Body and Soul Yoga by Pamela aims to promote a balance between the physical, mental, and spiritual being, offering both faith-based and mainstream classes, as well as private and group classes at your location.

Rise and Shine Yoga (Christian faith-based yoga) incorporates scripture and prayer into the physical practice of yoga, sharing the experience of God’s presence through the practice of yoga in a faith community. It is a time of prayer, a time of worship, a time to simply be present with God in a new way, and experience an increased sense of God’s presence in the midst of our busy lives. A faith-based yoga practice allows us to find inner stillness in order to connect to and hear the voice of God, while also caring for the health of the physical body.

Each practice opens with scripture and meditation where we come to stillness, allowing us to hear the voice of God. "Be still and know that I am." (Psalm 46:10). The physical practice of postures allows us to create a moving, devotional, worship experience, celebrating the union we have with God. We connect with the breath of life that fills us with God’s spirit. The flow and moving meditation of the practice enables each student to develop strength, flexibility, body awareness, and to connect with God with an open, clear mind. The practice ends with a devotional and a closing prayer. This is an amazing way to connect our faith with all parts of our lives, leaving the mat more centered and able to carry that connection with us throughout our day.

Vinyasa Yoga (either mainstream or faith-based) is a more challenging practice of moving from one pose to the next on an inhale or exhale breath. It connects the breath with a flowing sequence of postures to create a dynamic and challenging practice. The flow and moving meditation of the practice empowers each student to explore their full potential while developing strength, flexibility, body awareness, and an open clear mind. It may incorporate Sun Salutations, Standing Postures, Arm Balances, Core Work, Seated Poses and Inversions.

This class assumes some yoga knowledge and experience, building on poses that are the fundamentals of yoga requiring a bit more strength, flexibility, and balance. However, modifications and use of props will be offered to make the class accessible to all levels (including beginners), ensuring more difficult postures and sequences are practiced safely and effectively. Modifications will also be offered to more experienced yogis to deepen their practice.

Yin Yoga is a long, slow, deep style of yoga done on the floor that targets the connective tissues, ligaments, and joints generally in the hips, pelvis and spine. It enhances flexibility, range of motion, and allows for stillness of the mind. While initially this style of yoga may seem passive, or soft, yin practice can be quite challenging due to the long duration of the poses. Postures are held for 3-5 minutes to help rejuvenate and recondition the tissue and allow the body to reach greater depths in a pose. Yin is a perfect complement to the more vigorous styles of yoga or any athletic workout, which generally emphasize internal heat and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. It is suitable for all levels – no prior experience required.
