 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…

Day 15

30 Days of Yoga: Day 15

 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.

Day 14

30 Days of Yoga: Day 14

 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…

Day 13

30 Days of Yoga: Day 13

 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…

Day 12

30 Days of Yoga: Day 12

 Welcome to Day Twelve of our 30 Days of Yoga! Today’s practice is all about putting together the flow we’ve been working on this week. We’ll start on our mat and let our breath and the Spirit of the Lord guide us all the way to the top and back down again. As some of…

Day 11

30 Days of Yoga: Day 11

 Welcome to Day Eleven of our 30 Days of Yoga! Today’s practice is all about exploring new ways to flow and move our bodies.

Day 10

30 Days of Yoga: Day 10

 Welcome to Day Ten of our 30 Days of Yoga! Today’s practice is all about welcoming a deeper awareness of God’s presence by “praying ourselves into wholeness.” We’ll complete the sun salutation we’ve been working on over the last few days. As we flow through, you’ll be invited to modify each movement to meet your…

Day 9

30 Days of Yoga: Day 9

 Welcome to Day Nine of our 30 Days of Yoga! In today’s practice we’ll continue building the idea of flow we started with yesterday.

Day 8

30 Days of Yoga: Day 8

 Welcome to Day Eight of our 30 Days of Yoga! I am so glad you are back on your mat with me. Last week we focused on building a foundation of curiosity about what we bring with us to the mat each day. In today’s practice we’ll work with the yoga principle of flow, or…

Day 7

30 Days of Yoga: Day 7

 Welcome to Day Seven of our 30 Days of Yoga! Today’s meditative practice is all about rest as we sit in silence and stillness with the Lord. We’ll move together through a breath prayer, one of my favorite meditations where each inhale and exhale is linked with words that help us feel rooted and embodied…
