I love Warrior 2 pose. In Holy Yoga, we encourage people to turn their palms up in order to receive God’s blessings. We can’t receive with a closed hand. We can’t soften with a clenched fist. Warriors in Holy Yoga are strong and soft. We have thick skin and soft hearts. We stand strong

Go ahead, surprise me…
Since I’m a blogger, I really want to write about everything. I experience things and when they are powerful or meaningful in some way, I want to share them. But lately I’ve started wondering if God intends some things to just be for me. If He frowns upon me running to my computer to upload

Intentional Rest
It’s July! In July, Holy Yoga rests. Ministry wide, we take a sabbath…on purpose. It’s intentional. And challenging. I’m tempted to say, “Who? Me? I’m good with resting. I like to lay around and be lazy.” But the truth is, I may look like I’m resting. Feet up and coffee in hand but I’m always

Receiving and Giving
Three is the magic number. My son asked me the other day why three is the magic number and I said “Because of the trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.” The rest of my family came up with a bunch of other reasons so we decided it’s the magic number because Schoolhouse Rock said

Hi Feet! It’s Hands!
It has been awhile since I’ve posted here. There are so many amazing things happening! I’m all over the place so this is going to be long. Go ahead and get your coffee. I’ll wait while you do what you need to do to hunker down and spend some time here. 🙂 I’ve missed all
