The Calling
Back in 2001, I was drawn to movement and meditation with curiosity on how it could be weaved together with the Word of God. My tribe has the belief that all things are given by the one true God, our Creator, and that all things in nature call back to who He is and His power in our lives. We therefore then practice that all things have bearing on our spiritual journey through this world. With that background, I continued to pursue ways to marry together all parts of my spiritual walk with God. Yoga seemed to be the final piece in this puzzle, but I was not sure that the way it was being taught was the way God intended. I began searching for the movement that the Lord would have me use as part of my full body worship experience. I looked into whatever movement modalities that were available. God put it on my heart that He wanted to redeem His movement back to Himself, and He wanted me to become part of that reclamation endeavor. I began doing yoga, changing the intentions and meditations in a way that glorified God. So, when I found Holy Yoga, it spoke to me in a special way. I was able to connect with Doran Richards in 2016, but never could quite get to a class.
When I finally was able 3 years later, it ended up being a class for current yoga teachers. They allowed me to stay, and I ended up having the most Holy Spirit filled experience!I ended up in tears under my blanket, just enveloped in the Spirit. I began to pray into what God would have me do in order to become certified. Five years later, I was finally able to enroll to study and become a teacher. Since then, I have had the most enriching time of reflection, deep transformation, and great conflict as well. The conflict being that of challenging myself to go further into the Word and understand even more about my life and purpose. Pushing past my spiritual and mental limits, stretching me to grow in ways that I had not known possible, have brung me so much closer to the Father. I finally feel complete and whole in my calling to do His will. “He says, be still, and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10a Stop striving in all things but this one: Striving to be closer to the Lord. Stay in His presence, know that He is who He says He is. His Word never returns void. The practice of Christ-centered yoga allows me to focus on His presence in my life and bless others through the teaching and practice of this modality.
