"It was my first yoga session ever in my life and Malinda got me hooked. She was welcoming, laid back, and led the group at a perfect pace." - 2023-24 participant
At Pathways, we offer weekly yoga in multi-session series, with each session focused on a different theme (liturgical seasons, biblical themes, or spiritual practices). The weekly gatherings last an hour and feature a range of styles, primarily Hatha, Yin/Restorative, and Vinyasa on occasion. Our practice is friendly and available to those new to yoga as well as seasoned practitioners.
One of the primary goals of this program is to bring physical movement into contemplative Christian practices so that the healing we seek includes the integration of our body, mind, and spirit. Yoga also helps us develop breath awareness and explore what it means to speak of Divine Spirit as the spiritual force that works in harmony with the breath of life. Following this program, participants will hopefully be able to describe in their own words what it means to them to “breathe and be.”
This series of yoga sessions is for anyone interested in integrating movement into their prayer life and spiritual practice. The yoga teacher (Malinda) is trained in making modifications throughout a class to make asanas (postures or poses) accessible to beginners and appropriate for experienced through advanced practitioners. The space can fit 7 people comfortably.
