“Christian Yoga taught me peace and to listen for Him.”

Teaching Christian Yoga helps Elissa reach others, too

There are as many reasons to take Yahweh Yoga teacher training classes as there are people! For graduate Elissa G., becoming a yoga teacher helps her guide others to spiritual and physical health while also strengthening herself:

What benefits do you receive by practicing Christian Yoga?

“I get to spend time with God and within that time I gain not only physical strength but mental strength as well. It has taught me to breathe both on and off the mat when times are stressful or when times seem unbearable. ”

What has practicing Christian Yoga meant to your relationship with God?

“Christian yoga has helped me understand that I can never stop growing in God’s word…. once I think I know it… God is able to show me something new every time I read Scripture,  whether it’s a new meaning or a deeper understanding.  In yoga when you think you have got a pose down you can always take it further, deeper, longer… the pose has a new meaning, too. ”

How has Christian Yoga helped your health?

“Weight loss, stress reduction by learning different breathing techniques, flexibility, strength.”
How has Christian Yoga helped your personality “off the mat?”
“It’s given me confidence and has helped me to reach out.”

How has Christian Yoga helped you help others?

“To reach people in a new way: physically stretch them to new levels and to give them time on their mats to breathe, stop and listen to God and what He’s telling them at that moment.”

“Christian Yoga has taught me to walk in peace and to not rely on my own strength but to ask for a little help from the smallest of discomfort to the greatest of challenges. It’s also taught me the importance of a quiet time, to go off by myself, sit and listen for Him and wait for hope to appear when it seems gone.”
