We are a network of Christians from all denominations who explore the connections between yoga philosophy and Christian theology—and the practices of both. We find that practicing yoga in the transformative light of Christ heals the divides in our lives.
Find a Teacher
If you teach yoga from a Christian perspective and wish to be listed here, please email volunteer@christianspracticingyoga.com.
This site is a resource to connect Christians who practice yoga, and while we are happy to post contact information for teachers, their listing here is not necessarily an endorsement. As an ecumenical site, we welcome Christians from every denomination, and we understand that not everyone on this list believes or practices the same thing. As with everything in life--choosing a school, a church, or a doctor--we encourage discernment in the participants.
