Wanted! Christians who want to embrace health and praise God!

New Pilates Plus Wellness Center Christian Yoga classes let you enjoy the health benefits of yoga plus have an hour-long devotional to Jesus Christ.

Many Christians are unaware that yoga is NOT a religious practice. Yoga is a health practice enjoyed by people of all faiths.

Yoga was developed in the same part of the world where Hinduism originated, so a large number of yoga devotees throughout the world incorporate chanting, Sanskrit words, and Eastern icons into their practice – but these are not inherent in the essence of yoga.

Now, you may be wondering: “If yoga is not a religious practice, what does it mean to have Christian Yoga?” This is a good question!

Pilates Plus Wellness Center Christian Yoga classes give you all the health benefits of traditional yoga offered in a praise-filled environment where you can deepen your connection with Jesus Christ.

What to expect in a Christian Yoga Class

Pilates Plus Wellness Center Christian Yoga classes are much like a regular yoga class: you will stretch, sweat, and feel great! The difference is, instead of offering yoga in a secular environment, we start every class with a Scripture reading, play faith-based inspirational music, and end with a Scripture reading.

If faith is an important part of your life, you owe it to yourself to try Christian Yoga!

We invite you to join us in our next session. Whether you live in Upper Marlboro, Brandywine, Bowie, unincorporated PG County, Lothian, or Dunkirk, you are just a short drive from a way to strengthen God’s temple. Register now to reserve your spot in our next class.

Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple. ~ 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 (New International Version)
