Exercise for the Christian Body & Soul

I praise You because You made me in an amazing and wonderful way.
Psalm 139:14 NCV
When we think of worshipping God, activities such as prayer, singing, and dancing are the first to come to mind. But can we worship our Creator, the one who made us, with exercise? With yoga?
Using the foundation of Biblical scripture, we will learn how to move from often a fragmented state of being to a more unified place with God. We will use traditional yoga postures to cultivate physical strength and flexibility in the body, while at the same time learning to calm the mind and rest in the Holy Spirit.
Experience worship in an entirely new way, learning to praise Christ with our entire being.
