CHRISTIAN YOGA

“Outstretched in Worship”

 A Christ-centered approach to physical and spiritual health through yoga based on the book by Susan Bordenkircher

Come join us on Mondays at 7:00 pm in our continuous Christian Yoga classes led by Sandra Lynn Lightfoot and Christine Volinsky. Everyone is welcome, young and old, male and female. You don't need to be worried about your skill level, Sandra and Christine explain each movement and offer variations to accomodate everyone.

All classes begin with a focus on breathing and an affirmation of faith.  The affirmation of faith is:  God our creator, Jesus our redeemer, Holy Spirit within us, We praise you.  All classes end with a quiet meditation and relaxation time.  During relaxation, we take scripture and link it with our breath to calm our minds and draw our attention to God.  Come and enjoy the benefits of yoga!  Drop-ins are always welcome, but please try to let us know in advance so we can be sure someone is at the door to let you in.

Class held:  Monday evenings, 7-8:15 pm, Wesley Room

"Shawls . . .made for centuries universal and embracing, symbolic of an inclusive, unconditionally loving, God. They wrap, enfold, comfort, cover, give solace, mother, hug, shelter and beautify.  Those who have received these shawls have been uplifted and affirmed, as if given wings to fly above their troubles…”
