Yoga Faith
These photos are personal moments from my Yoga Faith Teacher training. There is a story behind each one. Each one represents a fiber in the tapestry of my life that God used to get me closer to Him.
This teacher training was incredible on so many levels. It opened up my heart to helping others by opening up the practice of Christian Yoga and combining it with scripture and christian music. Each day of training was filled with lessons that helped me walk through life’s pain ( the death of my husband at that time) and to learn to release that pain and express that through worshipping HIM on my Yoga Mat. If you live long enough and you press in you will find that GOD can and will meet you anywhere.
If you’re new to Yoga then you may not be aware that YOGA has many health benefits. IT is a mind, body and spirit journey and it’s a practice ( movement) that brings JOY to your spirit, peace to your soul and physical well-being to your body and allows you to honor God at the same time.
YogaFaith’s mission is to guide others into a sacred space with the Lord through Christian yoga. YF believes in a REDEEMED yoga practice based on the RECONCILIATION of ALL THINGS by the blood of Christ (Col. 1:19-20).
In HIM we live and move and have our being. Acts 17:28
In the Fall of 2016 I led 30 ladies through a 12 week program at our local gym. THEN I was blessed to be ask to come and share my “grief” story/testimony and lead a YOGA FAITH CLASS at the FRAMEWORK ladies conference in November of 2016 at TIMBER CREEK. It was so humbling to sit before those ladies and simply share what GOD had been doing in my life. I have led many other classes for special events/corporate groups and will continue to do that as God Leads.
I owned and operated a YOGA STUDIO of my own for three years. I called it HUNKY DORY. TRUTH is the real meaning of hunky dory means to HUNKER DOWN. As in a time of war. Get into your “safe place”. I offered several classes a week from chair yoga to vinyasa yoga. I also led restorative yoga in combination with health retreats and personal one on one classes.
March of 2018 I completed my Trauma Sensitive Teacher training with Yogafaith as well. The body truly does keep the score. It is an honor to be part of a group of other teachers who have a heart for “helping to HEAL” others. There is no greater honor than being the hands and feet of Jesus.This gives me more tools to work with clients who have fallen victim to trauma in many ways. I created yoga classes for those with PTSD, anxiety, depression and more. I also completed additional continued education with Living Soul Institute where I gathered another 40 hours of yoga training on Resilience… Pain Science through the mindset of Christ.
Currently I spend most of my time writing and working with individuals on a personal level for health and wellness. (Life Coaching, spiritual growth, weight loss, Yoga Faith yoga, trauma recovery, etc. ) Great read about combing Yoga and Faith. Click on the image below….
