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…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Welcome to Day Fifteen of our 30 Days of Yoga! In today’s practice we’ll do some standing shapes that build on the active movements we worked on last week. We’ll continue to explore the connection between our bodies, faith and prayer. No matter what the first two weeks of our journey have been like for…
Welcome to Day Fourteen of our 30 Days of Yoga! Today’s meditative practice is all about rest and centering prayer. We’ll each choose a word or image that will serve as an anchor – our minds are prone to wandering and often averse to stillness, but when we notice that our thoughts have started to…
Welcome to Day Thirteen of our 30 Days of Yoga! Today’s practice is all about taking it slow. After a week of moving and strengthening our bodies as an act of worship, we’ll spend our time together stretching it out, ending with a nice, long shavasana. It is my prayer that all of us, like…
