Heart+Soul+Mind Yoga exists to help women connect their heart soul and mind with the One who provides true energy for life. Our yoga classes are Jesus-focused, restorative, and a place for women to practice yoga in safe environment.

Does that mean you have to be a Christ follower to take a class? Of course not... bring all your friends!  Just know there will be scripture and mostly Christian music.

Think of Heart+Soul+Mind Yoga as a place to find respite and solace from your hectic, busy life and a place to create space for connection with God and with yourself.

See you ON THE MAT soon!

I sent this image out to my email subscribers today in a love note. I wanted them to be able to print it as a reminder of today...GOOD Friday.⁣ And I want you to have it too. • • •⁣ I think He wants you to know today how much He loves you...so much He died for you. ⁣ ⁣• • •⁣ Read Ephesians 2:1-6 today and be encouraged. ✝️😍💕⁣ Maybe repeat this sentence to yourself today & insert your name as we did in the local yoga class this week. ⁣ #jesusfirstyogasecond #jesusisalive #easter2019 #yogafaith #gospelpreacheryogateacher 📷 from @proverbs31ministries card set. Is spring the busiest time of the year?? Jesus-focused yoga to find peace & be restored!
Fasting stinginess...and giving freely & generously with hands open wide! I'm using parts of the book "40 Days of Decrease" by @aliciabrittchole in my yoga classes right now in preparation of Easter celebrations. This week were using "day 13" of the book which encourages fasting stinginess. Alicia shares the story of Lazarus' sister, Mary, annointing Jesus with a very expensive oil or perfume. Here's how the disciples respond: “Why this waste of perfume? It could have been sold for more than a year’s wages and the money given to the poor.” And they rebuked her harshly. (Mark 14:4–5) Alicia writes “Why this waste? Because love does not calculate. What an honor: to be remembered as one who loved lavishly. Today, fast stinginess: seek an opportunity to be irrationally lavish toward someone who cannot possibly return the favor. Give because you love. Give without letting reason ration out your love in stingy portions.” How can you give to someone today who cannot return the favor? Maybe it's as simple as: *being kind when you drive? *putting the phone down to really listen to someone speaking? *giving of your time to help a neighbor? Share your thoughts on how you'll give today as an expression of your love for Jesus. Yesterday was kind of a bad day... But this morning I was reminded of this scripture and this photo my husband took in our neighborhood. 🌅 🙏 • • • God shows us His presence everyday with beauties like this! How do you sense God's presence in your everyday life? • • • #letitgo #praisehiminthemorning #allthingsnew #seegodinhiscreation #godrevealshimselfinnature We planted this camelia bush in our flower bed about 3 years ago. I've been waiting and watching every year for it to bloom. FINALLY we have a bloom this year!!! This reminded me that sometimes good things grow slow and it's OK to grow slow! ⠀ . . . ⠀ Too often I want F A S T progress, but that's not how God works. Sometimes He grows good things s-l-o-w-l-y and I'm good with that!⠀ . . . ⠀ Is there an area of your life where you're watching for growth? What new "bloom" are you waiting for? It's coming! Keep watching, praying, and leaning into God.⠀ . . . ⠀ 1 Corinthians 15:35‭-‬53 NLT...When you put a seed into the ground, it doesn’t grow into a plant unless it dies first. And what you put in the ground is not the plant that will grow, but only a bare seed of wheat or whatever you are planting. Then God gives it the new body he wants it to have. A different plant grows from each kind of seed... Love this image from @yogafaith. ALL women of all shapes & sizes can use yoga to create time & space for themselves and with Jesus! That's what @heartsoulandmindyoga is all about! 🙌🧘‍♀️🙏 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Repost @yogafaith ・・・ We love each and every sister in this photo (and their backside) #repost • @michelle.thielen Jesus made us all unique! Every height, every shape, every size, every body, every soul, every breath, we praise Him for we are fearfully, wonderfully and intricately woven together-with Him and one another for all eternity.

Do you practice yoga with online teachers like I do? Go to link in bio for a FREE yoga class to help: ⁣⠀ *confirm 2019 goals you've already set⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ OR⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ *seek God to set new goals or intentions⠀ ⁣⠀ OR⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ * spend time with God to make a decision⠀ ⁣⠀ OR⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ * just make time for yourself and Jesus on the mat. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ I'd be honored if you'd subscribe to the channel at link in bio! ⁣⠀ ...⁣⠀ Goal is 2 videos/month to help you make time with Jesus, worship in movement, experience God's presence, pray, learn scripture, and oh yeah... experience the awesome physical, mental, and emotional benefits of yoga! ⁣⠀ ...⁣⠀ #christianyoga #yogafaith #jesusfirstyogasecond #jesusfocusedyoga #hsmyoga #yogavideos #gospelpreacheryogateacher #yogaanytime #worshipinmovement Thankful to have participated in Mauldin High School's spirit week by teaching the puppy yoga class. Wow! That class was part of the $100K 😮 that was raised in 1 week!! So awesome! #Repost @mauldin_high ・・・ Spirit Week 2019 was amazing! Thank you to each student, parent, teacher, staff member, and community member who helped make this week such a success. We are proud to donate over $110,000 to A Child's Haven. #MavPride From my most recent email newsletter, I shared about the importance of taking time to be with Jesus.... Soul Rest. That's what my local church's message was on today! Oh so timely! ・・・ So if you're in need of rest and have trouble finding it (like me!), maybe you'd like some guidance from our church even if it's not your home church? Just text to the number below to receive some guidance. ・・・ #Repost @springwellsc ・・・ Text “Rest” to 40650 to receive Scripture and questions to help you find out what it truly means to rest. Maybe 2019 is the year to make time & space for yourself and with Jesus on your mat? You know life moves pretty fast so we need to be intentional about slowing down so we don't miss it (or Jesus)! @yogafaith is leading a 21 day fast that began on the 8th. #danielfast is recommended but you really have to be ready mentally & physically (and in your pantry) for that commitment. I wasn't ready... and almost said "oh well, I can't participate in the fast this time around." ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Instead of feeling defeated, I remembered a goal I've started for January to drink 100oz of water every day and wondered if that could be used to help me draw closer to God. I know it might seem silly, but here's the thing, getting 100oz of water down every day is TOUGH! ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ So maybe instead of giving up something for these next 21 days, I can DEDICATE myself to taking care of the body God has given me by staying hydrated. With each sip I can remember all His blessings and seek Him throughout each day - allow the water to be my reminder of God's presence in my life. Fasting is usually an act of discipline in giving something up in order to draw closer to God. I can do that by committing to my water intake. :) ⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #yogafaith #danielfast2019 # #jesusfirstyogasecond Love Puppies?⁣✔️⠀ Love Yoga?⁣✔️⠀ Love raising money to help kids?⁣✔️⠀ Yes to all! ⁣👍⠀ *⁣⠀ So I'll be leading a Puppy Yoga Class next Wednesday to help raise money for Mauldin High School's spirit week. I have no clue what that really means other than puppies walking around while practicing yoga... Have you ever practiced Puppy (or goat, chicken, or horse) yoga?? How was it? ⁣🤷‍♀️⠀ *⁣⠀ This should be interesting and tons of fun!! 🐾🐶 Working on New Year's intentions or goals? Start by seeking God first. Commit to Him & allow Him to lead. This is what I'm doing this week to listen for His lead for 2019! I'll spend time in prayer, scripture, and on my mat for quiet & stillness. How are you seeking God for your 2019?⠀ • • •⠀ Commit your activities to the Lord , and your plans will be established. 📷@youversion⠀ Proverbs 16:3 NLT. #jesusfirstyogasecond #christianyoga #yogafaith Enough said. This is one of the key passages we meditate on in this week's Jesus focused yoga - "yoga for advent" series (week 4-love). Maybe you'll take some time this week to GET STILL and focus just in this one fact: ⠀ ...⠀ God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world...🙌⠀ 1 John 4:9 NLT⠀ https://buff.ly/2BAyrX3 Sadly we will not have our Jesus-focused yoga class tonight @ GracePoint Church in Simpsonville, SC. Snowfall over the weekend delayed the carpet cleaner who is there today. The carpet will still be wet tonight for yoga. (That would be cold and wet yoga!)⠀ ⠀ Other class options this week: Thursday 1pm at Curves on Woodruff Rd. / Saturday 8:30am at Dance Without Limits on Old Spartanburg Road. Let me know when you can join us for week 3 of Advent Yoga: Joy! ALL yoga teachers need to be trauma informed and we need more trauma sensitive yoga offerings in our communities.
