I couldn’t believe how much I loved yoga.
It came to me when I needed a less inflammatory way of staying fit—my career as a singer/dancer certainly wasn’t doing an old knee injury any favors (or the new injuries, for that matter). Traditional gym workouts just weren’t working for me.
Emotionally, it gave me an outlet to breathe through the tough stuff. It gave me calm. Of course, now I know the science behind it…but it still amazes me.
Later as I learned to have my yoga practice be one of the ways I worship and commune with God, it took my practice to another level entirely.
Not to mention my level of FAITH. Miraculous!
My Stand-Up Paddleboard story
I have been a lover of water-sports of all kinds since I was a kid. No surprise, really, that when I tried Stand-Up Paddleboarding and SUP Yoga, it was a perfect fit.
And for me, getting outdoors is one of my favorite ways to connect with God.
Look all around. Our Creator’s beauty is everywhere. I just have to breathe it in. And what could exemplify learning the “unforced rhythms of grace”* better than watching trees lightly dance in the breeze…or feeling a SUP beneath your feet as it glides along the waves…
Your Story
I have definitely heard from God directly on my mat (on land or water!) many times—
whether through Biblical Word or Peaceful Knowing...Glimpses of Heaven in my Spirit. Peace that passes understanding.
I WANT THAT FOR OTHERS.
It’s not just about movement.
It’s Mind, Body, Spirit.
Father, Son, Spirit…The Three-in-One…
and we are made in His Image, amen?
Get ready to live FREELY...LIGHTLY... and JOYFULLY.
