Yoga is not simply a physical exercise; it is an invitation to explore the gift of God's peace. The practice of yoga is an opportunity for embodied spirituality. It is an invitation for worship, growth, and self-discovery. No matter your age, size, experience, or stage of life, with your heart set on your Creator, your yoga practice can indeed become a holy practice. There is often a misunderstanding that the practice of yoga is a religion; it is not. Yoga is a spiritual discipline, much like prayer, fasting, and meditation.
My own yoga and meditation practice as well as my teacher trainings invite a style that focuses on our creator, God. As a practitioner, I am grateful for depth and love of the Trinity. I incorporate my 12+ years of yoga practice as well as my various yoga teacher trainings into my retreat settings, spiritual direction sessions, and yoga & meditation classes offering safe space for your own spiritual practice.

Whitney R. Simpson
Whitney began practicing yoga as part of her recovery after stroke and brain surgery in 2005. She was hesitant a yoga practice could ease her chronic pain. Needless to say, she was wrong. Embracing the practices of yoga and meditation have been foundational for her recovery. Prior to completing her first 200-hour yoga teacher training and specialty trainings (Trauma Sensitive, Kids Yoga, Holy Yoga, Curvy Yoga & Chair Yoga), Whitney pursued graduate work and a certificate in Spiritual Formation (CSF) focusing on retreats and spiritual direction. She recently published a devotional with Upper Room Books. Whitney is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) and offers yoga & meditation as well as individual and group spiritual direction sessions. She hosts regular retreats and workshops and works with survivors of human trafficking, longing to create safe space for all. You can find her at her blog, www.ExploringPeace.com and on social media at @WhitRSimpson.
