Day 27

30 Days of Yoga: Day 27

 Welcome to Day Twenty-Seven of our 30 Days of Yoga! Today is our final stretch and savasana practice together. We’ll spend our time moving through some slow, gentle stretches. If you’d like, go ahead and gather a blanket, towel or soft pillow to help us glide into a gentle backbend, and to help us sink…

Day 26

30 Days of Yoga: Day 26

 Welcome to Day Twenty-Six of our 30 Days of Yoga! Can you believe we have just five days left? We’ll start today’s practice in tadasana, or mountain pose. As you join me there, see if you can tap in and be just a little more present, grounded, and at ease than you were when you…

Day 25

30 Days of Yoga: Day 25

 Welcome to Day Twenty-Five of our 30 Days of Yoga! I’m so proud of you and how far you’ve made it on our journey together! Today’s practice is all about inviting awe and wonder into the everyday as we meet on our mats together. We’ll begin with some stretches for our wrists before moving into…

Day 24

30 Days of Yoga: Day 24

 Welcome to Day Twenty-Four of our 30 Days of Yoga! Like the first few days of this week, today’s practice is all about continuing to expand. We’ll build a mini-flow from our knees, sort of like a half-sun-salutation, only using our upper bodies. As always, if it doesn’t feel right for your body to be…

Day 23

30 Days of Yoga: Day 23

 Welcome to Day Twenty-Three of our 30 Days of Yoga! Today’s practice builds on this week’s theme of expansion. It can be difficult to jump into a backbending posture with the short time we have together, so we’ll use some props to help open through the front of our bodies in a restorative shape.  Today,…

Day 22

30 Days of Yoga: Day 22

 Welcome to Day Twenty-Two of our 30 Days of Yoga! Reflecting on the abundance we tapped into last week, it is my hope that in today’s practice we’ll naturally be drawn to worship in the abundant presence of God. We’ll do some more expansive poses like back bends and deep stretching that help us embody…

Day 21

30 Days of Yoga: Day 21

 Welcome to Day Twenty-One of our 30 Days of Yoga! We’ll spend this final day of our third week together in a loving-kindness meditation drawing from the story of Jesus’ baptism. In our world today, our worthiness is measured by our successes in life, but based on what we read in Scripture, Jesus lived a…

Day 20

30 Days of Yoga: Day 20

 Welcome to Day Twenty of our 30 Days of Yoga! Today’s practice is all about coming into stillness together in God’s presence. After a week of strengthening poses, today we’ll come low to the ground for some stretching and a nice, long savasana.  God tells us in Isaiah 43 that “when you pass through the…

Day 19

30 Days of Yoga: Day 19

 Welcome to Day Nineteen of our 30 Days of Yoga! Today’s practice will be the last one this week to include active, standing shapes. See if you can notice the shapes your body eases into, and the shapes that take a bit more effort. Tomorrow we’ll get to stretch and meditate, allowing the benefits of…

Day 18

30 Days of Yoga: Day 18

 Welcome to Day Eighteen of our 30 Days of Yoga! Today’s practice is all about trusting the Lord to provide for what we need. As you step onto your mat, I challenge you to ask: What is it I need from God at this moment? Together we’ll welcome a deeper awareness of God’s goodness in…

Day 17

30 Days of Yoga: Day 17

 Welcome to Day Seventeen of our 30 Days of Yoga! Today’s practice is like the messy middle. There is nothing super special or fancy about it. We can recognize that we’ve come a long way since the beginning of our journey together, and at the same time, we still have a ways to go. We’ll…

Day 16

30 Days of Yoga: Day 16

 Welcome to Day Sixteen of our 30 Days of Yoga! Today’s practice is all about learning to move in the delight of the Lord. Many of our movements will invite us to stay low to the mat, beginning on our knees, then moving through a lunge sequence and even a yogi squat. As always, you’ll…
