Seeking Christ through Yoga

While Christianity holds beliefs of the nature of Christ at its center, yoga holds an understanding of the nature of the seeker at its core. If the intention is to seek Christ, yoga gently turns the lost towards the sound of a trustworthy caretaker.

The world has been through a lot in the past year, dealing not just with one but several “viruses”: the virus of racism, the virus of sexism, the virus of hate and bigotry, the virus of dishonesty, etc. We are losing so many lives to these viruses, and we must acknowledge that this is the world that we are presently living in. That said, let us also recognize that each of our religious and spiritual traditions have continuously risen to be antidotes to these viruses.
