Welcome To Glory Christian Yoga

When I came to you for the first session of Glory Yoga, I had no idea what to expect other than an hour of fellowship with someone I really wanted to know better. At the end of that hour, my body was moved in many different directions, and in ways that I had not dreamed was still possible. My spirit soared as we shared God’s Word, and then used beautiful praise music to accompany all our moves. For the first time in many months, I was able to take a deep cleansing breath. At the end of our six-week class (only one hour each week), I am praising God for the many physical blessings I have received from our time together. For the first time in six years, my left hip is mobile and pain free. My spirit was filled with awe the first day that I realized the pain was gone. I eagerly count each day since the first one, and PRAISE God for every pain free day since. My neck, injured at age 15 (and which excruciatingly goes out just by shampooing my hair), is strong again. I can turn my head in traffic and not fear that I’ve missed the car beside me! The insomnia I suffered for so many years is quieting because my body no longer aches all night. Deep breathing, like we do through our routines, is now helping me get back to sleep when I do wake up.

The spiritual benefit of spending an hour with my thoughts on the Lord continues to bless me throughout the day. Palms to heaven, opening our hearts to heaven, and hands positioned in prayer as we go through the moves makes me focus on Jesus. To balance in new positions, yet still be able to sing along with the music truly brings His glory to my heart. I leave with a new peace and grace filling my spirit, which I know flows into my family and friends around me.

"The practice of yoga with Mary Beth is amazing. I was well into my fifties when I first stepped onto a yoga mat. Many years later I continue to be challenged by the practice and love every minute of her classes. She prepares sessions that challenge me physically, mentally, and spiritually. Over the years yoga with Mary Beth has kept me strong, flexible, centered, and healthy in body, mind, and spirit, and I’ve shed a few pounds along the way. I am blessed to have Mary Beth as my yoga teacher and friend."

"I have been coming to Glory Yoga for the last year and count it a tremendous blessing. I am unable to do any high impact exercise due to an injury and my orthopedic doc recommended that I participate in yoga.  I tried several secular studios but really felt the eastern religion emphasis made me uncomfortable. Mary Beth inspires us with God/s word each week and is an excellent teacher. She modifies my yoga practice due to my injury. It has really helped my hip pain and mobility and I hate to miss a week!  I also enjoy the Christian fellowship. I would highly recommend Glory Yoga to anyone who wants to praise God with their body, mind and soul!"

"I have been SO blessed by MB and Glory Yoga.   MB has a theme each week and she coordinates a Bible verse, music and prayer along with the theme. I think about the inspiring Christian music, the thought provoking Bible verse along with the encouraging prayer as I walk with the Lord throughout the week. Mary Beth is a wonderful instructor and treats everyone with love, respect and care.  I feel that the postures that we do are some of the best ways to strengthen, become more flexible and take care of this temple that the Lord has given me.  After the class is over, I feel as if I have received a wonderful massage and I am already looking forward to the next class!"

“Intermittent low back pain had afflicted me for over twenty years, when my doctor recommended I try yoga.  I took a yoga class at a local studio that began to loosen me up, but the low back pain still continued on and off.  Then my wife, who had heard about MB from a friend introduced us.  MB came to our house and custom-tailored a yoga practice to address my specific low back, hip and shoulder issues.  Within the first six months, I began to experience sustained relief and now three years later, my back, hips and shoulders feel better than they did in my twenties – all thanks to MB’s insightful, integrated yoga practice!”
