The Yoga Chapel Mission
Our mission, as the Yoga Chapel 501c3, is to equip pastors and yoga instructors worldwide to shape embodied worshiping communities that are available to all and connect people with Christ through a shared interest in yoga.
What is a Yoga Chaplain?
Yoga Chaplains are pastors, ministry leaders, and yoga instructors certified by Yoga Chapel to lead embodied worshiping communities. They are people who desire to connect with those in their community who feel disconnected from the traditional church but remain open to spiritual practices that include the teachings of Christ. Yoga Chaplains wish to share the experience of yoga, as a complementary practice to their Christian spiritual disciplines and to create and shape embodied worshiping communities with these practices.
