"Balancing self care and care of others is a life-long challenge. Regular time-outs for stretching, breathing and building core strength while listening to praise music provides that balance for me. A Yahweh Yoga class is like a mini soul retreat."

"As a Christian, I found that I didn't agree with everything in the standard yoga training I previously attended. After taking the Yahweh training I finally understod why. The instruction was very firmly based on Scripture with no emphasis on church affiliation. We left with a firm grasp on how to format a class that Christ-centered individuals could attend. The Advanced Studies Program was great with warm and loving attendees and instructors, good solid Christian based information and some great new friends. "

"This is the first time I have experienced Yoga and I was somewhat apprehensive about it being a Christian.  I was hooked though from the first class as it was grounded in prayer, scripture and uplifting Christian music.  As a bonus to these spiritual benefits, you are also doing great things for the physical side of the body. I would definitely recommend anyone to give it a try."  

Stephen Whalley, Phoenix, AZ

"Prior to advanced studies trainings, I enjoyed the benefits of Yahweh Yoga for six months. I wanted to gain a deeper knowledge of the principles behind yoga and more specifically the Christian aspect of Yahweh Yoga. We learned this training isn't yoga with a Christian name - rather it's a true integration of yoga into Christianity. Christian music is played, scriptures are read, prayers are offered and the classes are filled with the Holy Spirit. Yahweh Yoga is a wonderful Christian meditative experience and it provides many physical benefits."

Lynda Hartzler, Ahwatukee, AZ

"Yahweh Yoga has changed my life! It has become an integral part of my commitment to develop and strengthen my body. I love being able to experience this new adventure with friends who share the love of Jesus."

"I've had problems off and on during the years with my muscles
tighteningup resulting in headaches, back pain and other issues. The
neuromuscular therapist I used to see told me I needed to do regular yoga stretches and I found that the various movements made a tremendous difference. Unfortunately, the emphasis in the classes were heavy with eastern and new age influence so I always prayed continually while I was there. Now Courtney and DeAnna have provided a Christian environment to continue the exercise I need. They made me feel special and I found myself actually looking forward to exercising (ugh)! At the end of a session, my mind has been renewed with the word of God, prayer and contemporary Christian music and my body is relaxed and energized at the same time. And I walk back out into the world feeling better equipped to face the stresses of the next day."

Katherine Coleman, Chandler AZ

"It's an inspirational, positive experience. I feel completely de-stressed when I leave. I have lost 20 pounds in the past three months. It is great and it really helps me. I have gone on to advance studies "

"I practiced Hatha Yoga for 35 years in Hawaii. My body had been nourished yet my soul felt empty. Since I've been in the Yahweh Yoga advanced studies program, I feel closer to God and healthier than ever before."

Elizabeth Michelson, Scottsdale AZ

"I have so many motivations for going to Yahweh Yoga - wellness, fitness, spiritual healing and friendship. I always leave feeling healthy, strong, cleansed and loved."

Nakia Neves, Phoenix, AZ

"Yahweh Yoga helped me in spirt, soul and body. Honoring and worshipping GOD through music, centering my mind on HIM through conscious breathing and taking care of my body, HIS temple, through postures and movement! Thank you DeAnna and Courtney for honoring God's calling to help HIS daughters and sons become beautiful from the inside out."

Larrylyn Foss, Chandler, Arizona

"Through Yahweh Yoga I have conquered chronic lower back pain that I have suffered with for years since an injury in my teens. Not only is my body stronger and in better condition, but my soul is ministered to as well in each class. We are told that the greatest commandment is to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind and all your strength" (Mark 12:30). Practicing yoga centered around Christ helps me do just that."

"Yoga has opened up my life in many ways. I have had constant upper back problems due to scoliosis for about 10 years, which caused by ribs to subluxate and produce intense muscle spasms. Chiropractic adjustments did wonders for my pain, but yoga helped to retrain my muscles to permanently relax. With a regular regime of yoga and chiropractic care my pain is almost non-existent. Now as a doctor of chiropractic, I send my patients to Yahweh Yoga to compliment their chiropractic care and help them achieve results quicker with their many muscular skeletal conditions.

Most yoga classes offer opportunity for the body to relax and recuperate in ways that are hard to achieve with our successful daily lifestyles. Yahweh Yoga helps me to achieve this goal and provides me with the opportunity to give my daily stressors up to God.

The instructors at Yahweh Yoga live the healthy spiritual lifestyle they teach. The are amazing teachers and some of the most caring people I've ever met. I would highly recommend Yahweh Yoga to anyone who could benefit from relaxation, spirituality or a healthier lifestyle."

"I've had so many roadblocks in my thinking that I could not exercise. Through Yahweh Yoga I have learned I can become strong through balance and stretching. My practice has grown with each class as has my determination to become strong and healthy. Yahweh Yoga has given me inspiration that has spread into the other passions of my life. I consider my classes a very important part of my existence. I’m so grateful for Yahweh Yoga."

"It has been my supreme pleasure to work with the very gifted teachers at Yahweh Yoga. These women are extraordinary yoga practitioners who truly embrace and elevate yoga as a form of sacred prayer. Their yoga classes are always more than just a body workout - they are an honoring of the body as the Temple of the Holy Spirit (St. Paul.) The gifted teachers at Yahweh Yoga will inspire you as you glorify God in body, mind and spirit. Indeed, you will be filled with grace as you embrace the sacred journey of Yahweh Yoga."

"I love going to Yahweh Yoga! It totally relaxes my inner-self and refreshes my physical well being."

Luke Young, Phoenix, AZ

"My conventional yoga studio closed and I saw the Yahweh sign only once while driving in the neighborhood. Excitedly, I called and went to my first Christian yoga class to learn from Courtney and Deanna that the sign had gone missing soon after I had passed by. It was definitely a "God thing" for me to get connected and the blessings I have had from all of the instructors and classmates has enhanced my practice beyond anything I had hoped for. Thank God for the interest in Christian Yoga!"

Kathleen Tubbs, Ahwatukee, AZ

"Yahweh Yoga advanced studies training has been very beneficial to me spiritually, physically, emotionally and mentally. Talking with the other students in the group about their relationship with Jesus is both inspiring and edifying. Learning how to practice yoga postures safely and with organic as well as muscular energy is confidence building. Sharing prayers with each other has strengthened me emotionally. Studying anatomy has challenged me mentally. All the way around, Yahweh Yoga is a good thing."
