Pax Christi Yoga classes welcome both beginner and more advanced students to participate in this communion with God through the moving prayer of yoga. Pax Christi Yoga is now offered at 9 am on Saturdays in-person and online!
Yoga begins again on January 6th, 2024!
“…do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God?”
I Corinthians 6:19
Yoga is an ancient practice uniting the mind with the body, becoming a discipline of presence in each moment.
Though there are church leaders that have labeled yoga demonic, we think differently. In Pax Christi Yoga we use Christian scripture to focus our thoughts as we move and breathe and align with the inner world of the Holy Spirit.
We welcome all individuals to participate in this communion with God through the moving prayer of yoga.
“If we do not involve our bodies, …we may not be able to enter a true, attentive stillness because our posture frustrates it…The result is often a drowsy condition punctuated with ‘pins and needles’ and restlessness. More than that, we remain inhibited in our self-expression….If in prayer we shut down all bodily gesture and movement and confine ourselves to a single position we cut in half our power to feel and own and express our devotion, our love and our needs…”
Martin Smith, The Body at Prayer: The Contemporaries Meet the Classics on Prayer (2003)
What should I bring?
Bring a yoga mat if you have one, as well as a water bottle.
What should I wear?
Sometimes, attending yoga for the first time can make you a bit anxious. But don’t worry! We’ll be focusing on being present in the moment, being calm and flexible. Wear something comfy but also fitted, as you don’t want your clothing to interfere with your yoga poses.
How much does it cost?
Nothing! It’s free. We consider this a worship experience for all interested in stretching their mind, body and spirit. We will have a donation basket if you’d like to contribute something, but no pressure.
