I always wondered about incorporating my Faith in God into practicing Yoga. I always felt uneasy as a Christian during "sun salutations" in yoga classes I've attended, but also disagreed wholeheartedly with Christian groups who disapproved of practicing Yoga. Thus I continued pursuing Yoga practice and would pray during poses and medidation. THEN CAME THIS BOOK! It helped place matters into a better perspective and provided me with tools to strengthen and deepen my Faith and Practice. I especially like the recommended scripture with each presented pose (drawings help also, if you're new to yoga).
I highly recommend this book!
P.S: if you're not a Christian, I still recommend this book to keep an open mind (a MUST if you're a Yoga Instructor)!

This book was too simple for me. Read more like an introduction booklet. I have been practicing yoga off and on for 2 decades though, as well as I read books on yoga as often as possible. There are better books on yoga and the Christian faith.

An affordable guide to Christian Yoga for a healthy lifestyle with Faith combined . I wish it had music .

This is a good place to start on a journey into Christian Yoga. The text is very readable and assumes the reader is just beginning a yoga practice. For those who are familiar with the mat it will allow you to see where the physical practice can be adapted to support the Christian spiritual journey.
