Yogadevotion Faith-Integrated Yoga Certification

This online certification course begins with a deep dive into the intersections between Christian theology and Raja Yoga philosophy, comparing and contrasting the eight limbs of yoga described in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras with Christian scripture and theology.  Grounded in a secure understanding of these teachings, participants will then learn how to craft an authentic faith-integrated yoga practice for wellness and spiritual growth. Taught through online handouts and videos, this course gives students the knowledge to address questions about yoga and faith, shows how to adapt yoga techniques to create additional space to experience God’s presence, provides proven strategies for starting a successful faith-integrated yoga program in their church or community, and describes a pathway for spiritual growth that honors the yoga tradition while celebrating personal faith.
