Shape Embodied Worshiping Communities
The Pathway to Yoga Chaplain program equips pastors and yoga instructors to create embodied worshiping communities—spaces that gather around a shared interest in yoga and center on the teachings of Jesus.
These communities create sacred space for those who feel distant from the traditional church yet remain open to exploring faith.
What is a Yoga Chaplain?
Yoga Chaplains are pastors, community leaders, and certified yoga instructors trained by Yoga Chapel to lead embodied worshiping communities.
They integrate yoga with Christian reflection, creating spaces where movement, breath, and meditation become part of a lived expression of faith.
