How to Teach Christian Yoga

Yoga was started as a practice by Hindus, and because of that many Christians feel uncomfortable with the chants and some of the vocabulary and music associated with it. Christian Yoga is a new exciting version of yoga that implements Christian principles, music and Bible verses in the same healthy stretching poses.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Training program
• Bible
• Knowledge of both yoga and Christianity

1. Seek out a good Christian yoga training program such as at holyyoga.net (see Resources below).

2. Memorize Bible verses. It helps as you meditate and lead your class in various yoga poses to recite strong uplifting Bible verses to help strengthen and uplift your class. You can also have them repeat the Bible verses as Christian chants.

3. Play various traditional and contemporary Christian music. Begin and end your class with prayer.
