Yoga is Spiritual. From peaceful warrior to Tree pose, you can’t deny the state of mind you feel in these postures. That is why I feel it is impossible to practice yoga without connecting to God. You open your heart in camel pose and let His grace pour in. You lift your palms and feel your control escape. Holding a pose doesn’t only give you time to build strength and find balance, it gives you time to reflect within your mind and restore within your spirit.
It’s the same connection I feel when I am sitting in prayer or standing in song; a feeling of worship. We can worship in many different ways, and everyone has a way they worship best. Yoga is worship for me.
How do you worship best?
I worship best when something in the Bible speaks to me personally and powerfully, and is reinforced in a song or sermon or a book. Thinking about His grace, His love beyond comprehension, His sovereignty.
I agree. I worship through God’s Word too. And paired with the poses in yoga, it reinforces the message and makes it personal.
