Holy Yoga - Christ Centered Yoga

Holy Yoga goes GREEN. In an attempt to do our part to contribute to the preservation of our planet, we are proud to announce that Holy Yoga will be doing everything possible to reduce, reuse and recycle. The first change we are making is in our printed training materials. We trimmed a lot of the unnecessary filler in the training and retreat material as well as begun printing on dual sides of 100% recycled paper. A few of the other ways we are starting is with an online Holy Yoga Master training manual, offering all natural 100% ECO friendly yoga accessories as options for purchase and adding an organic cotton to our clothing line.

What
Holy Yoga is an internationally recognized school of yoga. We seek to train dedicated believers in Christ to teach Holy Yoga around the world. We are committed to facilitating a training that is not only 100% yoga, but is 100% Jesus. Our mission is to create a space where individuals can connect to Christ in an intimate yet collective way. The practice of Holy Yoga is an experience that fuses surrender of self and receiving of God and His Word. We believe that Christ is not just about salvation, but about relation and is to be the source of our daily practice and being (Luke 9:23).

Why
With over 130 Registered Holy Yoga Instructors globally to date, we have made it our #1 priority to provide each Instructor with every resource necessary to assist them in facilitating their individual Holy Yoga ministries. In doing so, we take all the "work" out of getting out there and leading. If the Lord has called you to lead Holy Yoga, chances are it is not from behind a computer making flyers and business cards. It is out in your community, living and breathing your personal relationship with Christ (John 7:38). As believers, we are to be a light to all men, in our simple daily living (Matt 5:16). That is why Holy Yoga has developed our Instructor portal. All Registered Holy Yoga Instructors (R-HYI) have access to the portal where every tool for ministry facilitation imaginable is housed for their use. We exist to serve our Instructors so they in turn can take Christ and what He is doing with Holy Yoga to the ends of the earth (Acts 13:47). There are never any ongoing or renewal fees for any services of Holy Yoga to our instructors.

Who
If you are considering becoming a Holy Yoga Instructor, there are a few things you should know. Holy Yoga is Holy and it is yoga. We understand that there is no supremacy in Holy Yoga, but that the Lord alone reigns supreme (Col 1:18). It is what the Lord is electing to do with Holy Yoga that is monumental. Holy Yoga is a discipleship making ministry. As much as you learn about yoga, you learn more about the Lord and His desire to know you personally. You will receive world class yoga training, but it is absolutely secondary to the study of God's Word. Holy Yoga seeks to inspire greatness in their instructors, and realizes that horizontal greatness is an overflow of His vertical greatness. (Matt 21:6) We teach that good teachers will tell you what to do and great teachers will tell you how it feels. We aspire to inspire great teachers, both on and off the mat. Participants can expect to spend 10-12 hour a week on studies during immersion. Those hours are inclusive of in depth bible study, yoga study and physical practice hours.

If the Lord has you looking into Holy Yoga, consider it a personal invitation. Holy Yoga has never used any of the resources God has given us for marketing or advertising. We re-invest into ministries and individuals with the desire to facilitate ministry. We know that if you are here with this in your realm of possibility that it is the Lord alone drawing you. We know that it is nothing we have done to bring you here. Our role is to simply serve you as He has instructed us once you arrive.

How
Holy Yoga offers three different programs for those interested in spreading God's Word and love through the spiritual practice of Holy Yoga. All R-HYI's are required to have a minimum of 200 hours of yoga training and are fully insured.

I just wanted to tell you how much I LOVE our instructor training classes. I feel like it is a vital breath to my soul and to my heart each week. I had no idea how I needed something that was outside of my children and husband. Today I was feeling like I couldn't give any more... had some great, almost uninterrupted mat time and then I realized that Jesus is my strength all the time, not just when I am tired and want to hide in my room all by myself! And when I think that Jesus chose ME to be a part of Holy Yoga, I am so floored....it is a little scary, and I am so glad it is about Him and not me. I would be really worried if it were not His doings.

I love the yoga and the challenge in my body and mind and spirit. I love that the Word is coming alive again and I want it more!

Just a note to say that the work we did on lines of energy was extremely helpful to my practice. Each pose ceases to be a long line of instructions, and becomes an energy sculpture, and I get to experience it.
-Mary

I just need to let you know that with this level of instruction I am rushing to my mat each day to explore the nuances of the poses. Having instructed for a period of time I have at times thought that I had reached the end in some poses, and yet with the subtle emphasis that your instruction is giving the poses change for me. That sense of surrendering to God and to the pose makes my practice at home not just practice but joy.
-Shirley

I can't tell you what a blessing it is for me to have this worship opportunity. I really feel that my relationship with God has deepened since I have taken this time to be quiet and just listen. Also, I feel the yoga has really helped me find a place of peace and serenity that I didn't know I had. I'm better able to let things go and "give it to God" than I have been EVER. This is really important right now, because I'm facing the loss of my grandmother, who I idolize, and I'm trying to be the pillar of strength for her and for the rest of my family. If you ever wonder why you teach the yoga, this is why. I don't think I could face what I have to face if this hadn't brought me closer to God and given my faith a shot in the arm.
