Can a personal yoga practice help Christians experience spiritual growth? How does yoga and Christianity work together? Read these Getting Still blogs to learn how to combine Christianity and yoga.

The following blogs will cover topics to help you grow spiritually like how to walk in Christ’s freedom, meeting Jesus in the wilderness for Lent, the benefits of yoga for Christians, journeying through the chakras with Christ, and more.

As a Christ-follower and yoga teacher with over 25 years of experience, my goal is to help spiritual seekers deepen their relationship with the Divine. We will explore contemplative practices like yoga, meditation, prayer, chakras, and energy healing. Join me as we discuss these topics through a Christian perspective, look to scripture for a Biblical viewpoint, and unpack the fears that many Christians feel in regards to unfamiliar spiritual practices.

After much research around spiritual growth practices, I found that many Christians are fearful and confused. In these blogs, we will explore the spiritual safety of utilizing ancient healing modalities, such as yoga and energy healing, for Christians. We will emphasize the importance of inviting Christ into our practices and relying on The Trinity as our healer.

Love the Creator, Love His Creation…

Today is Earth day, and I am passionate about God's Creation.
