Holy Yoga

Like prayer, yoga has been used in the Hindu religion and in other religious traditions to inspire peace, awaken mindfulness, and draw people closer to the divine presence that surrounds.While many people associate yoga with Hinduism alone, Christian yoga instructor Allison LaBianca says yoga predates Hinduism and can be used by people of every faith to draw nearer to God. Through her work with Holy Yoga, Allison has learned how the practice of yoga can enhance prayer lives and awareness of Jesus in and around us. She discusses the history of yoga, its spiritual benefits, Christian themes in yoga, and how Christians specifically can use yoga.This episode is ideal for those who are looking to enhance their prayer lives through the ancient practice of yoga.
