow - all experience levels are welcome. It is a slow-flow style class - moving through postures with intention and holding each for 2-5 breaths. Modifications are available and encouraged to find movement honoring to your body. Gentle variations are offered as well as strengthening opportunities, allowing you to choose the intensity of your practice. I hope that students feel encouraged and celebrated in their abilities and personal growth in my class.

Faith-Based Yoga also includes bible scripture, a short devotion and a variety of worship music to set our focus for the practice on Jesus. We often use a breath prayer which is the words of a scripture verse for our inhale and exhale. This is a wonderful method to meditate on scripture but also to experience the benefits of deep breathing to release stress and anxiety we hold in our bodies.

My hope for Faith-Based Yoga is that it allows us to develop habits of preparing our bodies and minds to turn our attention to our loving and faithful God. I hope that it is a space to hear and grow in knowledge of the love and peace of Jesus.

I hope you’ll join me for a class soon!
