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 a faith-integrated yoga practice for wellness and spiritual growth. Taught through online handouts and videos, this certification course will give participants the training needed to start a faith-integrated yoga program in their church or community, the knowledge to address students’ questions about yoga and faith, and the skills to create a yoga practice that provides additional space in students’ lives to experience God’s presence.
