Faith with a Twist: A 30-Day Journey into Christian Yoga seeks to bridge the gap between spiritual-but-not-religious by blending the ancient church's wisdom and the spiritual practice of yoga.
All too often, attempts to blend yoga and Christianity have failed to do justice to both traditions--often sacrificing the wisdom of one tradition for the other. Faith with a Twist connects the traditional eight limbs of yoga with the church's understanding and emphasis on living a holy life. This approach creates a unique blend of spiritual practices and religious wisdom that are perfect for the yoga novice and the experienced practitioner alike. Faith With a Twist invites you to strengthen your body, heart, and soul with 30 days of meditations, prayers, and practices. In addition, photos illustrate a series of postures (with helpful modifications that can be done while seated), as well as suggestions on how these practices can complement different seasons in the church year.
Written by Amy Nobles Dolan (an experienced yoga teacher, writer, and spiritual director) and Hillary D. Raining (an Episcopal priest, yoga teacher, and writer), this book is full of practices, prayers, wisdom, and insight that can help any person have a transformative spiritual life.
