I began taking a yoga class at my gym as a form of relaxation and stress-relief. I began to have a nagging feeling about the whole new-age association of yoga that as a Christian, I didn't want to be involved with. I was worried that I was opening myself up spiritually to something I didn't want to be opening myself up to. I quit going to yoga class, despite the way I loved feeling so stretched out and relaxed.
I rejoiced to find this book. It gives you simple yoga poses to practice at home as you worship God privately with your mind, soul, and body. Listening to Gregorian chants or quiet praise music brings my focus more to my Creator and less on myself or my technique.

Yoga has greatly my arthritis, and I believe has contributed to my weight loss. As a Christian, I've felt troubled by the "spiritual" aspects--so many writers on yoga say they've "gone beyond" their Christian or Jewish upbringing and found yoga something cool and groovy and much better.

I found Roth's book very helpful in showing we use our bodymind (her word) in our Christian walk.
