“I can help others because I take time to help myself.”

Khamry teaches Christian Yoga and goes to college

Teaching Christian Yoga is a wonderful part-time job. You can strengthen your body, focus on your faith, and make extra money. Our twenty-something teacher Khamry sees the benefits of teaching while she works on attaining her nursing degree:

What benefits do you receive by practicing Christian Yoga?

“Through practicing Christian Yoga, I receive a variety of benefits from physical to spiritual. Not only am I renewing my body and strengthening the physical but my mind is constantly being renewed and encouraged to be positive and focus on Christ. When I practice, I become relaxed and free to be who am I, who God created in me and that brings me the most joy.”

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

“Everything. Every day I tell myself, “Be your yoga practice.” That means to me, be soft, calm, yet strong and ready for a challenge. My relationship with God has grown throughout the years and one of the most important factors to that growth is because of practicing Christian Yoga.”

How has Christian Yoga helped your health?

Practicing yoga has placed a conscious reminder to eat healthier and pairing both yoga and nutrition has blessed me with more energy and focus, especially when it comes to school studies.

How has Christian Yoga helped your personality “off the mat?”

“It has helped shape who I am and is shaping the woman I am to become. It has taught me to be soft, less reactive and more gentle. No longer am I the anxious, jump to a reaction without thinking kind of person, but now, I have learned to step back, breathe and pray about it first. It’s helped my sanity and definitely the sanity of my loved ones around me :).”

How has Christian Yoga helped you help others?

“Christian Yoga is not about me when it comes down to it. It’s my spiritual act of worship to God. Of course, he blessed us with results such as a changed and renewed spirit and physical workout, but after a class I feel more prepared to help others because I have taken the time to help myself.

DeAnna and Courtney always say you cannot take care of others to the best of your ability if you do not take care of yourself first. I believe it to be very true and the burden of my weight is lifted so I can be of greater help to those around me.”

“I love to practice yoga because my body is healthier and more flexible. I believe that if I continue to practice as I get older, my health will continue to benefit.”
