The Crash of the Charismatic and the Aging Contemplative

Doreen and Jennifer chronicle their first meeting at CPY’s 8th biennial teacher’s retreat, held in 2016. By this time, the network of Christians who practiced and taught yoga had grown substantially, and the needs of this community were changing. We just didn’t know it yet.

Unity in Diversity: Yoga’s gift to the Ecumenical Community

I believe it is a rare privilege to experience spiritual friendship with people who hold different worldviews. This privilege demands we put the doctrine, dogma and creeds that hold together our own unique identity into its proper place. I don’t know how it would be possible to do this without yoga and meditation.

Why I Fell in Love with Yoga

Accept, I heard in my head. Respect your limitations. If my physical body had limitations, did my mental and spiritual bodies have limitations too?

Do we yoga teachers talk too much?

Cindy speaks about the value of silence alongside words and asks the questions, “do I talk too much in my yoga classes? Do we collectively try too hard to drive home our own personal theology?”
