Day 30

30 Days of Yoga: Day 30

 Welcome to Day Thirty of our 30 Days of Yoga! We’ve made it– can you believe it? In today’s practice we’ll revisit the first two days of this series. While yesterday’s practice was active and celebratory, today we’ll slow it down, remembering that the small and quiet movements matter, too. As we practice these familiar…

Day 29

30 Days of Yoga: Day 29

 Welcome to Day Twenty-Nine of our 30 Days of Yoga! I’m so proud of you and I for making it twenty-nine days together, and I’m grateful for the Lord’s provision every step of the way. In today’s practice we’ll move through some of my favorite shapes that make me feel joyful and grateful to be…

Day 28

30 Days of Yoga: Day 28

 Welcome to Day Twenty-Eight of our 30 Days of Yoga! Today marks our last meditation practice. Can you believe we are already entering the final few days of our journey together? We’ll have one more opportunity to sit together in stillness and silence, resting our souls and presenting our desires to the Lord. We’ll also…

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’s not right for your body to be down…

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…
