14. The Holy Spirit Led Me Out of Yoga & Into Pilates

Today I share how leaving the world of yoga left an enormous void in my life -- personally, professionally, and physically -- and how the Holy Spirit filled that void by bringing me Pilates. I share a brief history of Joseph Pilates's signature methodology as well as a few of the many reasons why I have fallen in love with the practice.Let me know in the comments if you would be interested in me sharing faith-based Pilates workouts on YouTube.Join every day on YouTube for reading and praying the Bible. https://www.youtube.com/@EmbodiedbyGrace/videos Support Embodied by Grace: buymeacoffee.com/embodiedbygraceFollow Embodied by Grace on IG and TikTok: @embodiedbygraceFor collaborations: [email protected]"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?" ~ 1 Cor. 6:19My favorite Pilates essentials:Fitness Mat – A comfortable, supportive mat for your workouts.2 lb.

I make mistakes. I don't explain the Word of God in a way that will resonate with everyone. I am not going to get it right all the time, and nor will any teacher, preacher, YouTuber, or pastor. I believe we can learn so much from each other, but no person's teaching can replace getting into the Bible yourself. As Christians let's focus more on the truth that unites us -- that we are saved by grace through faith because of what Christ did for us on the cross -- rather than on the details meant to divide us. Thank you for being here, and thank you for giving me grace. *** DISCLAIMER: Embodied by Grace is a faith-based wellness podcast created for informational and inspirational purposes only.
