Christian Yoga for When You Need A Shake Up: Part 1

Welcome to Part 1 of the Christian Yoga for When You Need a Shake Up video series.
This 30 minute Christian yoga practice is full of deep breathing and quiet moments, a handful of simple flows to get you moving, and an invitation to wrestle with some of the harder questions in life.
The inspiration for this video is Alicia Britt Chole's book, 40 Days of Decrease. If you'd like to be part of a larger online community reading this book, head to carolinewilliamsyoga.com/yoga-for-lent for details and to sign up!

I have been doing yoga for close to 40 years and honestly, today's practice is my most favorite!!!!

Just what I needed. Thank you for doing this.

[@CarolineWilliamsYoga]

Oh, thank you for the encouragement, Lauri. You bless me! Looking forward to posting new videos soon.

Hi Caroline - thank you soooo much for your practices here -- such a blessing to me! I am a HoYo instructor living in Kenya and don't have access to many live classes. :)

[@CarolineWilliamsYoga]

I'm so honored to be a part of your yoga sessions in Kenya! Hugs to you, friend!

[@christymishler]

Caroline, I'm so glad that I found you. This was a great way to start my day. I am in the process of signing up for training for Holy Yoga, but don't have access to any classes near me. So this was so helpful to me. Thank you!

[@CarolineWilliamsYoga]

I'm so glad you find me, Christy! I hope these sessions really help you grow in your yoga.

[@JourneyFontenot]

There's to much of a stigma around yoga that it's "pagan" (which it can be depending on how we use it) it's awesome to see someone use it for Gods glory!

[@jenniferjenkins3315]

This was exactly what I was looking for, since my HoYo instructor has been too busy over Christmas season. I just had to comment on all the sirens in the background! Thanks for leading us. I DID need to open my heart and chest! Subscribing!

[@CarolineWilliamsYoga]

Haha yes, Jennifer, sorry about the sirens! Trying to record videos in my NYC doesn't always work in my favor ;) Glad you were still blessed by the practice and able to find some opening. Merry Christmas!

[@hollymccarter2457]

Caroline, I am sooo happy I found you! I have enjoyed yoga for a couple years, but I always felt that something was missing in my practice. While I loved how yoga made me feel physically, it never quite took care of my spiritual needs. Traditional yoga offered a spirituality that wasn’t something I (for lack of a better word) vibed with personally. I knew that God was supposed to be the center of my life, so it just felt wrong that I couldn’t find a way to include Him in this aspect. I feel like Jesus sent me here to assure me that there ARE ways to glorify Him in everything, and He can show up anywhere for us, even on a yoga mat!

[@hollymccarter2457]

Also sidenote... I just cried for the first time on a yoga mat and it felt AWESOME!! So thanks for that! Lol

Hey Caroline, I sure am loving your Yoga for Lent series & the book 40 days of decrease. I love your thoughts here & would love to share with my own yoga class. Any chance we could get a transcript?? Thanks! Missy :)

[@CarolineWilliamsYoga]

Hi Missy! Why don't you send me a message and we'll see what we can work out! carolinewilliamsyoga.com/contact

[@kendravanesko1809]

this is the first class ever ever taken of yours! I loved it! I am currently going through the Holy Yoga Teacher training. Thank you! God is using you to reach out to so many people! having a channel like this is a dream of mine!

[@CarolineWilliamsYoga]

Enjoy the training!! God has so much more for us than we could ever imagine. :)

[@MorenitaBonita19]

I'm confused a little. since today is day one, should we wait to watch this video until day 4 or 5 of the book? or should we watch the video this week? even though Friday will be day 3?

[@CarolineWilliamsYoga]

Jazz sorry for the confusion! For this first video, I looked at Days 1-6 for inspiration since that's the first "week" of Lent (confusing, I know, since lent starts on a Wednesday). Anyway, you're welcome to watch it whenever, but it might be especially impactful once you've read day 4.

The link is bad for sharing...

[@CarolineWilliamsYoga]

Hi Barb, not sure what you mean. Could you tell me what link isn't working for you?
