Yoga@Redeemer
We are so excited to begin 2020 with a new yoga program! Our vision is to make yoga accessible to all members of our Shelby community by offering donation-based classes every week.
In addition to the obvious physical benefits of yoga, there are also mental and spiritual ones. While yoga began in what we now know as India, the practice of yoga is constantly evolving. At Redeemer, we're sharing emerging yoga movements and meditation practices as a method for calming the body in order to quiet the spirit, soul or inner-self (depending on how you see it). With practice, yoga is a proven way to heal our inner selves. Many of us live in an inner state of chaos induced by running around from place to place. The stilling provided by a yoga practice allows us to find the divine creative Spirit within us and to leave our practice more aware of the world around us and how we are called to be in the places where we find ourselves.
Yoga is not a religion, but a way of seeing and being in the world with greater awareness. If you do identify as a Christian, yoga is a beautiful compliment to your prayer life and self-care routine which will inevitably draw you even deeper into your relationship with Christ and your service to the world. If you do not, you are welcome to join us without fear of judgement or preaching.
