Yoga Classes

Spirituality is more than an activity of the soul or mind alone. It also involves the way we treat our bodies. At St. James we encourage our members to take care of their bodies as a way of honoring the image of God in each of us. We also encourage the fellowship that small groups permit (like yoga class, choir, knitting groups and such). We offer a yoga class as a way to encourage meditation and to honor our bodies.

The focus is on increasing flexibility, balance and strength and on reducing stress through various hatha yoga postures and breathing. Classes usually include some Yin Yoga.
