Christian Yoga Morning Flow: Gentle 12 min. Warm-Up

[@catsandcoffee91]

Thank you so much for centering yoga around God. This practice was amazing and was a blessing!

[@sandymclaughlin35]

Praise Jesus! Thank you, Caroline, for a Christ-centered practice!

[@StephtheHomemaker]

I hadn't even contemplated the idea of Christian Yoga until I stumbled upon an IG account about a month ago, and as such had always avoided it. Yesterday, I felt weirdly called to do Yoga... even though I've never done it before. I was sore, tired and didn't feel good. I wanted and needed to move and stretch, but didn't want to exercise exactly. I didn't listen. However, this morning I did. As someone who's been dealing with chronic illness and has quite literally no flexibility or fitness to speak of, I struggled a little with this flow... but nowhere near as much as I thought I would! And when you started speaking on Christ and reading those bible verses.. well I almost burst into tears. And that's how I know I'm in the right place. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

[@peterdaoust404]

Thanks for bringing God into this practice, and into our day.

[@sandyp998]

Really glad I found you.... I struggled to do these though as an overweight 50yr old woman who has not done any exercise for years. I will persevere. Thank you so much.

[@GyanTvAmit]

😀Yoga is very good hindu exercise ❤️

[@edengarden6811]

I have been doing Yoga as an atheist. Now that i am a christian i read that it is not good and that it draws you away from God. I struggled a bit.. But i keep Jesus in mind while i do yoga and i know Jesus is with me all the time so how can i be stolen away from God? I know that Jesus meditated too and i feel like i come closer to God and Jesus in the silence. And when i do hard work with yoga, when i struggle with it. So i enjoy yoga again! I was looking into holy yoga and found you. But i also do 'normal' yoga. Thank you!

I'm glad you're enjoying this yoga flow, friend! If you have more questions about yoga and christianity I recommend this page on my website that helps clarify a lot of questions: www.carolinewilliamsyoga.com/yoga-christianity/

[@sarahhutton1095]

pray for God to reveal truth to you.its that simple

[@elizabethdavis2779]

Yoga is a religion. As long as. you understand that Christianity is faith in Christ and Yoga is not, that might help. Yoga was introduced into the west by means of stretching to draw people slowly into the Hindu faith. Christianity and Yoga are not the same thing.

[@Evansbsr]

@@elizabethdavis2779 Christianity is one way of engaging the spiritual side of life just like yoga. It's natural for humans to mix things up to keep things interesting,

[@elizabethdavis2779]

@@Evansbsr It may be natural but not spiritually acceptable by Christian teachings. One could be led by the flesh or by the Spirit. They are 2 different things. A Christian is called to learn the difference and die to the flesh and live by the Holy Spirit. Yoga is a teaching apart from Christianity. Narrow is the road that leads to life and few will find it. With everyone so easily embracing Yoga it should give Christians pause for thought. Is this from God or false teaching causing many to stray from the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

Thank you so much for this beautiful morning Christian Yoga! I loved the words that you said about us being right here right now and that we have a purpose! I also loved what you said about shining God's light in all we do! I felt Jesus right here in my yoga room with me! Thank you!

Caroline - I’ve been wanting to send a word of encouragement for a bit. My husband and I are right at the 60 mark, and we’ve been joining you on a couple of your practices quite regularly for several years as a morning A-Game habit. We are in such a different life stage than you and we are thankful for the gift you give us in your Christian yoga meditations. Almost two months ago my extraordinarily healthy husband suffered a pathological fracture of his femur revealing an aggressive - yet very treatable cancer. It’s been a rough few months as primary caregiver, and I’ve just returned to this simple morning practice. I’m thankful for your gift of grounding me in a “this is the day the Lord has made” focus, while helping my body and back regain flexibility and strength after a few months of neglect. THANK YOU! You are a difference maker!

[@CarolineWilliamsYoga]

Janyne, this made my day! Thank you for sharing. What an encouragement. Holding you in prayer as you care for your husband! I know you are such a gift to him during this time. Thank you for making the time to be here and practice with me.

[@aliyag8683]

I’m so blessed by this! Thank you ❤️ I pray God continues to work powerfully through you and in your life.

[@sonjavorster1554]

I have been practicing yoga last few month but started to feel so uncomfortable even though I tried doing it with God. My first time today and was such a blessing, amazing experience. Thank you so much for your videos. God Bless

[@merz8738]

Thank you so much, Caroline, for this beautiful flow and for speaking God's truths to us. I believe you are called to this ministry as we are blessed. I don't only get to stretch my physical muscles but my spiritual muscles as well. The Lord bless you and continually use you for His glory.

I LOVE this video and will often follow this yoga flow on my lunch break at work. The less than 15 minute workouts are PERFECT to be able to fit in during that time, and totally re-energize me for the day. It is wonderful to feel refreshed both physically and spiritually. The truth of the scripture touches my soul. I would love more short videos like this involving scripture meditation!

[@CarolineWilliamsYoga]

I hear ya friend, thanks for the feedback! Hope to have some shorter videos up here soon :)

[@anmcc171]

This was my first time using one of your videos. I woke up this morning with a headache and feeling just plain down in the dumps. At the recommendation of a friend I decided to try this video. I feel so much better! Not only did it help to get my body stretched and warmed, but your words and meditations on Jesus warmed my spirit as well. I feel much more prepared for the day. Thanks so much!

[@kritikaushik5499]

@Rachel Cultural Appropriation has been a tradition in Christianity. Pagans and so many others have been victims of it. Sanatan Vedic Hindu Dharma never objected to the world taking and benefiting from Yoga (we still haven't got it patented. Our PM said the same thing at UN conference on Declarating 21st June as World Yoga Day). What is shameful is that organisations like Holy Yoga taking it up, completely twisting it and making it all about Christianity. They didn't take out spirituality from it rather changed the important spiritual tenets of Sanatana Hindu Dharma into Christianity which is a religion. It's like you take major excerpts from a book I wrote and didn't acknowledge my contribution. That's blatant plagiarism. That's simple theft. Watch this to get clarity on the issue.

I think its great that you are benefiting and sharing the benefits of Yoga. However, please know there is no such thing as "Christian Yoga" or Muslim Yoga etc. Yoga is a science deep rooted in thousands of millenia of ancient Vedic scriptures. To take away from its roots and renaming it to suit your religious preferences is plagiarism. Appreciate and utilize the practice, but for God's sake, call it what it is, simply Yoga.

[@zyavanasharmann853]

Stop labeling everything as Christain ans Muslim you hate mongers. If you cant respect the people and culture who gave you yoga, stop doing it. Noone is forcing you. You claim it as Christain? Lmao How ironic. The whole orgination of Yoga is to get enlightenment through Physical practises mentioned In Sanatana Dharma Aka Hinduism. If you wanna label it and divide it as religious thing then its better to stop doing it. Not only youre ruining divinity if Yoga but disrespecting us Hindus. Yoga is open to everyone as long as you dont disrespect the culture that is providing you this.
