Journey of Hope Yoga

12/02/2025

Today is the day! It’s giving Tuesday. This Giving Tuesday is a reminder of the power of community. Journey of Hope Yoga has become a refuge for so many - a place where they can breathe again, move gently, and be reminded that they are not alone.

This year has stretched us in ways we didn’t expect. When our rent more than doubled, our first response was prayer—asking God to keep this space open for the people who walk through our doors carrying grief, anxiety, illness, trauma, and the weight of everyday life.

If our ministry has touched your life, or if you believe in creating safe, healing spaces in our community, we would be grateful for your support. Every gift—large or small—helps us continue offering free classes, compassionate support, and a place where hope can take root.

Thank you for holding this ministry in your heart.

Giving Tuesday -

Dear Friends, I’ve been reminded lately how deeply our bodies and hearts need rest—true rest that helps us breathe easier and return to ourselves with clarity and peace. Rest is more than a break, it is a gift from God.

Lord, thank You for the gift of community and the blessing of each person who gathers with us in heart and spirit. Surround them with your peace, fill their hearts with joy, and their days with Your steady presence. May this season be a gentle reminder of Your goodness and love. Amen.

This FREE class is a Christ-centered guided relaxation practice that leads the body into deep rest while the mind remains gently aware. Yoga nidra is conscious sleep with the intention to nourish and calm to your nervous system. This practice systematically moves through breath, body, and inner awareness. In a faith-centered practice, this time of stillness becomes an opportunity to rest in God’s presence, receive His peace, and trust His promises, allowing body and spirit to be renewed by His gentle care.

If you haven’t tried yoga nidra before you are in for a treat as this class is a favorite. It is a wonderful way to connect with Christ as you prepare your heart for the Christmas season.

Everyone is invited! This class is done on the floor, but if you prefer you can still do this practice seated in a chair. All you have to do is listen to the voice guiding you. Wear comfy clothing, bring your mat if you have one, your blanket and pillow.
