Available Classes

All classes are taught from a Christian perspective, integrating scripture and devotional readings, prayer, meditation on scripture, and Christian music in the classes. All classes will help you to draw closer to God, relax, breathe better, improve fitness, health and well-being. The classes occur on an 8-week series basis which repeat several times per year. We also gather for outdoor classes in the summer enjoying God’s beautiful creation! The series are very reasonably priced to encourage all people who might want to try Christian style yoga to join in.

Gentle Yoga

A gentle and nourishing 50 min. class for beginners or more experienced students. Participants should be able to get up and down from the mat without pain. This class includes relaxation, stretching, and breath work. We also focus on work to improve flexibility, balance and strength. Modifications are given for poses and suggestions for those who want more challenge in a pose. We use yoga props such as yoga blocks, straps, cushions and blankets and transition from the following positions: lying down, seated, on all fours and standing. The class starts and ends with an inspirational relaxation time. Gentle Yoga is appropriate for most people recovering from an injury or dealing with chronic health conditions. Cost is $80 for the 8-class series.

Gentle Flow Yoga

For active, fit beginners or more experienced yoga students. This 50 min. yoga flow class incorporates flowing and breath-synchronized movement through the poses to build strength, balance, flexibility and endurance. We will hold some poses for longer periods, flow in others at a faster pace, creating heat in the body as we progress and learn more challenging poses such as downward facing dog, warrior 3, half-moon pose, and shoulder stand. The class starts and ends with an inspirational relaxation time. Cost is $80 for the 8-class series.
