Praising God continuously can be a huge task, but when we slow down to appreciate the beauty in the world around us, we are beginning to learn the practice of praise.

"From the rising of the sun,
to the place where it sets,
the name of the Lord
shall be praised."
Psalm 113:3


Prayer and Yoga: Sunrise Sequence Yoga Class

    introduction...
    In these videos, I demonstrate some of the prayer vinyasas that I’ve taught in class. A vinyasa is a sequence of poses, so a prayer vinyasa is a sequence of poses coordinated with a prayer or verse of scripture. It’s my hope that these vinyasas will provide an opportunity for you to draw close to God and listen for the voice of the Divine within you...

    Disclaimer:
    These poses and sequences are just suggestions. Please listen to your own body and proceed carefully. What do they always say? Consult your physician before beginning any exercise program, okay? Blessings on your journey...

    prayer & yoga

    “The use of the body in prayer...is a way of deepening our life of prayer. Just as nonverbal communication relies on gestures, tone of voice, and speed of speaking to reinforce our words, physical acts extend the meaning of our worded prayers. Physical movement and meaningful postures indicate more fully what is on the heart of the person who is offering prayers to God...In this process the mind comes under the reign of the body... and we experience a genuine connectedness between what we do and what we think.” - Doug Pagitt in Body Prayer
